How time flies and blogs don't get written... sorry about that. We've been snowed under bringing you the best of France. Pre-Christmas and early spring are always very busy for the France team. Christmas deadlines put us under pressure, and then once that is over... it's on to holiday season!
Our March issue is full of inspirational pieces for spring trips over the Channel. From Percheron horse breeders in Le Perche to the wild and wacky Soufflacul festival in Nontron, l’Hexagone is ideal for a trip in March. So whether you’re wandering the streets of Pézenas, or breathing in the sea air in La Rochelle this spring, you’ll be sure to experience a little slice of France’s character wherever you are.
One actor who is used to playing a variety of characters is Jean Reno, who has become a familiar face in both French and Hollywood cinema. He can currently be seen on the silver screen in The Pink Panther 2, and told Pierre De Villiers in an exclusive interview what he really thinks of France and America.
Those who are watching the pennies but who still want to get a dose of French culture this month will love our articles about visiting France on a day trip. They prove that, with a bit of planning and organisation, it is perfectly possible to get there and back in one day thus saving you the cost of an hotel. And speaking of cutting costs, camping is a great way save money. With such fantastic lakeside campsites to be found across France, I hope you’ll be tempted to spend a few nights under canvas this summer. With so many ideas to tempt you over the Channel this spring, I can only ask – what are you waiting for? Book that trip!
A bientot,
Carolyn
