Where you'll find me (while I gorge on my zillionth oyster fresh out of the water). Here, on the Arcachon basin, you'll find the most charming setting of wooden cabins lined up along the water, locals lunching in their fragrant gardens, and oyster farmers hauling their treasures out of the sea ready to be savoured #reallife 🌊😁 . . . #leavemehere #lifegoals #dreamhouse #beautifulfrance #visitfrance #travelfrance #travel #travelinspo #traveldeeper #holidayvibes #igersfrance #topfrancephoto #francetravellers #passionpassport #happy #lovelife #summer #travelgram #simplethingsmadebeautiful #vacances #love #francejetaime #nature #naturelovers #lekiffe #thisisfrance #breathe #peace #picoftheday

There's a special atmosphere on France's Jade coast 🇨🇵 Not far from the picture-perfect ports of neighbouring Brittany, it's truly off the beaten track. And facing the inky skies that melt into the murky ocean waters, is the serene @annedebretagne.laplainesurmer hotel. Waking up here to the gentle sound of the waves licking the sandy beach was a dream - as was digging into Mathieu Guibert's delicious 2* dishes of local shellfish I never knew existed like ormeau (swipe⬅️) and rigadeau! Loved every minute 👌🐚🐟 Merci à toute l'équipe!

Still fantasising about what it would be like to live floating above the ocean in one of these wooden fishing cabins, and waking up to great big wispy blue skies and the sound of the splashing sea, while it creeps away from shore, revealing the golden sands once again⛱️ . . . #breathe #latergram #brittany #bretagne #break #sunshine #lovelife #visitfrance #francetravellers #beautifulfrance #passionpassport #traveldeeper #explorer #jaimelafrance #dream #magic #igersbretagne #instatravel #francophile #love #francejetaime #vacances #holidayinspiration #wanderlust #breizh #bretagnetourisme #sea #naturelovers #nature

Waking up this morning, I so very much wish the first thing I could do is take a walk on this windswept beach which we had all to ourselves a week ago (instead of having to listen to my neighbour's vacuum cleaner)🙄🌊🌊🌊 . . . #breathe #weekendvibes #brittany #bretagne #break #sunshine #lovelife #visitfrance #francetravellers #beautifulfrance #passionpassport #traveldeeper #explorer #jaimelafrance #dream #magic #igersbretagne #instatravel #francophile #love #francejetaime #vacances #holidayinspiration #wanderlust #breizh #bretagnetourisme #sea #naturelovers #nature

I keep forgetting just how wonderful this region is! Take me back to last weekend's cloudless blue skies full of summer promise stretched above Pornic Castle.

If, like me, you're a bit of hotel fiend, and you're an art lover, then check out these 5 wonderfully atmospheric abodes to stay at, from Paris to the glorious British countryside, and from the Basque Country wilderness to Rome and Vienna, while you hop from one must-see European art exhibition to the next❤️ (more @relaischateaux magazine in bio☝️) . . . #artlover #hoteljunkie #traveldeeper #whatdreamsaremadeof #timetravel #loves_paris #visitfrance #saintjames #clivedenhouse #visitengland #nationaltrust #basquecountry #castillodearteaga #visitspain #instaparis #rome #italia #vienna #visiteurope #traveleurope #travelinspo #travelinspire #instago #instatravel #lovelife #magic #beautifulworld #relaischateaux #relaischateauxmagazine #instantsmagazine

Dining in the shadows... Loved basking in the charm of Pétrelle, where the interiors reminded me of a small secret theatre - a wooden chandelier stole the show, as did the hand drawn artworks and menus... Brings me back to why I fell in love with Paris all those years ago... #almost11years #thisisparis * * * #parisgram #parismaville #parislife #thisisparis #therealparis #parisjetaime #parismonamour #hiddenparis #beyondthewanderlust #igersparis #ig_paris #seemyparis #visitparis #beautifulparis #offthebeatenpath #doitlikealocal #parislove #petrelle #parisrestaurant #loves_paris #instaparis

Breaking news! A restaurant/community kitchen @refettorioparis has opened in the Madeleine church crypt and the interiors were done by @h2o27, @rf__studio, @encore_heureux_architectes and artworks by @jr. Refettorio Paris aims to serve 100 meals a day to people in vulnerable situations using about 130 kg of recovered food. And the first chef in residence is @MassimoBottura @foodforsoul_it👌👌#refettorioparis #massimobottura #newinparis #conmunityproject #empoweringpeople #thisisparis #parislife #parismaville #parisguide #parisexplorer #parisjetaime #parismonamour #ig_paris #loves_paris #instaparis

Catch your breath, slow down and unwind in this idyllic little spot just a 40-minute train journey from Paris✌️The bucolic @lesetangsdecorot sits right on a lake (Corot's last home and inspiration) and comes with Michelin-star dining, a wooden deck looking out to the water, and a @caudalie spa - perfect for a quick pause away from the city with girlfriends🍃 [So good to hang out with you ladies @kasiadietz @rowenacarrallinson Mary and Jen!] . . . #andbreathe #lovinglife #etangsdecorot #spahotel #spaweekend #hoteladdict #caudalie #naturelover #breathe #passionpassport #traveldeeper #relax #hotelexpert #thisislife #weekendvibes #vivreparis #parisjetaime #parismaville #parisguide #parisexplorer #parismonamour #thisisparis #igersparis

While it's in a fairly unexpected spot, @hoteldesgrandsboulevards is a serene, cosy addition to Paris's hotel scene where @dorotheemeilichzon weaves Louis XVI splendour and a simple peasant aesthetic of Revolutionary France, with her trademark retro touch. Can't get enough of it (more @wallpapermag) #hoteljunkie #parishotel #parisjetaime #parisguide #beautifulparis #visitparis #igersparis #thisisparis #parismonamour #parismaville #loves_paris #instaparis

Good morning! It's going to be colder than in Siberia this week apparently... But if that means sunshine and crisp blue skies, then bring it on! . . . #mondaymotivation #parisjetaime #parismaville #thisisparis #passionpassport #igparis #parisparis #eiffeltowerspotting #eiffeltower #winterishere #sunshine #blueskies #view #parismagic #picoftheday #newweek #goals #goodvibes #traveldeeper #condenast #loves_paris #instaparis

Happy Saturday! It's all about the little things, isn't it. Loved waking up to the sunshine and this beautiful wild bouquet that makes me wish I were away from the city, laying in a meadow somewhere warm and quiet 🏵️🌼🌻🏵️ . . . #weekendvibes #springiscoming #flowerpower #iloverflowers #flowersoftheday #fkowerlovers #picoftheday #saturday #parismaville #getaway #travel #daydreaming #sunshine #love #nexttrip #writing #homesweethome #parisjetaime #breakaway #naturelover #nature #green #flowermagic #breathe #escape (thanks @jenniferneyt 😉)

Coming back here, the place that's always felt like home, is always so special. Sitting on the big comfy couch, looking out at the garden and feeling the warmth of the sun streaming through the window is one of the things I love the most - that and those wonderful stained glass windows 😁 #glow

This view... I'd love to be back here, looking out at the crisp colours dancing on the snowy mountains from my warm cosy bed 😁 🌨️🎿 See the review of @hotelstrato up now @forbes #alpinejunkie

Stepping inside the abyss of perception at #gonzaloborondo and @carmen.main's group show @Matiere.Noire in #Marseille. Featured, @isaaccordal's figurines revealed inside the open cupboard. One of the most gripping art shows I have ever been to - you can read the review online @yatzer. ---------- ------ #yatzerized #notinparis #matierenoire #carmenmain #edoardotresoldi #isaaccordal #artinmarseille #lovemarseille

My favourite kind of Christmas - I could stay put all day, watching the ocean and the sky while sitting by the roaring fire with a cup of Earl Grey🔥Here, the sand, pinned with a lonely wooden fisherman's cabin, stretches far into the ocean under big rolling skies, as the thick grey cloud moves on the howling winds to reveal pure blue patches. Beautiful nature. May you all be having a happy and rejuvenating Christmas holiday, wherever you may be!🌠 . . . #serenity #breathe #nature #naturelover #naturegram #traveldeeper #visitfrance #beautifulfrance #christmasinfrance #merrychristmas #ocean #views #ig_france #francelover #love #holidayinspiration #holidays #beachlife #winterishere #picoftheday #sky #brittany

This staircase... Early musings on a frosty Sunday morning 🌨️ at the wonderfully atmospheric Gustave Moreau (aka father of symbolism) museum #latergram #staircaseenvy #instaparis #loves_paris

This piece I wrote about the new Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakesh for @relaischateaux magazine was published a little while back, but today's blue skies (and freezing temperatures) make me wish I could be back there... Delving into Yves Saint Laurent's double life @myslmarrakech 🖤 #duality

Mountain magic🌟 And then there was snow, a whole load of snow! I always underestimate just how reinvigorating the Alps are 😍 I could stay here and look out at that view right up till Christmas 🌲🌨️ #magic #christmasiscoming #sunday . . . #frenchalps #montagne #ski #heaven #alps #beautifulfrance #visitfrance #courchevel #snow #picoftheday #instago #instatravel #traveljournalist #lifestyle #winterishere #weekend #traveldeeper #travelfrance #francejetaime #wonderland #nature #naturelover #naturegram #ig_france #snow #blueskies #wintersun #serenity
