48 hours between Aix-les-Bains and Le Bourget-du-Lac
Time has stood still: two centuries after Lamartine published his most famous poem, Lac du Bourget displays the same mysterious charm of its deep, dark waters, its light, its atmosphere and its rituals: "One evening, do you remember? we sailed in silence; Only the sound of the oarsmen could be heard in the distance, on the wave and under the skies, striking in cadence Your harmonious waves."

48 hours in and around Roanne
Roanne, N7... Before 1970, a time that no one under sixty can even imagine. Vacations in the South passed through Roanne, the A6 freeway had not yet been completed, the whole of northern France joined the N7 and Parisians, at Montargis, Briare, Nemours, whether you came from Brittany, Normandy, Lille or Reims. The stream of travelers took the royal road sung by Trenet, passing through Nevers, Moulins and then Roanne..2025

48 hours in Valence
"If you're not happy, just go and eat at Pic's!" mothers used to say in Valence to their children who were reluctant to finish their plates. Perhaps they're still saying it, so much so that this house is so much a part of the lives of the people of Valence, even if they've never set foot there.2024

3 days in Montélimar
For many years, Montélimar was a popular stop-off point on the vacation route. Before the 1970s, when the town was bypassed by the freeway, people took the famous N7 road, and families travelling from the north often stopped off in Montélimar. But not only that: Montélimar, with its architecture and perfumes, was quite simply the gateway to Provence.

48 hours in Chamonix
Megève, Saint-Moritz, Montgenèvre, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc... the birthplace of winter sports remains uncertain. What is certain is that Chamonix played a major role in the conquest of uncharted peaks and the democratization of skiing. A legendary past that today blends with a more contemporary vision of the art of mountain living.2023

3 days in Drôme provençale
Some summer days, heat is a color. The sun crashes down on the ochre stone and bounces off the intense lavender sky. The Drôme provençale is not quite Provence, but it already heralds the sinuous Baronnies and the dense Luberon. Between the Rhône and the hills, the villages are wells of inspiration for painters and poets, watched over in the distance by the muted shadow of Mont Ventoux.
