France is such a big diverse country. And it is not just Paris. Wine regions, castles, lavander fields, charming villages and posh coastal towns, beaches, forests and of course the mighty Alps where we skied for quite a lot of seasons. Lately I keep going back to the French Atlantic coast. For the delicious oysters and something else :).
Last year’s road trip through France started in the north of Germany, from where we crossed Netherlands and the Belgian-French border in just one day. After a long day of driving we arrived to Normandy and spent the next days discovering its beautiful coastline, slowly moving west. At Mont-Saint-Michel, we crossed the virtual border into Brittany, which was actually our …
We chose France for our first real family road trip with Mila, who was 3 months old at the time. Afterall she is half French and it seemed like a good idea. Our final goal was to reach Ile de Re island, where we ended up staying a month while visiting Charlie´s family and friends, but instead of just rushing …
The best ski place in Europe? For me, definitely in France. Surely there are many other awesome spots in Austria, Switzerland, Italy and elsewhere, but the French Val Thorens and Tignes are right at the top of my list.

It was definitely not a boring one in terms of travel – we ended up visiting 18 countries on 3 different continents! Some of them with Lu and some of them just the two of us. Besides these really awesome …

Ever heard of the French island called Ile de Re? No? Me neither for a long time. With an exception of many visits to Paris, a road trip on Cote d´Azur and the French Alps where I used to spent my winter skiing holidays, I really don´t know much about France. Such a shame though, as it is a beautiful, …
When we were younger we used to ski always either in Austria or in Italy (besides Slovenia). But then, at one point we went to France and went again and again and again. You get the picture. Austria, Italy and Slovenia were good for a day, or a weekend, or a ski opening, but seriously, it´s hard to compete with …
