French Country Fridays 216 | A French Escape!

Welcome to the ALL NEW French Country Fridays, the series that will inspire you to “Frenchify” your Friday!

Did you hear the news that Europe will be opening its doors to vaccinated U.S. tourists this summer? This is so exciting and I cannot wait to head back to explore overseas destinations and you can be sure that France will be in the equation! I’m still going to take a wait and see attitude for a little while though, but perhaps late fall will be a good time. Today I’m sharing some Paris travel tips and I’ve been there several times in the fall months. If you’re going to be in planning mode, take a look at my post below!

Escape To The Chateau

If you haven’t yet caught on to this streaming series on The Peacock Network, you’ll be saying merci beaucoup soon! Brits Dick and Angel Strawbridge purchased this 19th century chateau in France to restore and raise their family in. The show follows all of the renovations and how they turned the chateau into a popular wedding venue. A MUST SEE, you’re welcome!

I always have this scent of Diptych next to my bed and light it before I shut the lights. The lavender scent is like no other and transports me to France! SHOP HERE
I was introduced to Diptyque by a French friend and have worn it daily ever since! The perfumes are lovely and subtle with floral notes. You’ll love it! SHOP HERE
Longchamps bags are what most French women carry and you’ll notice that often when you’re there! I have one and it’s the most practical and lightweight bag that I own! SHOP HERE
