Having a holiday in September in France certainly has its advantages.
The weather is practically perfect. The wine is super cheap and doesn’t give you a headache. The cheese is pretty damn good. The architecture is top notch. The chocolate is divine. The people are lovely (mostly) and there’s no lack of things to do and see. Did I mention the cheese?
The first time I went to France I detailed what we did everyday. I kept a diary of sorts so that I wouldn’t forget anything and the good news is that I really didn’t forget anything which made my second trip far more relaxed. We spent nearly all of our time with family in Paris, Puyavault (near La Rochelle) and Hauville (near Normandy). In between Puyavault and Hauville we had three days to ourselves driving to tiny beautiful villages to visit castles and abbeys.
Over the next few days I’ll briefly detail our trip…in small digestible bits. We had an incredible, fun, and exhausting trip but we’re thrilled to be back home in NZ!
