Visiting France at least once in your life should be on everyone's bucket list. It is the land of mouthwatering food, fascinating history and iconic art.
Here, I've put together ALL of my FREE and paid guides and itineraries related to this wonderful country. I like to make things easy to navigate so I've arranged everything by major city!
Why am I qualified to talk about France? My boyfriend of 8 years is French and I actually have lived in France for the past 2 years! I also have been fortunate enough to visit on many occasions, AND explore many of its most gorgeous regions!

After living in Lille for over a year, it’s easy to say that Northern French food is like no else! I have been eating well in Lille and here are some of my top recs!
I will be updating this guide whenever I visit a new worthy restaurant so be sure to save it for the updates!
Lille Lingo: An "Estaminet" is a traditional Northern France restaurant that offers authentic northern dishes! They tend to be very homey and cozy as the foods they offer are the definition of comfort food!

In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months in France. My situation is unique because my boyfriend is French, so I often get to explore areas of the country that other travelers might not think to visit.
Paris is certainly worth experiencing, but the rest of France has so much to offer, too! Spanning as far north as Lille and as far south as Bordeaux, this guide will give you everything you need to experience some of the best areas of France, outside of its capital.
The best part? I don't plan to stop exploring France anytime soon! I will continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them myself.
I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Safe travels! 🧳

Let's face it, rainy and overcast weather is a part of the culture of Lille and living in the north of France. It’s something you cannot really avoid BUT you don’t have to let it stop you from having fun.
So many activities and locations around Lille offer indoor fun, which is the perfect way to spend a rainy day! Have a look below for some inspiration!
I plan to add more ideas to the list as I have one more year left in Lille and plan to make the most of it! Make sure to save this guide so you can have access to any future updates!

Bruges has become known as one of the most underrated towns in Europe. It is a quintessential, fairytale town in Belgium that is decorated with canals and flemish architecture.
Luckily enough, this town is also the PERFECT day trip from either Lille, in the North of France, or Brussels, the capital of Belgium. This guide has planned out your day trip for you, giving you the chance to enjoy every moment of your visit.
In this guide you will unlock:
🚂 detailed information about getting to Bruges
🛶 2 activity suggestions
🌳 +10 spots and hidden gems
🍽️ 7 food & drink recommendations (1 lunch spot, 1 dinner spot, 1 bar and 4 snacks)
🗺️ + all recommendations are listed in geographical order, making it even easier for you to just follow along step by step!
I have been lucky enough to pay a visit to Bruges 4 separate times, and with each visit, I have discovered new hidden gems or revisited my go-to favorite spots. And of course, all of these recommendations I've consolidated for you here!
I hope you enjoy visiting this fairytale town as much as I do! ✨
