Ever wondered how a solo trip can transform your life? Join me as I take you through my three-week adventure across France in this episode of Global Journeys with Jill Dutton. From navigating the bustling streets of Paris to the peaceful countryside near Agen, exploring the rich history of Bordeaux, immersing myself in the culture of Narbonne, and enjoying a serene barge cruise along the Canal du Midi, this trip was a transformative experience.  I share how every step of the journey has sculpted my passion for culture, cuisine, and writing. Discover the meticulous planning that turned this solo trip into a tapestry of vivid experiences and practical travel insights.
