    France

    July 12, 2015 in France ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    I try to mix posh/trash trips and finally came the time to change trekking shoes for high heels and silk dresses - we headed to discover unknown (at least among Russians) part of France: Alsace, Champagne, Normandie and Bretagne.
    Small flowery towns - Colmar and Kaisersberg, where real soul of Old France still has remained, houses in fachwerk style, blooming Giverny, where I finally visited the villa of my adorable Monet (I would also became a painter if I lived in such a place 😂)
    Posh Dinard, where we stayed for a week on Atlantics - place where high level French bourgeois spend their holidays.
    And, finally, Nante - it was impossible to miss the native city of the hero of my childhood - Jule Vernes
    What can I say it's absolutely different France.
    With a lot of stereotypes ruined and if Paris demanded 5 times visit to love it, those regions immediately conquered my heart.
    Especially Rouen! Very old and beatiful city with such a magic atmosphere.
    City where I felt I am ready to love again....
