We have done a number of trips to France such as Normandy and the Loire Valley, and we already suspect that we will be back again to see more of this beautiful country. There is much to see and it’s nice to be able to speak French too, even if they smile at our accent. […]
While we were quite happy to take the train for much of our recent trip through France’s Provence and Occitanie regions in the South of France, we opted to travel between Avignon and Carcassonne by car to see some of the historic sites along the way.
We love taking road trips around Europe and have done quite a few. There is so much history and once outside the main cities we find the people a little friendlier, the prices a little cheaper, and the crowds a little smaller! It’s also fun to have the flexibility of doing the trip with a […]
