Travel Blogs from France, France
hands off
This is a top pick! We finally made it to a castle - Fénelon, somewhere between Sarlat and Souillac. I'll tell you it was magnificent, and beautiful, inside and out. Views (of course, it's strategically built) you want to jump right in to -wouldn't recommend ...
Nice, France
This is a top pick! Day 73 - We packed our bags and said goodbye to the feather bed. Now weighed down by our extra box of souvenirs we made our way to the train station. The train ride was quick and most of the time ran along the ocean. I was starting to get excited for the ...
elephants and hares
This is a top pick! I know I've been neglecting this blog terribly but the truth is there is not that much to write about. Mostly because of my back still playing up which means no long walks or wild parties - assuming there are any on offer. So my days are spent in and ...
France Day 17 - Tennis, Massage, and relaxing
This is a top pick! ... , and then I headed in to town for a massage! Yeah baby! ... I had been excited about getting a massage here in France. With their reputation for indulging in sensual things, I figured massage would be part of their culture, but from what Sandrine tells ...
gee, thanks - I guess
This is a top pick! This evening a small miracle happened. I was working on my last entry 'go home'. Nobody liked it. Peter said it's not your best, Mieke told me what she didn't like, that was just about the whole thing and Patsy fell still - well, we all know ...
Mont Saint Michel
This is a top pick! ... and the weekend off to extend their holiday. Worse still, it was the last week of the school holidays in that part of France. Our early excursion had spared us the worst of the crowds and we were able to enjoy a few hours of peaceful exploration before ...
A new breed of tourist? From ClubMed to graffiti
This is a top pick! People don't just want to lay on a beach or join in with fun activities on a holiday, reckons the guy who set up Club Med. So he's established a new kind of hotel, in a rough part of town, for sometime different. This story is from the ...
A night in Lyon
This is a top pick! After stopping in Avignon for a bit of a break and a peek at the Palace of the Popes, we headed off to spend the night in Lyon. Took a lovely walk around the city at night and took many photos, only to have not a single one work ...
France Day 21 - Exploring Brittany and St. Briac
This is a top pick! ... his family in is St. Briac. Janice had looked at the map earlier and saw St. Brieuc. Same general area on the map of France, ... and she figured maybe Francois had misspelled it. Also, strangely, St. Briac wasn't coming up on the GPS. So, we accidentally ...
c'est la vie
This is a top pick! ... from the heavens. Some god of architecture must have been smiling then. It was late in the afternoon, a culinary no-man's land in France; no self-respecting restaurant will have it's doors open at such a time. But we were getting hungry and I needed to ...
bienheureux
This is a top pick! ... find yourself in other worlds; different people, languages, history, food, music - all without traveling that many miles. And now I'm in France, the Dordogne. Getting closer to the cottage, I didn't even sit up straight to check the fields, the crops and ...
France Day 5 - Market and Le Mans
This is a top pick! ... just have to stop and say again how pleasantly surprised we've been at how warm and friendly EVERYBODY has been here in France. We haven't encountered anybody that has been rude to us. And actually, quite the contrary. Everybody has been warm and kind at ...
Southern France off-season - Part 1
This is a top pick! Hi everybody! During the first 2 weeks of March we took a terrific drive through France (Dordogne, Provence, Riviera, Burgundy), Monaco, and even a touch of Italy before heading back to Amsterdam. We were traveling in the off-season - or as we learned, ...
Of Bike Tours and Shopping
This is a top pick! Megan: We went on a really wicked bike tour and had so much fun. Our guide, Toby, was really cool and I was his official assistant guide. First we went down to the river and saw Notre Dame. We had some ice cream ... it was SO good; Mine tasted ...
Using your travel to your advantage for extra cash
This is a top pick! One of the advantages of being away from home when traveling is that you can sometimes qualify for things you wouldn't get back home. For example in Asia, foreigners because of their pale complexion (and assumed wealth) travelers find they have an ...
Eating our way through France . . .
This is a top pick! ... paintings as well. Of course, we also managed to sneak in several excellent restaurants where we dined to our hearts' content. Alas, France was not all perfect. While we did met some exceptionally nice people, who went out of their way to be helpful ...
In Which We Arrive
This is a top pick! Megan: Today was fun but tiring. We sat on a plane for a long time. I bought a souvenir for my sister! We went to two museums. One was about the history of Paris and one was about dolls. I think Paris is a lot more than I thought it would be. ...
interesting bits
This is a top pick! Thursday another visit to the Terrasson market. Mieke and I made a bee-line to the second-hand clothes. Not that we needed anything - I don't think I know a single person that really needs more clothes - but everything costs only 2 euro, so who can ...
under control
This is a top pick! ... with the last of the Perrier and slide into a cold, damp bed, the words of the 'castle's' caretaker ringing in my ears: 'Welcome to France. Three days ago we had snow up to our knees.' But we got here, safe and - well? It's going to be just fine. ...
Paris
This is a top pick! ... rooms plastered with enormous pictures of the little man. One also has a enormous phallus that was 'erected' in honour of France conquering Austria somewhere along the line. After wandering through the great halls and rooms of the palace you make your ...
Skating in Paris
This is a top pick! As soon as I found out there was an ice rink on the Eiffel Tower I had to go. I didn't care how small it was or how much it cost. The fact it was included in the price of a climb to the first floor did make even more attractive. There was also a good ...
Normandy Weekend (+ a little more Belgian beer!)
This is a top pick! ... of June, starting on Friday evening with the Beer Passion weekend in Antwerp, Belgium, followed by a drive to the Normandy coast in France Saturday - Monday. It was a lot of driving in a short time (8 hours each way), but it was a great weekend. We ...
musical itch
This is a top pick! Bernadette sings in our local choir, Chorale de la Bachellerie. We were kindly invited to a concert in the St. Nicolas church of Chatres, about 12 kilometers from here. The village is not much to speak of, but the view is spectacular, as it's on top of ...
drives me mad
This is a top pick! It's raining - it's pouring. There's a stream running through our house, water seeping in from the rock it's built on. The little road has turned into a muddy current. This is serious rain. Claire and Ralph + their two children, our 'bottom' ...
acquired taste
This is a top pick! ... I was looking for something to go with the Calvados. No crisps since I gain a stone each time I go to France. I remembered the platter of cheese - good time to polish off the left-overs. Peter politely declined: 'Sure ...
ant-agonizing
This is a top pick! Just a quickie before we leave for St. Leon-sur-Vézère. Another puzzle. Ants again. I left a cup of orange juice on the table outside and noticed some ants making their way towards it. Well, it was hot and I thought they were either thirsty or fancied ...
France Day 27 - Reunited and it feels so good!!
This is a top pick! ... experience and that in the States. It seems that everybody we've spoken to about religion on this trip in both Spain and France has related how much a personal affair it is, spoken of to only very close family. Unlike the Evangelical movement in the ...
And We're Off to Ol' Paris
This is a top pick! We got up at about 7:30am for our 8:47am train so we could make sure everything was packed up and to make sure we took care of everything we told Diane we would since they're gone to Canada. When we were ready we went downstairs to the greenhouse ...
