My favorite thing to do in France? Well, that’s a tough one, but at the top of the list would have to be visiting small French Villages. Years ago I bought a book called Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France). It’s put out by an official organization that chooses the most beautiful, most iconic villages in the country. There are about 175 or so I think. My goal is to visit each and every one of them. I’m over 50 now, so I’m well on my way!
