Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne 🇫🇷 Summer may be over, but make sure to bookmark Dordogne for future travels. Perfect for medieval villages, truffle markets, and golden-stone streets straight out of a fairy tale. My tip would be to base yourself in Sarlat-la-Canéda — the jewel of the Dordogne — and explore this impossibly charming corner of southwest France. Here’s your hit list: -Wander Sarlat’s Old Town — cobbled lanes, honey-hued façades, and endless photo ops. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint-Sacerdos and the Viewpoint from the Ascenseur Panoramique. -Shop & Snack at the Sarlat Market — Saturdays and Wednesdays are foodie heaven. Local foie gras, walnut cakes, and black truffles everywhere. -Canoe the Dordogne River — paddle past castles and cliffside villages like La Roque-Gageac and Beynac-et-Cazenac. -Château Hopping — explore the romantic Château de Beynac, the imposing Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, and the extraordinary Château des Milandes, once home to the icon Josephine Baker. -Step Back in Time at Lascaux IV — see the world-famous prehistoric cave art recreated in spellbinding detail. -Picnic in Marqueyssac Gardens — these sculpted boxwood gardens with sweeping valley views are pure magic at golden hour. -Sip Dordogne Wines — head to nearby Bergerac or Pécharmant for easy day-trip tastings. 💫 Stay a few nights, eat everything, and let Sarlat’s medieval glow work its slow mag Visit France | Sarlat La caneda | Dordogne France | perigord | things to do in Dordogne | France travel

A short guide to Annecy, France. While the full guide is still in the works (will be ready for next spring) here’s a short guide to the Alpine town, straight from my notes from this summer. Here’s how to do the “Pearl of the French Alps” in style: Top Things to Do 1. Stroll the Vieille Ville – cobbled lanes, pastel façades, canals 2. Lake Annecy – swim, sail, or cycle the turquoise shoreline. 3. Château d’Annecy – castle-turned-museum with serious views. 4. Pont des Amours – the “Lovers’ Bridge” is prime photo op territory. 5. Cheese stop at Fromagerie Pierre Gay – legendary Savoyard flavors to take home (or devour on the spot). 🍴 Where to Eat Bloomer – chic café for brunch or dinner Galopin – cozy spot with natural wines & small plates. Mazette – bistro vibes, fresh local produce. Midget – tiny but mighty for inventive French dining and wine 🛏 Where to Stay Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town. Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core. #annecy #annecylake #annecyfrance #savoietourisme #visitfrance #francetravel #lakeannecy #bonjourfrance #francetravelguide #cntraveler #tlpicks #roamandthrive #alpscape

Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne 🇫🇷 Summer may be over, but make sure to bookmark Dordogne for future travels. Perfect for medieval villages, truffle markets, and golden-stone streets straight out of a fairy tale. My tip would be to base yourself in Sarlat-la-Canéda — the jewel of the Dordogne — and explore this impossibly charming corner of southwest France. Here’s your hit list: -Wander Sarlat’s Old Town — cobbled lanes, honey-hued façades, and endless photo ops. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint-Sacerdos and the Viewpoint from the Ascenseur Panoramique. -Shop & Snack at the Sarlat Market — Saturdays and Wednesdays are foodie heaven. Local foie gras, walnut cakes, and black truffles everywhere. -Canoe the Dordogne River — paddle past castles and cliffside villages like La Roque-Gageac and Beynac-et-Cazenac. -Château Hopping — explore the romantic Château de Beynac, the imposing Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, and the extraordinary Château des Milandes, once home to the icon Josephine Baker. -Step Back in Time at Lascaux IV — see the world-famous prehistoric cave art recreated in spellbinding detail. -Picnic in Marqueyssac Gardens — these sculpted boxwood gardens with sweeping valley views are pure magic at golden hour. -Sip Dordogne Wines — head to nearby Bergerac or Pécharmant for easy day-trip tastings. 💫 Stay a few nights, eat everything, and let Sarlat’s medieval glow work its slow mag Visit France | Sarlat La caneda | Dordogne France | perigord | things to do in Dordogne | France travel

A short guide to Annecy, France. While the full guide is still in the works (will be ready for next spring) here’s a short guide to the Alpine town, straight from my notes from this summer. Here’s how to do the “Pearl of the French Alps” in style: Top Things to Do 1. Stroll the Vieille Ville – cobbled lanes, pastel façades, canals 2. Lake Annecy – swim, sail, or cycle the turquoise shoreline. 3. Château d’Annecy – castle-turned-museum with serious views. 4. Pont des Amours – the “Lovers’ Bridge” is prime photo op territory. 5. Cheese stop at Fromagerie Pierre Gay – legendary Savoyard flavors to take home (or devour on the spot). 🍴 Where to Eat Bloomer – chic café for brunch or dinner Galopin – cozy spot with natural wines & small plates. Mazette – bistro vibes, fresh local produce. Midget – tiny but mighty for inventive French dining and wine 🛏 Where to Stay Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town. Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core. #annecy #annecylake #annecyfrance #savoietourisme #visitfrance #francetravel #lakeannecy #bonjourfrance #francetravelguide #cntraveler #tlpicks #roamandthrive #alpscape
