France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

Tour de France - Dates Where Hotels Will be Impossible to Get Rooms
I want to let you know that this year the route of the Tour de France visits some of the most popular places in France. You may want to keep this in mind when booking a France stay. Accommodations will be very hard to find (seriously, almost impossible) and driving in these areas during the Tour will be horrific. Here are the dates and places to be aware of:
July 2: Nice
July 3: Marseille
July 4: Aix en Provence
July 10: Mont St. Michel
July 11 &
July 12: The city of Tours in the Loire Valley
The finale is July 21 when the cyclists all arrive in Paris.
