France
still is the undisputed number one tourist destination on the planet.
France is famous for its architecture, art, Alps, cuisine, fashion,
literature, wine, etc.
We
have visited France 9 times together and a couple of times individually.
Totally, we have spent more than 6 months each travelling around France.
Nevertheless, we have typically stayed for longer periods of time (1-3
weeks) in the same city/village in our family camping wagon and done
several side trips to nearby towns, nature sites and attractions. In
addition, we have done some inter-railing and bus-trips around France on
our own.
Eventually
we will post pictures and some text on our traveling in France; however
destinations outside Europe deserve our foremost interest.
Some well-known places of interest we have visited
Paris,
Orléan, Royan, La Rochelle, Rocamadour, Versailles, Strasbourg,
Dordogne and Toulouse.
More unknown places of interest we have visited
Peronne,
Chartres, La Charriere, Amboise, Whir-au-Wal, Bolis, Montargis, Eclaron, Lac
Blanc, Ile d’Oléron, Carlucet and Souillac.

Future places to go in France
We
will probably go to mainland France every once in a while, especially
because two of our childhood-friends have moved to France permanently (Sune
and Troels). Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea is also a place we want to go.
In
addition, we would both like to visit all of France’s oversea
territories and departments:
·
Guadeloupe
·
Martinique
·
French Guiana
·
Reunion
·
New Caledonia
·
Wallis and Futuna
·
Mayotte
·
St. Pierre and Miquelon
·
And – ultimately - Kerguelen
