Last week I went to the Savoie region to do a little "cheese investigation" haha. And I'm so happy to share with you some of the moments I had discovering Reblochon cheese, the nature of the Manigod (Aravis) area and their dedicated farmers! 16,000 tons of reblochon per year are produced in the Aravis valley of the Savoie mountain area of France. The altitude being 1000 meters up high affects favorably the cheese (wine too) as we know that what’s in the earth comes out in the[...]
Getting to Sardinia from Paris is easy and not very expensive. It's one of the best locations for a quick weekend getaway while visiting France that offers the sun and a different cultural experience. It's an Italian?island - so you get a whole different travel package where you can even practice your Italian. I wanted to share some photos from my trip to this beautiful resort in Sardinia. ?The topography is very tropical and feels like a little town where you can just watch the hours pass on[...]
Lately I've been thinking about a road trip from Paris! There are so many places that are easily in driving distance from Paris that would make not only great weekend trips but fun romantic getaways from the city if you live here. If you're visiting from another country, don't worry renting a car from Paris a super easy too and with a good GPS navigation (or an old school paper map) the roads are easy to navigate.? Now, this is especially a good list of places to visit if you're coming to Pairs[...]
We're off to Disneyland Paris! It's been on our to-do list for a while as a family and this Toussaint vacation ( a time where the kids take 2 weeks off school in October) - we did it! You'd think that a place that gets so many visitors from all over the world, being so close to home would have seen us by now, but nope. We took our sweet little time and we did it with the tour company ParisCityVision because they had these tickets that allowed for a taxi pickup then a ride in their bus with ac[...]
Are you on your way to visiting Frankfurt for the first time? We've rounded the best place to stay, things to do, places to eat and drink as well as wander around. With the help of my local pal Nina Chu! I visited Frankfurt for the first?time in November of last year and I was blown away by their local hand-cheese "Handk?se" (most people thinks it's totally not even cheese, apparently it also has the lowest percentage of fat!) the amount of coffee shops, just how nice people were and how the[...]
Mauerpark A favorite of locals and tourist on sundays, Mauerpark is one of Berlin's best flea?and past time, filled with vintage clothes, accessories and furniture. Located in Prenzlauer Berg area, we cycled?40 minutes from Neuk?lln. ?I was parched by the sun and ready for a tall glass of ice tea or something quenching. We stopped at one of the many small shops where you can buy water, snack and beer. Later, we?followed the crowd to a Ice-cream shop (Berlin has ice cream shops everywher[...]
