By bike through the Gorges du Tarn to Point Sublime
A beautiful, crisp September morning in the south of France. Yesterday’s storm had long passed, the sun was already making her presence known but the warmth of the day hadn’t arrived yet. And we, we were putting on our cycling outfit. Ready to discover the beautiful canyons that were surrounding us. Deep in the Tarn… Continue reading By bike through the Gorges du Tarn to Point Sublime
Stormchasing in La Cité des Pierres – Montpellier-le-Vieux
While we didn't have an exact itinerary for our roadtrip through France last September, there were of course a few places that we had in mind as a direction. The area around the Gorges du Tarn and the Gorges de la Jonte was one of those places. After a little - but not bad at… Continue reading Stormchasing in La Cité des Pierres – Montpellier-le-Vieux
Overnight stop in the Ardeche region to escape the heat
Completely satisfied, but also with a serious case of jello-legs, I got in the car to further our travels into France. Our time in the gorgeous Vercors Massif was over. Bummer! But no time -and reason- to sulk for long; new adventures awaited! The next region that we wanted to explore was the Cevennes. From… Continue reading Overnight stop in the Ardeche region to escape the heat
De-stressing in Pont-en-Royans and stressing on Col de la Machine
I've been traveling for many years now, and my favorite way of exploring a place has always been by foot. When I'm in a city, I love to wander through the labyrinth of streets, discovering little corners and unique streets with architecture that moves and inspires me. And when nature is calling me, I'm happiest… Continue reading De-stressing in Pont-en-Royans and stressing on Col de la Machine
To the top of the Grand Veymont in the Vercors Massif
When the friend you're traveling with has a thing with hiking to the top of mountains on holiday, you have no other choice but to follow and make sure his tradition remains intact. Thank god I love hiking. And mountain tops. And a challenge. As you can see, following was a very big sacrifice on… Continue reading To the top of the Grand Veymont in the Vercors Massif
Exploring the gorgeous trails at Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval
After an amazing two days in the Jura region, it was time to continue our roadtrip to another region of France. Yay! A colleague of my friend told us about a place in the Haute-Savoie called the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval, an amphitheater-like valley close to the Swiss border. We only needed to see one picture… Continue reading Exploring the gorgeous trails at Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval
A two day trip through the Jura region – France
I don't know if it was the fact that I was deliriously happy to be traveling again or if I'm just meant for camping life, but I just aced my first night in a tent. Both a relief and a revelation! So well-rested and armed with new knowledge (on my part), we packed up our… Continue reading A two day trip through the Jura region – France
A swift 16th century stop in Troyes before the next ‘Tour the France’ stage
At the same time as the more famous event with the same name was being held, my Tour de France 2020 continued in September. This time around, it was a pretty long stage, with a lot more effort required to make it through to the end. But it was the best one to date and… Continue reading A swift 16th century stop in Troyes before the next ‘Tour the France’ stage
Hiking trip to the French Ardennes
I admit it. I'm addicted. I've gotten a taste of something, liked it - a lot - and now I can't get enough of it. I'm very quickly falling in love with France and quick trips across the border and now I can't stop myself from planning my next trip even when another one isn't… Continue reading Hiking trip to the French Ardennes
