The colours of Annecy, French Alps

I finished my special train trip at Montreax on Lake Geneva, and continued around the lake by train to Lausanne, which surprisingly is quite a big Swiss city on the lake, but more French than Swiss. Too big and bustling for me, but I managed to book ... Read more >

Ah, the French paradox

We have begun our eating tour of France very slowly.  So far we have been happy with eating in our apartment - the baguettes are of course amazing and only require butter.  The butter is special, I think  because it is saltier than ours.  Now, if ... Read more >

Mortain....& the DDay festival

Nice sunny day today so we opted for a bit of exploring on foot. Mortain is a small town only 8km from the cottage, we can see it high on a hilly ridge from the window by the dining table, until now we had only driven through it on the way to somewhere ... Read more >

I am sat in a street café in Nice down some random little cobbled street lined with artists and authentic Gussi bag vendors, totally lost and, given my relatively short journey, inexplicably knackered.   I am quite surprised I made it here ... Read more >

Normandy Beaches

The last few days have been spent taking it easy, short trips to local towns and enjoying the peace and quiet of our little cottage. I must share one story with you, last Wednesday we made our first, how do you say "menu" faux pas (stuff ... Read more >

Mothers' Day #3 or ... le Théâtre antique d’Orange

Mon, 31 May 2010 | By demilo | Views [1387]

It’s Sunday, I’m in Orange (the city you understand, not the colour) and it’s Mothers’ Day … again. If I ever went travelling with my Mum again she could clean up quite nicely by ensuring that it was Mothers’ Day each time we visited a country. I’ve ... Read more >
