This month, I take a look at some wild plants in Toulouse and learn tips for an encounter with a mountain shepherd dog in the Coup de Coeur!

The world will be watching Paris, and France, as the Olympic Games unfold and we have a special video to let you in on the atmosphere in the French capital.

We’ve created a handy video guide on what to expect from our interactive Stories. Plus we take a look at etiquette at the table in France…

As summer approaches, I reminisce about sunny days by the pool at Château Fabriges and the vibrant streets of Toulouse. Don’t miss my latest video diary and stay tuned for exciting stories and a chance to win a luxurious trip to Paris!

This month’s video diary is provided by none other than magazine Editor, Justin Postlethwaite – He kept the promise he made during our live event! We also bring you our new app so you can read the magazine on the go…

Despite the grey and rainy weather, I’ve had quite a few adventures, indulging in delightful meals, exploring a new brocante and learning about the D-Day landings and William the Conqueror’s ship.

Travellers to France this year have picked a great time to come because there are so many celebrations and incredible events to look forward to and Paris is going to be the place to be for many of those.

While I love a good snowy landscape, I’m definitely more of a summer person and I’m craving the warmth of the sun. I’ve particularly loved the stories we’ve featured lately, including the stunning Terrasses du Larzac and cycling in the Riviera.

I’ve been abroad for most of the month for work so I’ve been missing France dearly. Being away from home makes you realise what you take for granted in your daily routine and, it may sound cliché, but I really do miss the bakeries!

With a roadtrip in mind, I thought I’d check out this vintage, foldable caravan that turned out to be a French icon! Another champion of French authenticity is Xavier Denamur, Parisian bistro owner. His fascinating interview got me craving for a weekend in Paris spent watching the world go by from a real café parisien.

As much as I’ve enjoyed summer, I’m also looking forward to the cosiness of autumn. As the nights draw in I’ll be making the most of our library of Stories and Videos as well as flicking through the Magazine with a cup of tea or perhaps a glass of wine in hand, and I strongly suggest you do the same!
