France

Ah, the sunny south of France! Pastel colored buildings, cobblestone streets, sandy beaches and perfectly blue water… is there anything more romantic than the thought of spending a summer in Saint Tropez on the Cote d’Azur?! We certainly don’t think so. It only took one visit to Saint Tropez last summer for us to fall completely in love with this little slice of paradise…

We partnered with ACP Rail to travel through Europe for 6 weeks on the Eurail Pass, and it was such a fun experience to see Europe by train. Growing up in America, train travel was really a novelty to us…

We finished our time in Cannes and drove back to one of our new favorite places in the world- St. Tropez! We'd only been away for 3 days but couldn't wait to get back and spend a few days at Hôtel Byblos- one of the most iconic hotels on the Côte d'Azur…

Famously known for they annual film festival, Cannes is a bustling city on France's southern coast and a must-see for any Côte d'Azur itinerary. Since St. Tropez has no train station, we rented a car and drove along the ocean to get to Cannes…

Our first stop on the coast was St. Tropez and the luxurious 5-star Villa Marie, and there couldn't have been a more perfect welcome to the sunny south of France! Villa Marie is part of a family-owned brand of hotels with locations scattered across some of the most beautiful parts of France…

Our first stop on the trip brought us to Paris - the city of love, the city of light, whatever it's referred to. Doesn't matter, because it is ALL of those things! We fell head-over-heals in love and cannot wait to come back…
