Tour de FranceWell, there´s no doubt that this is tops in Europe if not the world.

And it´s really more than just a bicycle race—starting towns, mountain villages, vineyards and coastlines become waystations in a moving festival of sport. Riders climb high Alpine cols above Mont Blanc, sprint along the lavender-scented roads of Provence,…

Guadeloupe and 8 of its top highlights

Hugo Elby Shaped like a butterfly from the air, Guadeloupe somehow slips between the cracks when it comes to booking travel to the Caribbean, in favor of the likes of Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic. But that´s actually part of its appeal.Guadeloupe is actually an overseas département of France, meaning the euro is the currency, baguettes appear everywhere, and locals carry French passports while living amid rainforests, volcanoes, and palm-lined beaches.

I think you'll love Paris no matter what the weather. I do, anyway. Be prepared for possible cold and rain and you'll be fine, as Max said. It's still a great city for walking around. Enjoy!!

Good advice, Carles. What kind of name is that, anyway?

I was there twice in the first week of December. It even snowed... Some days were cold and sunny and others humid and cold with that humidity that gets into your bones. But with good shoes, an umbrella, a good scarf and wool instead of cotton, it was great !

Katherine, that's a great post on the Senanque Abbey! Never been, but I've been in places like that that give you goosebumps, especially when the monks start to chant. Did you take the pics? I love the picture below:

Novembre à Paris?? Hmmm... Well, it can be beautiful... or it can rain... or it can be bone-chilling cold... Truth is you never know, any time i've been to Paris the weather seems to change 3x a day... But don't let that stop you, Paris is beautiful in any weather. Just be prepared clothingwise and you'll be fine.

Hey, have you heard? Starting July 1, the French government is cutting the VAT from 19.6% to 5.5%, meaning lower resto tabs! That doesn't cover the bar bill, but still, c'est d'elicieux, n'est-pas?
