2024 Day 34 Collonges-la-Rouge
We’re back doing what we love most, using our Les Plus Beaux Villages book as a guide through France’s wildflower bedecked countryside. I can’t express how grateful I am that I randomly spotted our book […]
2019 Day 103 – Le Bec-Hellouin and Honfleur
Having toured the Abbey yesterday, the morning brings an opportunity to explore the rest of Le Bec-Hellouin. It’s a hasty tour, completed at speed under an ominous sky. The lighting meanwhile, is rather fabulous.I’m hard […]
2019 Day 102 – Le Bec-Hellouin

Finally, our timing works to enjoy one of the best aspects of French country life – market day! Beaune’s is a particularly good one, with a wonderful array of produce. The only challenge is exerting […]
2019 Day 89 – Eguisheim
We fell in love with Eguisheim last year, one of the Les Plus Beaux Villages, just out of Colmar, in the gorgeous Alsace region. We vowed to return, if only to enjoy the lunch we […]
2019 Day 30 – Lost in Lavender
