Immerse yourself in the known and little known regions, cities and villages of France
Wissant: Three local, passionate entrepreneurs making a mark and succeeding in Wissant, who deserve all the support we can give them.
Chablis is a beautiful and tranquil destination that is perfect for wine lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat in the French countryside
French Alps: Every autumn, researchers from the Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine visit a network of study sites dotted through the French Alps. The network, a project called ORCHAMP, is set up along elevation gradients chosen for monitoring biodiversity from valley floors to high alpine meadows.
It’s been said that a man’s home is his castle. For a lot of women around the world, it’s a castle that needs to be cleaned, fixed up, and made welcoming for family and friends. It’s a job.I retired from a full-time career almost a decade ago which meant I never have to go to the office, get on a plane or spend the night in a hotel room again.
Le Brusc: I usually ride my bike and make my way into the village. The beaches are beautiful, the atmosphere is very local and it feels like it’s been untouched. There is an authenticity about this place and I believe that this is why I like it so much.
Carennac: a village where history, culture, and nature converge. Its well-preserved medieval architecture, rich cultural heritage, and stunning natural surroundings make it a unique destination that offers a deep sense of connection to France's past while providing a tranquil retreat in the heart of the Dordogne Valley.
The islands of Brittany: From the nearly 800 islands I've chosen to feature three that are a bit more 'sauvage' to discover and explore. On y va? Let's go!
I love Wissant for its beautiful bay, the uplifting light, the sunsets, the fiercely independent, no-nonsense locals, & the beautiful food. My husband prefers the depths of winter here when the vent du nord is truly blowing, the rain can be relentless and there are minimal tourists.
Le Mans is much more than the race! It a city in the Sarthe department in the Pays de la Loire region of northwestern France, best known globally for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest active endurance sports car race, which has been held annually since 1923 but there's so much more...
Tourtour — one of the prettiest towns I’ve seen. The views are spectacular and it feels like a little hideaway, tucked up in the high hills of the Haut Var, in Provence.
