Visit the Idyllic La Verriere and Chêne Bleu Wine Estate in Provence
Sometimes you can create your own fairytale in life... That’s what our friend did for his 50th bday, where we experienced “A Midsummer Nights Dream” at La Verriere in Provence, France. We ate, drank, danced to the Gipsy King’s (live!) sang, and celebrated. An epic fairytale.

2 Days in Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a beautiful and quaint French city, in the middle of France’s famed wine region. The city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you get the sense they’ve spent a great deal of effort renovating these buildings.

In this post, I’ll give you some ideas for what to do if you have 2-3 days to explore Bordeaux.
