Episode 156: Nice and the South of France

,
The French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. It includes famously glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and the independent microstate of Monaco. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s “jet set.” Today it’s an established holiday destination, with paths connecting many coastal villages and towns. Heidi was recently in Nice, with day trips to Monaco and some perched villages on the Mediterranean, and found it to be a laid-back, easy to navigate region with much to offer travelers. We’re excited to learn about this area!

Episode 153: Disneyland Paris

,
Last week we talked with Lindsay about her trip to Scotland. This week we’re keeping her on that side of the pond because she also made a stop at Disneyland Paris. Since Elizabeth was also there recently with her family we thought we’d talk to them about how it’s different than the US parks, and how it might be the same. Have you been to Disneyland Paris? What did you enjoy most?

Episode 121: European Christmas Markets

European Christmas markets have a history that goes back to the late Middle Ages. It’s hard not to get into a festive mood with hearty, comforting food that warms your body and soul, the cheerful and lively atmosphere in the market squares, and the fairy tale surroundings (often majestic cathedrals or city halls serving as backdrops in a town that seems to have halted in time). Our guest today is a not only a librarian and the amazing virtual assistant and podcast editor of our agency but a savvy well seasoned traveler. This past christmas Heidi and her husband Luis journeyed one more time to soak up, revel in and explore the magic of the Christmas markets of Europe that made her fall in love with the season all over again. In all, she  has visited  markets in 14 cities spanning 6 countries (photo is Prague,  market in Old Town Square).
