Recently I spent a couple of months in France, road-tripping through gorgeous historic villages, passing majestic châteaux, immersing in village markets bursting with brocante and eating my way through the special dishes from a variety of regions! This podcast episode follows my journey with my friend Trudy Walker as we travelled from Normandy westwards, to a couple of plus-beaux-villages-de-France in the Pays de la Loire, then turned back to the east and headed to Burgundy before going through the Champagne region on the way back to Paris.

Tune in to hear Trudy and I chat about the pockets of magic we discovered, the adventures and special events we booked, like a motorbike and side-car trip through the vines of Burgundy. We discussed staying with locals as well as times when we stayed in airbnbs or chambre d'hôtes. We also share some great tips for planning or survivng a French roadtrip! 

Join us for lots of laughs and beautiful recollections of a roadtrip that has created some marvellous lifetime memories. If you're wanting assistance for planning your own French roadtrip, book an hour with Loulabelle wherever you are in the world via the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles website.
