There are many things I love about living in France, one of which is enjoying the French Apéro.
It embodies so much of what the French are famous for, as it perfectly represents the ability to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
The French culture fascinates me. They have an excellent attitude towards life, especially here in rural France.
They work to live rather than live to work. They take the time to see what’s around them, spend time with their family, and embrace the good things in life.
So let’s dive in and discover all there is to know about that fantastic pastime known as the French Apéro and the history of one of the most famous drinks in France, Pastis.

Narbonne might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of southern France, but it’s one of the oldest settlements in the region and is packed with fascinating history. If you're into Roman ruins, stunning Gothic architecture, and lively markets, Narbonne is a must for your travel list.
Walking through its streets feels like peeling back layers of time. The city is a mix of ancient and medieval wonders, from the ancient Via Domitia, once a major Roman road, to the towering Narbonne Cathedral that dates back to the 13th century.
However, its role as a key Roman port truly put Narbonne on the map. It’s an unforgettable destination where history, culture, and modern life come together in the heart of the Languedoc region.

With 1001 to choose from, how do you pick just five? Well, the Dordogne Valley is called the “Valley of the 5 Chateaux” due to five historical chateaux that gained prominence during the Hundred Years War.
These castles transport you back in time, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and drama of the medieval era. One chateau was home to Richard the Lionheart for a time, another to “The Great Bastard of Savoy,” and another to a famous American-born French entertainer. If only the walls of these castles could talk.
It's like stepping into a real-life fairy tale, from the imposing stone towers to the intricate carvings and tapestries. So, I invite you to join me as we take a trip back into French history and five fabulous chateaux from Medieval France.

One of the many things I love about living in France is discovering the history and stories of the people who lived here centuries ago.
And Sainte Radegonde, born in Thuringia, now part of modern-day Germany, who lived in the 6th century, has a story worth telling.
From being abducted by the Franks at the tender age of eleven and forced into marriage to King Clotaire I to fighting dragons and becoming a nun, her life was no picnic.
But who was the woman behind the story, and why is she still celebrated today as the ‘Protector of Poitiers’?
You’re about to find out as we walk the streets of Poitiers and discover how this city has survived the wars of religion and so much more to become a famous university town that has well and truly stamped its place on the French map.

The role of women in French society has undergone significant changes over time. Historically, women’s roles were largely confined to domestic duties and child-rearing, with limited access to education and professional opportunities.
The French Revolution ignited a conversation about women’s rights, leading to gradual changes. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, women gained the right to vote, access to higher education, and entry into the workforce.
So, I’m looking at the lives of three extraordinary women in French history and telling their stories. Their tales are fascinating and full of endurance and survival against the odds.
They are role models in a way we don’t have in today’s society. Are their names instantly recognisable? I’ll let you be the judge.

As someone who loves the history of France, I did wonder if Carcassonne was going to be worth visiting. Would it live up to my expectations, or would I be disappointed? The hype around this city is huge, and I really didn’t want it to let me down.
It’s one of those stunning medieval cities that is like stepping into the pages of a history book.
You’ll find yourself quickly drawn into its world of intrigue and history. And if you let your imagination take charge, you can almost see the knights of olde standing on the ramparts waiting to do battle.
Well, it certainly wove a spell over me, and today, I'm sharing a little bit of its magic as we take a trip through the 12th-century town on top of the hill.

If you've ever wondered what it is like to live on the French Riviera, then you'll love my interview today with Laura Tobin, an Italian Food Blogger. Where she lives, she has Nice to the East, Antibes to the West, Monaco in the middle and Saint-Tropez just an hour away.
Just like me, Laura is a traveller at heart. She has spent four years in the USA (Connecticut and Miami) and five years in the UK (London), Norway, and France. She speaks four languages fluently: Italian, English, French, and Spanish, and she has counted Roger Moore, yep, the one who played James Bond, as her neighbour.
She has two silky chickens, which aren’t like normal chickens, and she’ll talk to us about her life in the South of France, Italian food, and how to explore the beautiful French Riviera without the crowds.

Bastille Day, or La Fête Nationale, commemorates the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 – a pivotal event that sparked the French Revolution and the fight for liberty, equality, and fraternity.
