All My France Guides
A collection of all of my France guides & itineraries. I've lived in Paris since 2016 and I LOVE sharing France with others. I'm quite convinced I've seen more of France than most French people, and it's so fun to capture all my favorite trips in a handy guide for you to use. This links to:

An 8-day, 7-night itinerary for driving through the best of Provence from Nice to Aix-en-Provence. Discover classic perched villages, lavender-scented countryside, and remarkable natural landscapes. Included in this guide: 📍 High-level plan of where to go each day ✨ General Tips (opening hours, bathrooms, driving, meal times) 🛣️ Drive times between each destination, avoiding toll roads 💚 Pro Tips Coming Soon: (SAVE NOW to access all future updates) 📍 Anchor activities in each location 📍 Personal notes for each place 📍 Some restaurant, bar, and boulangerie recommendations 📍 Accommodation suggestions THIS GUIDE IS NOT: - A guide to Nice & its Surrounding Areas. - A guide to Marseille & the Calanques. - An in-depth itinerary for Aix-en-Provence. I have separate, detailed guides for each of these three areas. This guide is also not a guide for the Cote d'Azur. If this is what you're looking for, contact me and I can design one. You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates (I just returned from this trip in Sep. 2023 so tons more recs and notes are coming soon!) 🎞️ Linked videos (where applicable) that bring recommendations and advice to life 💙 If you love this guide, I would really appreciate it if you shared it with a friend, left a great review, or contributed a tip.

Hello et bonjour ! I'm (another) American in Paris. I've lived in France since 2016 and I loooove sharing my Paris & France recs in hopes I can help others love this city and country as much as I do. I'm quite confident I've seen more of France than most French people, so no matter what you're looking for, I've (probably) done it! ✅ What I'm a great fit for: Mature travelers, couples, solo travelers, and families who enjoy soaking in authentic experiences, great food and wine, off-the-beaten-track gems, classic sites, and sustainable travel. 🌱 What's sustainable travel about? Traveling in a way that is kind to the environment, respectful of local culture, & supportive of the local economy. My trip-planning services are always through a sustainable lens, and automatically include a carbon removal contribution. ❌ What I'm not a great fit for: Travelers focused on bars/clubbing or high-end shopping. ➡️ Follow me on TikTok & Pinterest @hilaryinparis for Paris & France recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more. 🌍 PS: I'm on Thatch because I genuinely love sharing France with folks. My day job is running Yugen Earthside, a booking platform for responsible package trips primarily catering to groups of mature American travelers. My company's website and Instagram are linked below.
