Escape to Provence. Part II: Gorges du Verdon

Verdon Gorge ("Gorges du Verdon" or "the Grand Canyon du Verdon") is one of the most impressive canyons in Europe. It has been carved by the Verdon river for almost two million years and is  listed as one of the „Grand Sites of France”(https://www.grandsitedefrance.com/). The Natural Regional Park of the Verdon was created in 1997 in order to protect the region and attracts thousands of tourists each year. This is why:

Do You, Do You Saint Tropez?

When talking about Saint Tropez, certain themes come to mind. First of all, this is the place where the classic 1964 French comedy "The Troops of St. Tropez", with Louis de Funes as leading actor, has been filmed. 

Escape to Provence. Part I: Roussillon, Menerbes & Bonnieux villages

Roussillon village

Roussillon is considered to be one of the most beautiful French villages, as it offers incredible views over the striking surrounding hills, composed of ochre rocks having different shades. The sight of the ochre quarries opens in front of your eyes as soon as you enter the village and it is truly astonishing.

Paris, my love

I have returned to Paris for the fourth time and the city of lights keeps surprising me. There are so many attractions, so many places to see, restaurants to visit and streets to explore that no one can ever get bored of it. This time, I avoided the classical touristic attractions and focused on the less known areas, as Paris has many stories to tell and secrets to be revealed. So, do not hesitate to visit less promoted areas, such as:

Rue Rivoli 59

Brittany region, France: a land for explorers.

Brittany (“Bretagne”) region in France holds a special place in my heart. This is where I have spent one of the most beautiful holidays ever, as well as the first reason I felt in love with France and decided to return here as often as I have the chance.

So, for all those interested in visiting a less promoted region of France, I warmly advice you to rent a car and visit Brittany for as many days as possible.

Short guide to visiting Cannes

Cannes is the right place for all beauty lovers. Once you get here, everything shall enchant your eyes, from the glamorous pedestrians to the exclusive yachts and opulent buildings alongside La Croisette Boulevard. 

Auvers-sur-Oise or following Van Gogh's final footsteps

Paris is surrounded by beautiful villages, full of charm and color. So, a day trip from Paris would be nice in case of revisiting the city, in order to alternate city strolling with discovering small villages. 

Among these picturesque gems, Auvers-sur-Oise is the obvious choice if you are also an art lover and especially a fan of Van Gogh's works. Visiting the village by foot allows you to discover places painted by Van Gogh during his short and final stay in Auvers-sur-Oise.
