Last Saturday on prime time the French national television station France 5 broadcasted a travel documentary about Croatia.

The documentary titled ''Echappées belles'' or ‘’Beautiful getaways’’ presented Croatia as the youngest member country of the European Union with unbelievable natural heritage, rich culture, a whole array of UNESCO protected heritage sites as well as a country of exceptionally hospitable people.

This interesting documentary presents popular tourist destinations through unknown facts about the life and tradition of the local people, emphasizing active tourism and gastronomy.

Numerous French viewers had the opportunity to learn more about Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, the islands of Hvar, Dugi otok, Pasman, as well as about Pula, Brtonigla, Buzet, Kuterevo, the Gorski kotar region and the national parks of Paklenica and Brijuni.

The Croatian National Tourist Board supported the filming of this documentary, which, according to some estimates, will be watched by more than two million viewers and will definitely be great promotion for Croatia.
