Introduction
We like being in France very much. The country has a lot to offer in terms of nature, landscape, culture and history. There are high mountains, middle hills, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coasts complementing each other, nice cities, quaint market towns… And the French are… well… so French!
In this section of our website we will take you on our journeys through France with:
- Some blog articles and background information
- Many photo galleries of the places we particularly like.
We will also share our “home spots”, places to which we have a special connection:
- Paris: Vero's home town. Born in the 15th and bred in the 14th arrondissement, she is definitely a Rive Gauche girl but always up for a walk on the right side of town.
- La Baule and the Guérande Peninsula: a stretch of coast and its hinterland from the mouth of the Loire in St Nazaire up to the mouth of the Vilaine in Pénestin, encompassing the sandy beaches of La Baule-Pornichet, the côte sauvage between Le Pouliguen and Le Croisic, the salt marshes of Guérande and the swamp landscape of La Brière.
- Gap and its surroundings: a pleasant and very sunny city located on the southern fringes of the Alps, right between the Provence and the higher mountains of the Dauphiné. It is perfect for scenic summer hikes and many smaller ski resorts are in short driving distance with many opportunities for snowshoe hiking, cross-country and downhill skiing.
- Le Mont Saint Michel: an incredibly touristy site but well worth a visit and not to be missed.
This section is much a work in progress, so come back and visit again to check what's new.
