Exploring France

Like the GIs in WWII GoNOMAD will be storming the shores of France this April, I hadn’t been to France for a few years till this Sept. It was great to return to a place steeped in culture and history. Floating down the Canal du Midi and staying at the Hotel de Cite in Carcassonne reopened a love affair with France.

Max will be heading to Alsace with its vine covered hillsides, quaint villages and the delicious regional dish of choucroute. Sony will be heading to the region I visited in Sept., the Languedoc. I cannot wait to read her take on Montpellier’s happening scene. I will be checking out the Châteaux’s and vineyards of the Rhone-Alpes region, including the capital of French food, Lyon.
