We checked into La Figuière, a Mediterranean villa estate surrounded by olive, fig, and lemon trees, with gardens just as full as Monet's.

The past week has been spent up high among hillside towns or down below winding through rolling greens — so today, we say goodbye to Provence with giant gleeful grins.

A magical place to start and end the day, to work from overlooking the countryside from our bedroom’s window — or even cancel an entire day’s plans to laze by the pool.

The past three days exploring the Bordeaux region has been overwhelmingly beautiful.

Sleep in a chateau: ✔️

The perfect introduction to the French countryside by way of the Loire Valley, home to Château de Chenonceau.

Our first home away from home over the next few months has been nothing but a dream.

Au revoir, Paris! Now off to explore the French countryside.

A day trip to the marvellous Palace of Versailles, France.

A day trip from Paris to the house and gardens of Claude Monet in Giverny, France.

Parks of Paris (the best remedy for pending panic attacks from crowds).

The charming former artists' hilltop village of Montmartre was mighty busy but mighty beautiful.

Spending the day hunting for treasures at the Saint Ouen Flea Market, Paris.

Already worth the two-year wait and only 48 hours in.

Luckily, what I came to discover is that I really didn't have to try too hard; Copenhagen was naturally charming, easy on the eye, and the type of place you fall for, rather quickly.

When there is so much to see in a city, so much becomes unknown, and so when discovery can befall at a moment’s notice, every new day is bound to be vastly different from the next.

As we arrived in New Orleans, I couldn't help but notice the certain twinkle sprinkled around its historic streets. The very first moment I stepped foot along the French Quarter, it felt as though I had been teleported to a charming European town of yesteryear.
