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.

France's favorite village of the year - St Vaast La Hougue - Normandy
Every year viewers of the French TV show - Beautiful Villages vote for their favorite French Village. This year the tiny village on the stunning coastal area in Normandy known as the Cotentin Peninsula won the votes. This area is in fact one of my favorites in Normandy.
Its described as a land of sailors and at low tide, the oyster beds provide a link between the French mainland and another jewel: the island of Tatihou, a unique point of view for painters for more than 200 years. The harbor and the picturesque narrow street make this a wondrous place to visit.
I love the many charming and 'knock-your-socks-off' villages on this peninsula.
Here is a video ( sorry its in French) but you'l get the idea of the winner.
