La piccola "Venezia"

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! 🧳

Hello fellow traveler! Thank you for choosing my shop to help you have a fantastic day in Colmar, France. This is the town Beauty and Beast was based on. It's a very picturesque city, especially with its colorful buildings. This is a great spot to stay to break up the long train ride to Amsterdam. This board is how I spent one day in this town! I recommend listening to the podcast episodes attached to this guide to hear my thoughts about Colmar. You can email me any feedback regarding my itinerary or if you want to connect! Please be safe on your travels and tag Ma I'm Fine in your adventures! xoxo Lex CONNECT Email | contact@maimfine.com . Instagram | @ma.im.fine . Youtube.Pinterest.Twitter | @maimfine
