Idyllic Life in the French Countryside01 Dec 2015

french restaurantWithout question, the romantic city of Paris has a lot to offer and shouldn’t be missed, but don’t overlook the rich and varied countryside when visiting France. Venturing beyond the City of Lights is a journey of the senses. Each region boasts it’s own treasures – traditional recipes found only in that region of France, varied landscape ranging from majestic mountains to quaint seaside villages or luxurious beachfront resorts, and still very visible today is the historical evidence of the Celts, Greeks, Romans and Franks. In addition, several fascinating caves filled with prehistoric drawings have been found. Distinctive cheeses and wines are produced in various parts of the French countryside, further setting each region apart.

A recent month-long exploration of Brittany in the northwest introduced me to new foods and delicious apple cider, the Celtic language (sub-titled on most road signs) and mysterious stone monoliths. Even having visited the infamous medieval city and abbey of Mont Saint-Michel before, I was eager to once again visit this stunning example of man’s ingenuity in design. Miles and miles of scenic coastline canbe explored on wonderful footpaths in Brittany. Roads are in excellent condition making it easy to drive on your own and the region is well served by train.

Here are a few photos to give you a glimpse of this beautiful and peaceful region of France, but I encourage you to take your own photos and create your own memories. Let our experience show you how–call us today to begin planning your custom journey into the French countryside!
