48 hours along the Loue
In the 1960s - which could easily be called, to parody the United States from 1920 to 1929, the "roaring sixties" - we glorified the car as much as the well-watered picnic. -we glorified the car as much as we did drunken picnics. All of which made excellent Frenchmen, road deaths were indecent, and when you passed through the Arbois region, you couldn't miss the large signs displayed by a leading local wine merchant proclaiming, with a drawing of a car about to swerve: "Les vins H..., plus on en boit, plus on va droit." (H wines: the more you drink of them, the straighter you go).

Chablis. Oenophiles raise their glasses, gourmands reach for their spits to catch the andouillette spinning on the rotisserie. The mere mention of the name Chablis makes mouths water all over France. And from Quimper to Menton, it's hard to remain indifferent when a restaurant menu reads: "andouillette à la chablisienne".2023

48 hours in Beaune
The Burgundy town has survived the centuries without losing its charm or identity. A prosperous little town, the mere mention of which is the stuff of dreams for wine lovers the world over, it floats like an island in the heart of an ocean of poetically-named plots. Outside the walls, it's wine tourism at its best. Intramuros is all about weaving your way between wine merchants and wine bars to reach the Holy Grail: the Hospices de Beaune, temple of charity, cradle of Gothic architecture and scene of crazy auctions.

48 hours in Puisaye
France is vast and beautiful, every region has its own identity, and almost every département has its own secret corner, still more or less untouched by tourism - thanks to the grace of the main roads that avoid it, its distance from urban centers, its apparent lack of appeal. Occasionally, light is shed by a distant voice, a look, words that have described and told a simple story. Pays de Caux has Maupassant, Berry has George Sand and Puisaye has Colette.2022
