Travelling to France can be a great idea, not least because the country has beautiful landscapes and regions that would be a shame not to discover!
So I’m dedicating this section of the blog to ideas for visiting France that should help inspire you if you’re planning a weekend or a stay in the country.
France offers beautiful and very different regions. I have moved more than twenty times and have had the opportunity to live in the west of France as well as on the French Riviere, in the Lille area up north or in different areas of the Paris region.
This has given me a natural curiosity for the regions I travel through and I find that each one has its own little charm that deserves to be discovered!
