If you’re looking for charm and luxury in one plac If you’re looking for charm and luxury in one place, Antibes is hard to beat. The old town has pedestrian streets full of cafés and small shops, with some houses covered in greenery and flowers that give it a really charming feel. 

Right next to it, there’s a sandy beach — perfect for a quick break. 

And just around the corner, the marina is filled with yachts that could easily belong in Monaco.

Visited the beautiful town Colmar during a day tri Visited the beautiful town Colmar during a day trip. Spent most of the time in the old town and Petite Venise, which was the highlight. It was a bit rushed so next time I’d spent a full day to explore the town beyond the main streets.

When in Strasbourg… you have to try tarte flambée! When in Strasbourg… you have to try tarte flambée! 🇫🇷🔥

It’s a traditional dish from the Alsace region and of course I couldn’t leave without giving it a go. I went for the classic one with ham. Not bad at all, but honestly, it didn’t blow me away. Maybe I picked the wrong kind?

It’s quieter and more laid-back than Nice, with fewer tourists and a charming old town full of narrow alleys and faded yellow buildings.

Everything feels a bit slower here, in a good way. Still, it’s close to Italy, Monaco and Nice if you want to explore more.
