May 29, 2019 – June 2, 2019 Even if you’re not a history buff, a tour through Normandy is a great way to see the French countryside, coastline, and city life. We spent four nights driving through the region with our good friends Lauren and Vik, who were in town from the US. The route…

Swiss road trip + French skiing
March 18, 2019 – March 25, 2019 Switzerland is home to a few of my very favorite things: cheese, chocolate, mountains, yodeling.

St. Emilion – French Wine Country
June 2, 2018 – June 3, 2018 A romantic weekend trip to wine country, what could be better?

Very Nice
February 18, 2017 – February 19, 2017 It’s been a dreary few weeks in the Dam, so we headed south for the weekend to the beautiful French Riviera. The weather was absolutely perfect – not a cloud in the sky and no jacket necessary. Thank goodness I dug my sunglasses out of the bottom of…
