France Travel Guides
2 Weeks Travel Vacation France

Our recent France travel guides you on the latest of our two week France travel vacations.

Our vacation to France this year was the first two weeks in September. Below is my travel journal with links to more details, yes not officially a blog because I left my computer at home. Yeah! I took lots of great photos though!

Travel itineraries are difficult to put together. We wanted to explore the Dordogne where we’ve never been plus add a visit to Brittany and Paris. After a lot of research I created the itinerary which you can follow below and see how our 2 weeks unfolded. (actually for us it was 12 days).

3 days in Brittany
1 day in Bordeaux/St. Emilion
3 days in the Dordogne
3 days in Paris
1 ½ days train travel between destinations
