One of the best ways to see Paris’ bridges is on a Seine River Cruise. Not only do you get to sail under the bridges, but you also get close enough to look at any interesting features, some of which can only be seen from the water.

Enjoy the Romance of Paris on a Seine Dinner Cruise
Paris, the city of Romance: An essential part of any holiday in Paris is a cruise on the Seine River.

Arles, a bastion of Provencal tradition and culture
Once dubbed The Little Rome in Gaul, Arles was a popular city with Van Gogh and others: When you arrive in Arles, it quickly becomes clear that Van Gogh lived here for a while, although sadly the town folks didn’t show him much appreciation at the time. Things are quite different today, of course. All […]
The Camargue, where cowboys still roam the land…
France’s Wild Wild West: The Camargue is an interesting region in the South of France, very much like its own separate little country.

St-Paul de Vence | Provence – France

If, like me, you can’t paint to save your life, then the next best thing to do to try and capture […]
Monte Carlo – Monaco
From Grand Casino to Grand Prix to Tour de France: First it was the Grand Casino that brought the wealthy to Monte Carlo, then it was the Monaco Grand Prix, and now it is the Tour de France. The tour peddles off from one of the smallest countries in Europe, covering only 195 hectares of […]
