Thanks to Paris banning the ‘Freedom Convoy’ from entering the city (which you can read about), this weekend is going to be much calmer than expected! Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week Seven include an article from Rick Steves on the uncomplicated romance of Paris, a food guide to Megève, and a romantic twist on oysters. Enjoy!
Port Cros Guide: A Côte d’Azur Island Gem
It feels like simultaneously yesterday and forever ago that we were on Port Cros, the gorgeous French island just across from Hyères on mainland France. Many people visit the island via ferry or boat as a day trip, but we spent four nights on the island. I thought it was the perfect amount of time to really discover all that Port Cros has to offer. Here you’ll find my full Port Cros guide with everything you need to know from how to get there, where to stay, where to eat, and the best hiking on Port Cros!
Five Friday Finds from France: July 24th
I’m back in Paris after the most refreshing and relaxing time in the South of France. Last Saturday we started part two of the vacation in Port Cros. I fell in love with this tiny little island paradise. I can say with confidence that we experienced as much of the island as possible. Port Cros provided plenty of experiences from driving a boat on the Mediterranean to learning how to fillet a cooked fish. Now that I’m back in Paris, there’s a Tex-Mex fiesta on the horizon thanks to the sweetest care package I received from Dallas. Yes, seeing the Velveeta and HEB Butter Tortillas really did almost bring tears to my eyes.
