Parc Monceau - The Most Beautiful Park In Paris

Paris has many beautiful parks with this magical city, but to me the best and not oft visited by tourists is the lovely, peaceful and romantic Parc Monceau in the 8th arrondissment. 
It's one of the most beautiful in the city and that's saying a lot.
It's in an upscale residential area and thus you'll see families using it during the day.
There are numerous statues, a large pond with bird life and surrounding the park are sumptuous mansions.

Ploumanach - Brittany - Secret Seaside

For its entire length, the shoreline of Brittany is extravagantly indented, with each successive little inlet concealing another wooded cove or sandy beach. It's at it's most spectacular halfway along the northern coast, in the section known as the Cote de Granit Rose or Pink Granite Coast.

Where granite stone elsewhere in the world looks grim and forbidding, here, weathered into soft dreamlike shapes and glowing with ruddy warmth as the sun goes down, it's positively enchanting.

The best hotel to stay in here, is the L'Agapa in nearby Perros-Guirec.

Burgundy - Dining in the Middle of a Vineyard

In the heart of Burgundy, at the TABLE COMTE SENARD. For those of you who are who are touring the region or thinking to do so, I can recommend, The restaurant, part of the Aloxe-Corton wine estate, is situated about halfway between Beaune and Dijon. It’s managed by two delightful women, the staff is congenial, and the atmosphere is relaxed and casual.

Travelers will love the regional, traditional menu and the superb wines. After getting acquainted with some of the Burgundy vintages at lunch, it’s fun to visit the 13th century cellars. 

The restaurant is only open for lunch from noon until 2 p.m., and closed Sundays and Mondays. The tasting room is open from 10 a.m. to 11:45 and from 2:30 until 6 p.m.

Brittany Art - Parish closes

Brittany’s rural church closes are renowned in France for their charming looks. With their quaint and curious embellishments, they have the power to pull you in, even if you’re not religious. Competition between neighboring parishes could be intense.
The small village of Guimiliau has one of the most spectacular ornamented churchs.

 The Calvary is one of the largest in Brittany and worth a visit.

Provence - Local Wines and a Great Meal - Insiders Tip

In one of my favorite little villages in Provence - Pernes les Fontaines - a town of 39 fountains - just outside the town located within a vineyard is a farm/vineyard and restaurant called Domaine de la Camarette. Their small restaurant has a set-price menu of Euro 32, that includes a feast of fresh farm produce, paired with unlimited glasses of their locally grown wines.

Reservations are a must, as looking at the cars parked and their foreign licence plates, Europe has discovered this quaint spot.
