Slow travel isn’t new to us. We started embracing slow travel during our round-the-world trip, long before we had our daughter. Since we work while we travel, we quickly realized that it was impossible to rush through everything without ending up exhausted. The arrival of our daughter has further reinforced
The northern coast of the Côtes-d’Armor is one of those places that completely surprised us during our road trip through Brittany. We had come mainly to explore the famous Pink Granite Coast, but we ended up falling in love with the area around Paimpol. Between the quaint little harbors, the
Setting off on a trip around the world for several months or moving abroad temporarily quickly raises a very practical question: What should you do with all your belongings while you’re away? When we were planning our around-the-world trip and then our tour of Europe in a motorhome, we had
Last weekend, the three of us—just our daughter and us—went to Puy du Fou to spend some real quality family time together. We stayed there for three days, which gave us plenty of time to take our time doing everything, see some of the shows multiple times, and—most importantly—adjust our

We’ve been living on the Ile d’Oléron for 5 years now, so we’re starting to get some ideas for outings with children. We’ve tested the island in high summer, out of season, when the sun is shining, when it’s raining, with a very small child, then with a child who
If you’re planning a trip to southern Italy, you’re probably wondering: how many days should you allow for your Puglia road trip? Is a long weekend enough? Should you plan a week? Or 10 days to really enjoy Bari, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce, Matera and the beaches? Rest
It’s become a real headache: when we travel, the Internet is now almost indispensable. Since we often work remotely and spend a lot of time planning our itineraries online, we connect to numerous Wi-Fi networks: in hotels, cafés, railway stations and airports. Over time, we’ve developed a few habits. Before
As we live on the Ile d’Oléron, it’s a town we visit frequently. And during my second pregnancy, I did all my follow-up care and gave birth in Rochefort, so we went there about once a month. In other words, we had plenty of time to establish our little habits!
If you’re planning a trip to Lake Como, you’re probably wondering: how many days do you need to visit Lake Como? Is one day enough from Milan? Is 2 or 3 days enough? Or would you prefer 4 or 5 days to discover several villages, visit the villas, take the
If you’re planning a trip to Naples, the first question to ask is: how many days should you allow to visit Naples and enjoy the surrounding area? Is one day enough to discover the city? Should you allow 3 days? Or 4 or 5 days to add Pompeii, Vesuvius, Herculaneum
