🍾 The Post-Champagne Reality Check: Time to Reset
There is an undeniable magic to France, but if I am being brutally honest and facing an uncomfortable truth, these last three visits have left me feeling an urgent need to detox. There’s just too many temptations, i.e. too much good food, especially delicious cheeses, related beverages in France.

Normally, that is just a cue to lace up the running shoes and hit the pavement to explore a new city which I love doing almost everywhere I travel.
