Welcome to the small island of Bonaire. 🙂
Have you ever heard about it?
In February, I’ll show you some sunny pictures of this place. 🙂
France – Final impression
I spent lots of time in France and it’s one of the most-explored by me European countries.
And I still like it, and cannot wait to visit France again. 🙂
And, I’m sure, you’ll see France on my blog again, one day, or rather one month.
How did you like my travel impressions in January?
Tomorrow, we’re moving to the warmer place.
Stay tuned. 🙂
France – The Alps
Beautiful snowy mountains in France. 🙂
France – Streets
An example of a “street sign” in France; isn’t it funny? 🙂
France – Rennes
Rennes is a lovely town located in the northwest part of France; the capital of Brittany.
France – Pont du Gard
France – Nîmes and Romans
Nîmes is a town nearby the Mediterranean Sea.
Its history is dating back to the Roman Empire and you still find there some Roman architecture e.g., the Arena of Nîmes.
France – Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc)
Saint Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc) or The Maid of Orléans is a heroine of France, however at the age of 19 she was burned at the stake.
France – Rouen
Rouen (and its cathedral) is maybe the most known from the paintings of Monet.
And I think, it’s a good reason to visit the city. 🙂
I went to Rouen in December, and was a bit surprised by snow, lots of snow… so, I decided to not show you the beautiful Rouen cathedral, but the snowy day. 🙂
France – Strasbourg
Strasbourg is a lovely city located at the boarder with Germany.
It’s also full of storks, at least soft toys. 😉
France – Flag
French flag consist of three vertical bands coloured blue, white, and red.
France – Language
French is of course the official language in France.
If you are able to speak some French, your life in France (plus quite a bit number of other countries) will be much easier! 😉
France – Seafood
If there is “water”, there is also seafood. 😉
France – Ocean
France is surrounded by mountains, seas and Atlantic Ocean; everyone can find something interesting. 🙂
France – Wine
France is obviously famous for wine (e.g., Bordeaux) and sparkling wine (Champagne); red, white and rose.
The price of a bottle doesn’t have to go with its quality, so again, try and enjoy. 😉
France – Cuisine
French cuisine is considered as very delicious.
What are the French dishes that first come to your mind?
-I’d say, baguette, cheese and wine are the most famous French single “products”.
Then, there is lots of sweets, e.g., macaron or creme brûlée.
I fell in love with tarte, both sweet and savoury.
When you go to France, enjoy and celebrate your meals, you’ll find lots of great options.
France – Mont-Saint-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel is an island with a monastery and abbey, located in Normandy.
It’s an amazing place, no wonder it’s listed as the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
When I was a child, my grandmother was telling me about her visit to the Mont-Saint-Michel and since that time I wanted to go there as well.
And I wasn’t disappointed by it at all; it’s stunning and very impressive.
It’s also interesting to visit the Mont-Saint-Michel twice, to experience different tides.
France – Ice Cave
The area nearby Chamonix, with the Mer de Glace glacier I showed you yesterday, has one more attraction – Ice Cave (Grotte de glace). You can take a short walk in a ice cave or kind of ice tunnel.
