- Day 31Before I forget, here’s a photo for Sarah! Not sure how you choose which macaroon to have, and in fact we saw one person walk away with a sleeve of them that must have been 30cms long!

- Day 27 - 28So the plan had been to spend a day in each of the three valleys here, but Monday brought high winds at the tops and the possibility of snow showers, so most of the lifts were closed. We managed to Posted by EMTHOMSON in Ski Europe 2019 | Mar 6, 2019
- Day 26Wasn’t sure what to expect of the ski field. French certainly sounds different and I’m saying Grazia, and Caio without thinking! Merci and per favore aren’t rolling off the tongue. So our ski in/ski out hotel is a 10min walk Posted by EMTHOMSON in Ski Europe 2019 | Mar 3, 2019
- An Epicurean Odyssey: The Dordogne part III (Sarlat)I had come across mentions of Sarlat-la-Canéda several times in my research on the Périgord, but somehow came away with the impression that it was just another of the many pretty little villages in the region.

- Paris Part 4 - Cram It In It arrived, our last day of our trip. However, with a 3:15 departure we wanted to enjoy the day as much as possible and basically cram in what else we had hoped to do. This included shopping for the Posted by Mommytravels in This Mommy Travels | Feb 27, 2019

- Paris Part 1- Who Needs Sleep?The reality of the red eye from the east coast usually hits me as we wait with the sea of humanity in the customs line, however the promise of the fun that awaits keeps me going...... But on this trip Posted by Mommytravels in This Mommy Travels | Feb 21, 2019
- An Epicurean Odyssey: The Dordogne part II (Périgueux) Our Airbnb host in Périgueux was a very kind lady who insisted on giving us a tour of the town center. Our apartment was situated on the bank of the River L' Posted by zzlangerhans in Babies in backpacks | Feb 21, 2019
- An Epicurean Odyssey: The Dordogne part I (Bergerac)France is a country composed of smaller pieces, each with their own distinct renown.

- An Epicurean Odyssey: Over the Pyrenees and into France This was our second time driving from Spain into France through the Pyrenees.

- Absolute chaos and carnage After receiving a 75 euro tip, it was time to clean the chalet top to bottom. As our next guests were late arriving, this gave us more time to clean and nap and snack which is always a bonus. 2 Posted by Benannatravels in Chalet Hosting in the French Alps | Feb 6, 2019
- Fresh Powder & Fresher FacesWe have been here almost 6 weeks now and it’s flying by. Flying by like a flame in a fan oven… because Anna set fire to the baking paper.
