"France: Simply Irrestistible Link Party" ~ Day Trips from Paris

via

The day has finally arrived...the France: Simply Irresistible Link Party sponsored by the lovely Anita, from Castles, Crowns and Cottages, begins today!  Anita's instructions were to simply share anything that inspires us about France, preferably places other than Paris, since the past two years the link party concentrated on Paris. Oh, what fun this will be! I can't wait to read everyone else's posts and look forward to meeting many new blogging friends.

I have spent the past two weeks thinking about what I want to write about for this "irresistible" week...I originally wanted to write about Provence or the Cote D'Azur since they are two places I have never been and are very high on my travel bucket list. No doubt, the photos would have been stunning, but I decided I would rather learn more about these places from my fellow bloggers who know those areas really well.

After much consideration, I have decided to concentrate on lovely places that are easy day trips from Paris.  As this week unfolds, I may discover some new places that I want to share with all of you, so I am not going to list each place right now...I will let it unfold organically throughout the week. If you would like to share a lovely day trip with me, please do!

Our first 'voyage de jour' will be to Chartres...so be sure to check back a little later to learn more about this charming town and its gorgeous cathedral.

Now I am off to check the links to the other voyagers/bloggers who are sharing in this amazing adventure courtesy of Anita!!

Bon Voyage!
