  • Back to Paris for our final few days Back in Paris for our last days. Nothing to do, nothing to rush out and see.

  • Dijon, ancient capital of BurgundyFour days in beautiful Dijon. Just another French gem. We had spent a couple of nights here on our very first trip, way back in 2010. Didn't get the chance to do much exploring, something we plan to rectify this Posted by d.j.browning in Travel in a Post Covid World 2022 | Dec 13, 2022
  • Relaxing few days doing nothingCountdown to Paris and flying home. After the hustle and bustle of Rome, Lyon seemed the perfect place to start winding down (not that Posted by d.j.browning in Travel in a Post Covid World 2022 | Dec 12, 2022
  • Exploring AvignonOn our first real day in Avignon, we planned to walk around and enjoy the day. Our neighborhood is a maze of narrow streets deep between four or five-story yellow stone buildings. There are no window boxes of Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 26, 2023
  • Cross country from Sarlat to AvignonWe packed, ate breakfast, and left Sarlat on our way to Avignon, cross country, not the fastest route, but the most direct. Direct routes in France can be an issue, narrow roads, unclear signs, and misadventures. Since the Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 25, 2023
  • Chateaux - A great dayAnother morning, another cup of coffee and croissant. This time, we headed to the place next to the boulangerie, with real coffee cups and an expresso machine. Once we entered, we realized that it was simply a bar. Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 24, 2023
  • 2023-09-23We arrived in Marseille France this morning. We were to have a tour of the main city but tourist traffic was stopped due to President Macron and the Pope meeting. The city was shut down unless you wanted to explore Posted by Mystic Explorer in Mystic Explorer | Sep 23, 2023

  • Compiegne Back to Dover and the Ferry after a fleeting visit to UK, this time no thorough inspections of all the cavities in the van!!!! Obviously not a concern going in the opposite direction. Landing on French soil we headed west Posted by Seniorcitizens in Roaming in an RV | Sep 22, 2023
  • Dieppe & Dunkirk/DunkerqueWe left one part of WW2 history and continued travelling north to the site of yet another ‘heroic’ WW2 stand. Travelling north the countryside looks far less quaint and rural and there are more signs of industry. Posted by Seniorcitizens in Roaming in an RV | Sep 22, 2023
  • A sad day…Today is Vendredi (Friday) and it was our dernier classe (final class). While it’s been a struggle at times and has hurt my brain, it’s been really good and I have learnt so much. Our teacher - Isabelle - is Posted by Nerissa_ in Long Service Adventures | Sep 22, 2023
  • Toulouse-Lautrec, Humanity and the Hunt for FoodWe were up to church bells and the cooing of doves. The morning was cool and soft as we walked to a cafe for coffee and croissants. Next door, HVAC men were working on a building. Old Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 22, 2023
  • Beautiful BordeauxThis week we played hooky from class for one day to go on an overnight getaway to the Bordeaux region. We looked at going last weekend, but there were a number of things happening in the city and we couldn’t Posted by Nerissa_ in Long Service Adventures | Sep 22, 2023
  • 2023-09-22Arrived at Montpellier (Sete) France 🇫🇷 this morning. We had a rolling evening sail from Barcelona. We took a bus from the ship and saw many vineyards, oyster farms in the lagoon to a quaint city and on to an Posted by Mystic Explorer in Mystic Explorer | Sep 22, 2023
  • Lascaux and LunchThe cathedral bells were right outside our apartment, struck seven o'clock, but we were already up with a pleasant start to the day. We walked down the hill to the square. Vendors were putting up tables. A Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 21, 2023
  • Driving from Paris to Sarlat la CanedaIn the early morning we were up, packed and out our Paris apartment for the last time. We stopped to take a picture then headed around the big intersection at Place Denfert Rochereau. On the other side was Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 20, 2023
  • Recharging by the lake Leisurely start to the morning. We are in a southern suburb of Strasbourg. Ride to a nearby supermarket to buy breakfast and then next door to Decathlon. Take turns checking out Decathlon. Kim wants waterproof gloves and overshoes to keep Posted by darrenhough1974 in Tandem Tales | Sep 10, 2023
  • Humility in ParisYou can’t imagine how much fretting went into our trip to Giverny. Last night, which I didn’t write about then because it was such an effort, I tried to buy the train tickets from Paris. It sounds simple, Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 18, 2023
  • Paris on a WeekendWe were up and walked to our cafe on Rue Daguerre. We had timed tickets for the Louvre but plenty of time for breakfast. We selected a table out under the awning. We had yet to eat Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 18, 2023

  • A Walking TourWe woke to a beautiful sunrise in Paris, a good start, except that the plan had been to be up and out early and make a leisurely walk to the Left Bank and meet our guide, Marita, from Paris Greeters. Posted by Deuxenvacances in France | Sep 16, 2023
  • Canal riding, near crash and bonking at 50kms The early morning sun is strong so no sleep in. We enjoy our morning coffee overlooking the river and chatting to our German neighbours. We are drinking our coffee out of plastic cups as our origami folding cups are no Posted by darrenhough1974 in Tandem Tales | Sep 7, 2023
  • Back to France and time for more French cheese and wine We enjoy coffee and breakfast on the balcony with Simon and Stefanie.
