Bonjour!

With Spring Comes Lavender

The food, the wine, the atmosphere – there’s so much to love about this beautiful French region.  Spring is a lovely season to spend in Provence, enjoying the abundant sun without the sting of the summer heat.  One of the best reasons to visit Provence in the spring is that it’s when the brilliant fields of lavender are in full bloom. Although the lavender season stretches from June to August, the best time to enjoy the magnificent 2 feet tall, purple lavender in full bloom is mid-June to mid-July. Watching the rolling fields of brilliant lavender sway in the warm, pleasant spring breezes is an incredible sight everyone should experience.

 

5 Reasons to Cycle Normandy

Normandy is most widely known for the role it had in shaping the world’s future during the Second World War. From the beaches troops first arrived on to the buildings that were destroyed during battle, every sight is moving and significant. Normandy not only offers an abundance of history, but it also contains stunning castles and museums in quaint towns throughout the department, including Mont St. Michel. Around every corner is something new to boast about. Read more about why no one should pass up the opportunity to cycle through Normandy.
