L'Hermitage Gantois, Autograph Collection

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. In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months visiting France and 1.5 years living here, meaning I've gotten to explore many unique places throughout the country. Since I live in France now, I'll continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them! I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Bon voyage ! 🧳

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of France! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things France for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!
