Loulabelle's FrancoFiles Ep 79 - French friends, festivals & La Fleuriste... France après Covid.

That trip included a visit to Paris, followed by a roadtrip to Provence. On our more recent trip to France in the French summer of 2022 we went on an epic road trip after another Paris stay. This podcast chat is part 1 of a two episode sequence, as there is just too much to fit into one episode! In this part 1 we’re exploring our arrival and stay in Paris pre our roadtrip, as well as our wonderful experiences that followed in the Loire Valley and down in the Pays Basque. Tune in for our tips on travelling in France in extreme heat, accommodation musts and experiencing Paris like a local. We also chat about train travel to the regions, the gorgeousness of the Loire and Pays Basque... and the surprises that pop up along the way (like a potential house purchase!)**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website
