Your 🆓 & paid guides for France, all in one place.
A little bit more about myself:
I was born in Paris and lived in Lyon for most of my life, I have always loved travelling and got into hiking / road tripping in my home country during the COVId-19 pandemic as travelling out of the country was more difficult and riskier, I got to discover many stunning places I may have never been to without a global pandemic forcing me to visit more of my own country ^^
Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore France's hidden gems & most beautiful locations.
TIP: If you wish to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like Paris, Lyon & Marseille, make sure to use the map feature!
I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the country.

Marseille is a major port town on France's southwestern coast. It's a unique French city that has a vibe all of its own… You might not really feel like you’re in France!
Marseille has been heavily influenced by immigration from Northern Africa & Italy, resulting in a rich and colorful diversity.
Vibrant street art, lots of interesting food, and a little bit of a gritty feel will be the backdrop to your stay here.
Marseille is frequently used by visitors as a home base to hike, enjoy the water, and explore the surrounding towns and natural areas.
I have visited Marseille three times and love this city!

A Weekend in Briançon | Experience Briançon, France like a local
Hi fellow travelers! Thanks for stopping by to check out this guide with over 40 places to check out in the greater Briançon region.
Tucked away in the heart of the giants, the quaint city of Briançon is full of breathtaking mountain views, delicious boulangeries, and tons of outdoor adventure activities for the adrenaline addict in the family.
In this destination guide, you will get a sneak peek into what it's like to live like a local in Briançon. From our favorite restaurants, to various adventure options, this guide has it all. Come along with us as we explore the area with local resident Alexandre, who I had the pleasure of spending a month with. Due to staying with a local, I did not include recommendations of where to stay. There are a variety of options from Hotels, Airbnb's, Gîtes, and camping in the surrounding area. During the high tourist season, places can book up quickly so be sure to make your accommodations in advance.
---
All year round you can find activities to do in Briançon, but peek summer tourist season starts in late June, July, August, early September, and the winter tourist season begins in late December and runs until the end of March. Some activities listed in this guide are seasonal and are not open year round. Always check before booking a trip.
Things to note: Briançon is located part in the valley but is full of hills and steep climbs. This is a very walkable city designed for the outdoor enthusiast, nature lover and sports participant.
This is a live guide and will update as information changes in real time.

I studied abroad in Strasbourg and absolutely fell in love with this beautiful Alsatian city. It's situated just across the river from Germany which makes for a unique blend of French and German culture here in this quaint town. With canals winding through streets of half timbered houses, a gorgeous cathedral in the center of the city, and beautiful parks, it's like a city straight out of a fairytale. Here's some of my favorite places, restaurants and experiences to enjoy in Strasbourg!

Out of all the places I adore in France, Nice and its surrounding areas truly has my heart. This is where I dream of retiring.
You're still very much in France - BUT: The people are noticeably friendlier than in Paris (no shade to Parisians, I love them too), the weather is delightful, the beaches are gorgeous, and the food has a lighter, Mediterranean flair (as opposed to the heavy dairy-based recipes typical in much of France).
If 6 days sounds like a lot to you, never fear: This itinerary uses Nice as a home base and includes many day-trip options.
Guide includes:
📍 High Level Plan
✨ General Tips
🍅 7 Food & Drinks Not to Miss
🧼 7 Souvenir or Gift Ideas
🍴 10 restaurant/bar recs in Nice (5 cheaper, 3 mid-range, 2 higher end)
🗒️ 6-day Itinerary: 3 days in Nice (including arrival & departure days, and 1 full-day in Nice with two morning options & 2 afternoon options), and 3 days for half-day trips, full-day trips, or a free day*
🗺️ 7 additional options for your half or full-day trips from Nice or for your free day
💚 Pro Tips
*I suggest 1 full-day trip, 1 day split between 2 half-day trips, and 1 day of free time. These do not overlap with the 7 additional options for half and full-day trips,
