Grand Canyon of Europe: Gorges du Verdon

The Grand Canyon of Europe. The only tagline I needed to convince me that visiting the Gorges du Verdon should be on my list of must-see places. Last September I traveled to the Provence with my work colleagues, for a challenge of climbing the Mont Ventoux. But since that trip only lasted a couple of…

Two days of biking fun around the Mont Ventoux

I'm always up for an athletic challenge, as you may have noticed already. And if that challenge takes place abroad, you can definitely count me in. And that's how I ended up on top of the Mont Ventoux, by bike. To raise money for cancer research, a committee at work 'Move4Cancer' challenges the employees each…

What to do on a non-skiing holiday in the French Alps? – part 2

Yes, people do go on a winter holiday without skiing. Or snowboarding. The snowy landscapes aren't just reserved for those typical winter sport activities. Although we have found out that, in certain areas and places, you definitely are the odd one out if you're not engaging in those activities. But that didn't stop us from…

What to do on a non-skiing holiday in the French Alps? – part 1

While many, many bloggers are way more well-traveled than I am, I'm still pretty satisfied with the amount of places I've already been able to scratch off my travel bucket-list. There of course are still a ton of destinations on that list, but this time around the actual destination wasn't a thing I was ticking…

A royal celebration of my aging in Paris

It's official; I've kicked off the last year of my twenties! Thirty is looming, oh my oh my. But that's still an entire year away. First, it was time to celebrate twenty-nine! And is there a better way to spent a birthday than abroad? I don't think so! It's a rule for me not to…

Tackling two mountain passes and Lourdes in the French Pyrenees

Our trip through the North of Spain sadly ended after we finished our hike through the Ordesa valley, but it wasn't the complete end of our roadtrip. We still had to drive back home and for that, we had to cross the Pyrenees. Oh beautiful mountains, I can't just drive past you, can I? Late…

A quick trip along the Cote d’Azur

September has come and gone again, but definitely not without me exploring a bit of the world, as per usual! No travel in September is a big no go in my book! Ha! It’s tradition by now! Those following my Facebook page have already had an insight in my whereabouts the past couple of weeks,…

By bike through the Gorges du Tarn to Point Sublime

A beautiful, crisp September morning in the south of France. Yesterday’s storm had long passed, the sun was already making her presence known but the warmth of the day hadn’t arrived yet. And we, we were putting on our cycling outfit. Ready to discover the beautiful canyons that were surrounding us. Deep in the Tarn…

Stormchasing in La Cité des Pierres – Montpellier-le-Vieux

While we didn't have an exact itinerary for our roadtrip through France last September, there were of course a few places that we had in mind as a direction. The area around the Gorges du Tarn and the Gorges de la Jonte was one of those places. After a little - but not bad at…

Overnight stop in the Ardeche region to escape the heat

Completely satisfied, but also with a serious case of jello-legs, I got in the car to further our travels into France. Our time in the gorgeous Vercors Massif was over. Bummer! But no time -and reason- to sulk for long; new adventures awaited! The next region that we wanted to explore was the Cevennes. From…
