Cyndie Bowen’s international French favourites

Cyndie Bowen has lived all across the globe, and even won the Expat of the Year in 2011. In our recent interview with her, she told us all about her latest venture, ‘Europe in a Box’ – brining the tastes of Europe to your doorstep.

So, when it comes to finding a taste of la France outside the country itself, we thought there was no better person to ask. Having grown up in Carcassonne, she first shared her favourite home-grown spots.

Tell us your favourite places in Carcassonne…

To eat… Chateau de Cavanac

To drink… Chez Felix

To shop… [there are] plenty of traditional boulangeries in the numerous nearby villages.

Day trip location… Montpellier or Toulouse!

Finding France all across the world

Having lived in four different countries beside her pays de naissance, Cyndie also shared her top French places in other cities.
