Say Bonjour to France!

Somehow, France has been one of those countries that we’ve only dipped in and out of; a stopover in Paris here and there; a quick jaunt across the border from Germany or Belgium…we’ve been to France a lot, but the country as a whole still remains an enigma.

While we know there’s much to explore, we can help you get started with your trip planning with the posts we do have. And of course, we’ll have to go back to France and get to know it better one of these days!
