Classic Netherlands
A small territory completely flat, enlarged thanks to conquests on the sea (the famous polders), the Netherlands have long turned to the outside and are distinguished for their tolerance and open-mindedness. If Amsterdam is a flagship destination to spend a weekend, the rest of the country, it is a little left out; While the capital is a fine foretaste of the culture and history of the Netherlands, there is no doubt that the rest of the country deserves equally passionate attention.
The Netherlands is aptly named: they are among the world's lowest-altitude countries, with a quarter of its territory even below sea level. Something had to be done to expand the area, and Dutch have become masters in the art of gaining ground on the sea, by landscaping many polders on the coast.
It is therefore not surprising that polders can be used to gain water and swamp water, as is the case, for example, in the country's largest cities, Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam, the capital, exotic destination and easily accessible from France.
