A little re(el)-cap of our springtime visit to Keukenhof, also known as “The Garden of Europe”, and one of the largest flower gardens in the world. Since it’s only open about 8 weeks out of the year, hoards of people come to see the blooming beauties. Learn about our experience dealing with the crowds (and what I’d do differently) in my latest blog post (link in bio). Just reason #247 why Spring is my favorite season of the year.

More information about this urban park and their transient pink beauties can be found on my latest blog post (link in bio). Exploring 2 new Loire Valley châteaux - The Château Royal de Blois and the Château de Chaumont-Sur-Loire, both filled with fascinating history and royal intrigue. Find out more on my latest blog post. Link in bio. The French Riviera is not just sunbathing on a beach or partying on a yacht. There’s also lots of hiking and golden coastal drives. Find out more on my latest blog post (link in bio) These little golden harbingers of spring bring me such joy ☺️ Even in the winter, the Villa & Gardens of Ephrussi de Rothschild is a beautiful place to explore. Find out more on my latest blog post (link in bio). I’ve always associated mimosas with the orange bubbly cocktail, but during this time in France, mimosas take on a different meaning - they’re beautiful flowers signaling the imminent arrival of spring. Find out where in France you can see a forest of these beautiful flowers on my latest blog post (link in bio). At one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, who needs a filter? Find out more about what makes Crater Lake so unique in my latest blog post (link in bio).
