The Famed French Riviera

Hi there! Our last post shared some of the medieval stops in Southern France I visited while en route to the coast, so it’s finally time I talk about the famed French Riviera! This was my first time in this region and it’s glamour did not disappoint. Check out my 5 reasons on why I think […]

de Nîmes

Hi everyone! Another quaint place I was able to visit on my work trip was the French city of Nîmes. If you remember correctly from my previous post about some medieval sites, the Pont du Gard aqueduct provided water for Nîmes for many years. The aqueduct isn’t the only bit of Roman history you can […]

Medieval France

Hi everyone! After spending a few days in Barcelona, my euro work trip continued on to Southern France. I must admit that before this, most of my knowledge of France came from my three previous trips to Paris. This was the first time I was able to explore some of Provence & the Southern coast! […]

Versailles in Peak Season

Hey everyone! Although we wrote a post last year about our trip to Versailles, we were able to visit again in peak season this past April, and the atmosphere is certainly different.

Monet’s Gardens

Hello again! While we were in Paris, we were able to take a day trip to Giverny to visit Claude Monet’s house. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when we planned this trip, but it was incredible! The gardens were in full bloom, it smelled amazing and the house looked like something out of […]

Montmartre

Hello again! During our week in Paris, we were able to spend a morning in the region of Montmartre. This area is known for ART! (Not because there are a lot of museums, but because of all the famous artists who lived and worked there). One morning is not enough to explore all Montmartre has […]

The Louvre

Hey everyone! Since the Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world (and possibly the most famous), I thought it would make for an interesting blog post. Sometimes people who travel to Paris skip the Louvre, or chose to only go in to see the Mona Lisa, but there is so much more […]

Je suis Paris

Hello everybody! Two weekends ago Amanda and I were able to travel to Paris, France, or as Amanda kept reminding me, the city of love! Unfortunately, as you may have realized, Paris was just one week removed from a brutal terrorist attack and the city was on high alert (as were Amanda and myself). Fortunately, […]
