Wow! That is the best word to describe my experience of Nice. I arrived in the afternoon by train from Marseilles, and the first thing I did was walk down to the beach. An easy 15min walk and I was having ice cream on the beach in Nice! That evening ... Read more >

Well, we did arrive in Provence, finally!!!!! We had some fun and games around some towns where we missed turns or ended up in reconstruction areas with no redirection routes. But that is part of the travel experience in a car, and not for the faint ... Read more >

Following The "Treasure Map"

Well I’m sure you’re all wondering what happened after I left you last. I was on the train to Lyon, hoping that I’d have a bed at the only hostel in town… don’t panic, everything worked out. It was surprisingly easy to get to the hostel, a bus, then ... Read more >

Dordogne Valley and the Perigord, Southwest France

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 | By 4ofus | Views [82]

Coming to you from a train… traveling from Dijon to Lyon (where I hopefully have a bed tonight). Since I’ve updated you last, I’ve been to a few places in the French countryside – Nancy, Strasbourg and Dijon. I’ve enjoyed being off the ‘beaten ... Read more >

Week 6: Three star Pietons sous la soleil et la pluie in the Dordogne

Sat, 6 Jun 2009 | By kathryn_hendy_ekers | Views [101]

  I think I mentioned last week that we would be stuffed full of foie gras and red wine by the time I wrote my next entry. However, this was not the case. We were in for quite a surprise with our walking tour. We have spent 8 days on the tour in the Dordogne ... Read more >
