For those of us who’ve long been interested in France, its language, its history and its culture, arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport can feel like a lifelong dream fulfilled. On the other hand, even if you’re arriving in France without the country feeling like part of your personal mythology, I’ve got you covered.
France’s Many Faces
France is so much more than Paris, though there’s value to longer stays in the capital as well. For one, many amazing French destinations are an easy day trip from Paris, from the châteaux of the Loire Valley, to the wine lands of Burgundy. You can even see Mont Saint-Michel in a day, at least if you’re very ambitious.
Coming back to France for second helpings? Even if it’s your fourth, fifth or tenth trip, I can help you head as far off France’s beaten path as you’d like, and discover destinations and experiences you’ve only dreamed of. Paris and Provence are where France begins—but it doesn’t have to end there.
