Restaurant La Soï

In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months in France. My situation is unique because my boyfriend is French, so I often get to explore areas of the country that other travelers might not think to visit. Paris is certainly worth experiencing, but the rest of France has so much to offer, too! Spanning as far north as Lille and as far south as Bordeaux, this guide will give you everything you need to experience some of the best areas of France, outside of its capital. The best part? I don't plan to stop exploring France anytime soon! I will continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them myself. I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Safe travels! 🧳
