6 Best Places in Travel France

1. Nomadic Matt – France Travel Guide

The internet is fickle, and blogs come and go. Not this guy though.

I’ve been following this blog ever since I started my France journey back in 2012 as a student. Matt is a definite travel expert – his site features over 15 different countries all around the world.

His France section is chock filled with the best things to do all over France, not necessarily just in Paris! Marseilles, Nice, Bordeaux, the Loire Valley…he really explores it all.

That’s great news for those of you who really want to dig in when it comes to your France travels.

My favorite part: Matt’s typical costs section! With assumptions flying left and right about the cost of food, housing, and activities in France, it’s super helpful to have the real facts all in one place.

2. The Slow Road

This is a recent discovery for me, but as soon as I stumbled across this site I was hooked.

It is similar to Nomadic Matt in that there are different sections for different countries, and there are endless articles focused on France.

My favorite part: the Reading for the Road rection! We’re huge book lovers here at Sight Seeker’s Delight (and I mean huge), so we’re always looking for new books to read. And books that focus on France? That’s where it’s at!

3. Life in Our Van

Another blog with multiple sections for different destinations, this one is written by husband and wife that decided to ditch the normal routine and travel the world with their 2 children.

This is obviously not the reality for many, but talk about a dream for some! The family of four has traveled the world in their motorhome, and has recorded their adventures to share, and also help other travelers.

For any of you traveling as a family, you’re going to find some really great insight here.

My favorite part: the lively spirit and family based posts. Traveling with children can be a challenge – this blog shows you that it doesn’t have to be. There is also a quote by Mark Twain featured all over their site that reads: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” The quote gives me chills…

4. France Travel Tips

Not everyone wants to “do as the locals do.” That can be a ton of pressure. Sometimes, when we travel, we just want to be TOURISTS!

And you know what? That’s okay. That’s better than okay – don’t let anyone ever tell you different.

In that vein, having useful information from a tourists’ perspective is sometimes exactly what you need.

Enter author Janice Chung. She does not live in France, but she has visited nearly 30 times.

That’s some expert-level traveling!

Since she has been here so many times, you can imagine that Janice has discovered some of the best and most unique things to do in this country. Start your journey through her site by clicking on, you guessed it…Start Here!

My favorite part: the OCD inside me loves the way this site is set up! With tabs like experiences, travel tips, and trip planning…you know exactly where to find what you’re looking for.

5. Hand Luggage Only

Hand Luggage Only is a blog run by friends and fellow travelers Yaya and Lloyd. The pair started the blog as a way to share their traveling stories together, to connect with other like-minded people, and to help others like themselves.

This is another site with many sections and destinations to peruse through, and I am loving their France section.

My favorite part: the photos! These guys have a definite gift (and probably a really nice camera) when it comes to photography. The photos are crisp, bright, and they really make you want to visit France… as if you didn’t already want to. If you’re reading this, Yaya and Lloyd, can you guys give me a photography lesson, please?!

6. Sight Seeker’s Delight

You’re here already, but did you know that we aim our articles towards travelers just like you?
