Discovering France is so much more than just seein

Discovering France is so much more than just seeing Paris… As someone who called Paris home for many years, my favorite parts of France are outside of the cityscape. France is full of charming towns, beautiful beaches, natural wonders, rich history & world-renowned gastronomy & wine.

If you’re planning a trip to France, tag on one of these destinations ⬇️

🛶 Swim, hike & kayak in Gatorade blue water at the Gorges du Verdon
🪻 Frolick through the fleeting lavender fields in Valensole during mid-June to early July
🏰 Travel back in time wandering the streets & botanical gardens of Èze
🌈 Enjoy a beach day at the most colorful town in France next to the Italian border, Menton
🧺 Stay at a chateau and get inspired at Monet’s gardens and studio in Giverny
🛥️ Rent a boat and cruise to the turquoise blue billionaire’s bay in Antibes
🍷 Taste some of the best wine in France & explore the cute village of Saint-Èmilion
📸 Take in the views of France’s most beautiful village in Provence & shop the fabulous local market every Tuesday during season in Gordes

One of the few vacation spots in Italy you’ll see both Italians & tourists enjoying their beach holiday ✨ Puglia is certainly climbing the radar, but corners of this region remain hidden gems (and it’s absolutely not as busy as Italy’s Amalfi Coast!)

Mini travel guide to Rome with iconic must-sees, h

Mini travel guide to Rome with iconic must-sees, hidden gems, unforgettable food, cool shopping, and boutique luxury stays. It’s perfect for someone who wants the full Roman holiday without feeling like a tourist 24/7 ⬇️

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS ⬇️

✨The Colosseum: Go early, go with a guide, and get the underground tour if you can. Imagining gladiators from the bowels of the arena hits differently.

✨Pantheon: It’s free and stunning. Look up and just… marvel.

✨Roman Forum + Palatine Hill: Feels like time traveling. Also—gorgeous views.

✨Trevi Fountain: Go very early in the morning to beat the crowds and toss your coin in peace.

➡️ Pro Tip: Buy a Roma Pass to skip some lines and get metro access.

BUCKET-LIST EATS ⬇️

✨ Carbonara at Roscioli: Life-changing. A deli-meets-restaurant with personality.

✨ Cacio e Pepe at Felice a Testaccio: They toss it at the table. Don’t even think about skipping it.

✨ Pizza al taglio at Bonci (near Vatican): Gourmet, Roman-style by the slice.

✨ Trapizzino: Street food royalty. Think pizza-pocket meets slow-cooked stew.

➡️ Gelato tip: Go natural. Try Gelateria del Teatro or Otaleg. Avoid anything neon-colored

WHERE TO STAY ⬇️

✨ Hotel Vilòn: Tucked near the Spanish Steps. Intimate, artful, and super chic.
✨ Palazzo Manfredi: Breakfast with a Colosseum view. Enough said.
✨ Chapter Roma: Bold design, industrial-cool vibes, and a great bar scene.
✨ Portrait Roma: For designer lovers—this place is owned by the Ferragamo family.

BEST SHOPPING SPOTS ⬇️

✨ Via del Governo Vecchio: Vintage boutiques, indie labels, and character.

✨ Monti: Rome’s coolest hood for handcrafted goods, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and indie Italian designers.

✨ Galleria Alberto Sordi: Glamorous 1920s shopping arcade with a mix of high street and luxe.

✨ Campo de’ Fiori Market (morning): Great for foodie souvenirs—think truffle oil, dried pasta, spices.

QUICK TIPS ⬇️

✨ Don’t over-schedule. Rome is best enjoyed slowly—with a spritz.

✨Use your feet: This city is a living museum.

✨Aperitivo o’clock is sacred: Head to The Court or Cielo for pre-dinner cocktails with a view
