The Perfect Day Trip to Saint-Emilion
Saint-Émilion is a medieval wine-village located a 45-minute drive away from the city Bordeaux in France. Some of the best wines in the world are produced in Saint-Émilion and it’s one of the largest wine regions in Bordeaux. But even if you don’t consider yourself a wine connoisseur you should put Saint-Émilion at the top of your bucket list for France.
Stunning architecture and world-famous wine!
Exquisite architecture, fresh seafood, a vibrant city with a historic core, and some of the best wine in the world—in a nutshell, this is Bordeaux, France. Even better, the whole city is highly walkable, with pedestrian-only areas and welcoming squares. In less than an hour, you can also visit the beach or make your way to castle-like chateaux producing superb wine in fairy tale settings.

Elegant, historic and sophisticated!
Anything about Paris is romantic, it’s a poem. Its buildings, its bridges, a river cruise, its alleys, croissants… Everything is perfect, harmonious. You can sit in a park watching what’s around you and get lost in a whirlwind of emotions. From its bustling river banks, the beauty and charm of its architecture, the delicious food, countless opportunities to explore art, culture, and history—the reasons I love Paris are as diverse as the city itself.
It’s not just about the fast cars or a rich lifestyle!
The French Riviera is not just about life in the fast lane. It has so much more to offer if you step outside your comfort zone!
What a pleasant surprise!
The aim of my 3-day trip to the southeast of France was always going to be Monaco. However, since I had to drive right past Nice, I could not refuse the tantalising ‘invitation’ to make a quick stopover here.
Strike action doesn’t ruin my plans!
A general strike against pension reforms in France led to an almost two-hour delay to my flight to Marseille in France. As usual, I rented a car, but to make matters worse and delay my plans even further, it took me some time to find the car hire office. Eventually, I did, and after settling the paperwork, I drove straight to the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde.
