3 French regions that stole my heart 🥹🇫🇷🥖 I get it if city vibes are more your thing… then go to Paris. But these places are much more authentic & a heck of a lot cheaper.
Alsace Region – where you can sip local wine for only $4 & explore the most fairytale towns. My friends & I did an e-bike adventure & visited villages like Colmar, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, & more. I wish I had more time to explore! It’s affordable, picturesque, & packed with charming shops, food, & wine 🍷
Loire Valley – the land of castles & wine! From Château de Chenonceau (it sits over water!) to cycling through vineyards, it’s the perfect off-the-beaten-path experience. Stay near Tours for easy access to everything, & don’t miss the Gardens of Villandry. Plus, visit Amboise, where Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years. It’s the most authentic, local way to experience France before heading to Champagne and Paris.
Normandy – just 2 hours from Paris, it’s the perfect weekend getaway. From the cliffs of Étretat to the charming town of Honfleur, Normandy is full of natural beauty and small-town charm. Don’t forget to visit the gardens of Étretat & enjoy a picnic on the beach at sunset 🥹
