France Guide
Travels in France
Certainly France is far more than Paris, and I’ve relished my experiences throughout the country. Since moving to Paris in 2015, I’ve visited every French region, some multiple times. This interactive map is by no means a complete list of my French travels, but it’s a very good representation. For a better look, simply double click on the map to zoom in, hover over a pin for the town name, and click and drag your mouse to explore other parts of France.
I’m a total hotel geek. There’s not much more I adore than checking into a new hotel. I examine the toiletries, inspect the linens, and investigate the amenities. I’ve lost count of the number of hotels I’ve slept in or toured since starting this site in 2011, but it’s likely close to 500. Every hotel listed on this page is one that I absolutely recommend. Either I’ve spent the night in the hotel or I’ve spent a significant amount of time in its restaurants, spa, or bar. My recommendations are based on personal experience. In addition, some of these links are affiliate, meaning I make a small commission, with no additional cost to you. This helps keep me stocked in French wine, as well as a roof over my head.
