Yes, we all know about the gorgeous cities in France! There’s a whole heap of cities such as; Paris (with all its secret spots), Bordeaux (with its historic centre) and Nimes (With its southern French charm) that always catch my eye – but France is so much more than just its cities. The whole landscape is … Continue Reading
I’m going to come right out and say it; I’m a sucker for a great hotel. No matter how amazing that view of the Eiffel Tower, Edinburgh Castle or The Northern Lights is, going back to a dark, a dingy or uncomfortable hotel can just put such a huge dampener on a trip. It has … Continue Reading
By the point we arrived in Issigeac, we’d come to realise (and happily accept) that France’s Dordogne valley is filled with some of the most pictures villages, cities and towns in all the land. We’re talking about places that look like you’re stepping into a French fairytale and is the idea of France that we … Continue Reading
I’ve always been a fan of embracing the season and so when winter swung by London and the first snow of the season had fallen, we hopped on a train in search of the ski slopes of France. Funnily enough, our trip to France would actually involve taking the train to Italy and then finishing … Continue Reading
On our very first visit to Nimes, there was one place I’d really wanted to see but considering how you’d need to have a car (or go on a bus journey which was rumoured to be over 1 hour long) and we’d showed up with no plans on getting a car, I’d just decided that … Continue Reading
The South of France is home to some of the most beautiful towns, villages and cities in all of France so my excitement was probably pretty understandable when we headed over to Montpellier for a weekend in France’s Occitanie region. We arrived pretty late at night so we didn’t do much in the city the … Continue Reading
So here’s the thing – no one ever really needs to ski – they want to! Skiing isn’t as much about necessity as it is about a great way to have a fun (and maybe, adrenaline) holiday. Now, I’ll not ever say that there’s a right or wrong way to travel (to each their own, … Continue Reading
We recently partnered with P&O Ferries on a day trip to France (which turned out to be the perfect excuse to go Christmas shopping – not just for gifts but for really cheap champagne and cheeses). It was easily one of the most convenient trips we’ve taken to France. We arrived at the Ferry terminal … Continue Reading

A trip to Bordeaux, France in late autumn/early winter sounds somewhat counter-intuitive; (trips to wine country tend to be done in summer, after all) but when you find out how to stay in a castle in France, or rather a “French Chateau” 😁, you tend not to overthink it! Plus, it’s so easy to get … Continue Reading
Brittany is one of the most beautiful places in France to visit. From quaint villages, and beautiful countryside to a stunning coastline; Brittany has it something for everyone. Best of all, there are so many of the best things to do in Brittany that are dotted all across the region. This all makes it one … Continue Reading
And this isn’t some sensationalist title I’m making up either. The red village of Collonges La Rouge has already been awarded the title of one of the most beautiful villages in France, it is regarded by many as ‘the prettiest’ and is looking to officially cement that with recognition from the French authorities. The title … Continue Reading
One our wine trip to France, we went from one absolutely stunning Chateau, to another to yet another – the Château Belles Vignes (all of which were found on the amazing Oliver’s Travel website). It was gem and after gem and this new one did not disappoint! Alas, on arrival to Bordeaux, with minutes to … Continue Reading
One of the most exciting parts of travelling is discovering new and rarely ventured travel destinations that are true gems and offer an experience you can’t get in many other places.
