Bienvenue! Let me share my France with you - Véro, native French adult educator, tour guide, writer

Bonjour.

I travel around France for a living five months of the year.

Time to confess road trips in my adopted home, the Loire Valley may be my very favorite ones.

Everyone comes here to discover the magnificent Renaissance châteaux in the former "Valley of the Kings."

I like the big ones (who doesn't?) but there's something special about discovering those that hide off the beaten path, majestic estates telling stories of yore.

I treated myself to a fun adventure last month before heading out to meet my first tour group.

It was a perfect day, so perfect I couldn't help but film a new virtual tour.

The video's up now on the France with Vero YouTube channel (where I have been storing over 300 tours in Paris and beyond since 2020.)

Bonne visite !

Bonjour.

Savoring France in April?

I certainly gave it my best shot.

A new "Lettre de France" has just dropped on Substack - straight from the Tour guide's desk.

Bon weekend!

Bonjour.

How about joining me on tour in the Loire Valley in April 2027?

I’ve recently teamed up with “Adventures with Sarah” a Seattle-based boutique travel agency and fellow tour guides Sarah Murdoch (the company’s founder) and Nina Seffusatti (a dear friend of mine based in Avignon) to create and run an exclusive 12-day itinerary, “Savoring France.”

This small-group tour is scheduled from April 13-25, 2027 and will introduce visitors to the diversity of French regions, from the Loire Valley (I’ll be leading the first section of the trip) to Lyon, the French capital of gastronomy (with Sarah) then down to colorful Marseille and Provence (with Nina.)

This is a small group tour and space is limited.

I already offer in-person French Immersion workshops in the Loire Valley and am excited at this opportunity to design and lead a tour in the magical region I call home.

If you’ve been thinking about discovering more of la Belle France outside Paris with a team of experienced guides, here’s your chance!

Find all details in the link below or on the Adventures with Sarah website.

Bonjour.

Famous parks and gardens abound in Paris.

Famous often means crowded.

It can be pay off to leave the busy downtown area and head to less touristy neighborhoods.

Take my old home base, the 17th arrondissement for example.

A few days ago I took you on a leisurely T’Walk (Talk & Walk) from lovely Parc Monceau to the best market street in Paris.

Happy to release part 2 of my recent urban explorations.

Looking to step away from the crowds and enjoy authentic Parisian life?

Look no further than charming Square des Batignolles.

Bonjour.

I treated myself to a special moment “en terrasse” this week — not just any “terrasse” mind you, Tours’ first rooftop!

Have you ever had a chat with an old cathedral (almost at eye level?)

I did. The story is linked in the comment section below.

Bonjour.

Just a few days left before packing this tour guide’s bag for the first time this season.

A few days left to enjoy my city and the slower pace of French life “en province.”

In 2026 itinerant tours will take me to Paris, the Loire Valley and Normandy as I introduce groups of North American travelers to la Belle France.

We will try and go beyond the postcard and gain understanding while challenging perspectives.

I can’t complain. I do what I love, teaching and sharing France.

Bring it on, 2026 touring season!

This tour guide’s ready.

Bonjour.

Do you like French brands?

I do. One in particular (not necessarily the one foreign visitors who enjoy shopping in France might think about.)

I was reminded of this great brand on a shopping trip on Saturday.

The story is in the comment section.

It links to the platform where I do most of my writing these days, for those among you wondering why I don't pop up here as often as I used to. 😉

If you enjoy reading about France beyond the postcard, come and check out the "French Vignettes" I publish there several times a week and subscribe to "Lettres de France" (my monthly newsletter.) It's free.

A bientôt,

Véro

Breaking news!

Fans of the so-called "chocolate croissant" should read the French Vignette I just published on Substack (Link in the comment section below) about a major announcement today by the renowned "Immortals" of the Académie Française.

Ignore it at your own risk (I mean, do you want to blend in in France or be treated like a tourist? -- Your choice.)

Bonne lecture. Happy reading!
