The prospect of a long journey in France is always something I relish & we have collated a map that offers anyone heading on a road trip in France an alternative to motorway service stations. The map brings together wonderful food-related stories and fond memories from our clients and colleagues, as well as some of our own recommendations.
The map features restaurants, bistros, swim spots, lovely places for a picnic, as well as places that are simply near the motorway and a great place to take a break and have a leg-stretch. The map will be launched early next year. It will be continually updated and members of the community will be able to offer feedback so that, hopefully, the map will be an enjoyable and reliable resource.

If you need help with any of the above, do get in touch.

* The relative affordability of beautiful houses with lots of space to enjoy spending time with family and friends
* Easy access without having to fly. Swerving the chaotic and unreliable airports for the significantly more civilised rail and ferry options
* Being able to spend extended periods of time enjoying the warmer, sunnier weather & a base from which to explore more widely
* Fresh produce, great food and wine - Enjoying the french way of life that is impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world

If you are considering a move from the US to Europe then France is often pretty high on the list of possible destinations. France has it all: a relaxed pace of life, a warm climate, wonderful scenery and, of course, fantastic food and wine. When people realise that property tends to be at least 50% cheaper than in the US then it prompts the question, what's the catch? Well, quite simply, there isn't one.
