Alsace through the seasons 🌿

In spring, Colmar comes alive with its Easter markets and Easter Festival, with concerts held in churches and heritage sites across the town 🌸. The vines begin to bud, while white asparagus returns to local tables, fresh from producers in the Ried.

Summer is the perfect time for hiking in the Vosges, exploring hilltop castles and cycling along the Alsace W**e Route 🚶‍♀️. It is also a chance to discover hop fields and learn more about the region’s local brewing traditions 🍺.

In autumn, the vineyards turn shades of gold and copper 🍇. Harvest season, fresh sauerkraut and tastings with independent brewers bring a different rhythm to the region.

And then there is winter, of course. But Alsace is much more than its Christmas markets ❄️.

It is a region to experience all year round, at a slower pace and closer to local life.

What does slow travel look like with a family?

Sometimes, it simply means giving yourselves time.

Time to cycle across the Aubrac plateau, walk along old transhumance paths, stop for a picnic overlooking the countryside and discover how Laguiole cheese is made.

But most importantly, time to meet the people who shape this territory.

During his family stay in Aubrac, Simon had the opportunity to stay with a local farmer and join him as the herd made its way to the summer pastures.

For the children, it meant observing, asking questions and experiencing rural life from up close. For the whole family, it was a chance to understand the territory through the people who live and work there.

No need to fill every day with activities.

Walk. Cycle. Taste. Meet. And leave some room for the unexpected.

That is also what travelling less but better means to us.

Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, where land meets sea 🌊

The light changes with the tides in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Overlooking one of France’s most remarkable coastal landscapes, this historic town invites visitors to slow down between cobbled streets, fishermen’s houses and wide-open views across the bay. 🚶‍♀️🌿

In every season, the Bay of Somme reveals a different atmosphere: migrating birds, shifting colours, salt meadows and endless horizons shaped by nature. Whether exploring on foot, by bike or aboard the heritage steam train, the experience is rooted in a slower rhythm of travel. 🌾☀️

A destination where coastal heritage, local traditions and protected landscapes come together in northern France.

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, where history meets nature 🌿

Nestled in the Hérault Valley, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert reveals its medieval lanes beneath towering limestone cliffs. Best explored on foot, the village invites visitors to slow down and enjoy its shaded squares, the Abbey of Gellone, and the surrounding landscapes. 🚶‍♀️🌿

Just a few minutes away, the Pont du Diable and the clear waters of the Hérault River offer a refreshing escape, perfect for a swim, a riverside walk, or simply taking in the beauty of the gorges. 🌊☀️

A place where heritage, nature, and a slower pace of travel come together in southern France.

Did you know?

The Verdon Gorge was carved by water over millions of years.

Flowing between the Alps and Provence, the Verdon River slowly shaped these limestone cliffs long before the roads, villages, and viewpoints existed. The canyon’s striking turquoise color comes from glacial minerals carried by the water — a landscape formed gradually through erosion, light, and time.

Today, the gorge remains deeply connected to the rhythm of nature: quiet mornings above the cliffs, kayaking below the rock walls, and small Provençal villages overlooking one of Europe’s most dramatic landscapes

From neighbouring European countries, the journey can already begin by train.

Wander through Nice's colourful markets, follow the coastline to Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco, enjoy breathtaking views from Èze, and discover the art of perfume-making in Grasse.

A journey shaped by Mediterranean landscapes, local savoir-faire and slower rhythms.

🚆 Accessible by rail from across Europe

Julie’s Travel Journal in a Charming Basque Village 🌿

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is an invitation to slow down. Between panoramic views of the Pyrenees, stone bridges crossing the Nive River, and narrow streets lined with traditional Basque houses, every walk reveals a peaceful atmosphere. 🌾

I loved stopping by the riverside to enjoy local specialties, meeting welcoming locals, and watching pilgrims set off along the Camino de Santiago. For centuries, this historic pilgrimage route has connected travelers from across Europe to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, making this village a vibrant crossroads of stories and encounters. 🚶‍♀️🌿

✨ Looking up has never felt so meaningful.

As dusk settles over the hills of the Luberon, the first stars begin to appear. Far from city lights and screens, Astrolub invites travellers to reconnect with the night sky and experience Provence from a different perspective.

Guided by a passionate astronomy enthusiast, guests discover planets, the Moon, distant galaxies and the Milky Way through a powerful telescope, while learning fascinating stories about the universe above us.

But what makes this experience truly special is the atmosphere: slowing down, sharing conversations under the stars and rediscovering a sense of wonder that many thought they had lost.

An unforgettable evening where science, nature and human connection come together.
