Porte Cailhau

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! 🧳

This is an itinerary I made with my family, we did a lot of places in a short period of time, you can definitively stay longer in some places, or do just one part of it ( for example only Galicia , Cantabria & Asturias; or only Pais Vasco ) The only place I would skip in this itinerary is Vigo, the rest of them are incredibly nice. Orense is nothing special but the Canyon is worth visiting.

Go on a French trip that is not just Paris, but bringing you to the wine regions of Bordeaux - specifically Saint Emilion and Margaux! I provide the detailed itinerary to the minute (time required to travel to and fro each location) and all you have to do is book your tickets, pack your bags and follow this itinerary!
