Celebrate Bastille Day - one month ahead of the French - with Rick and his co-host (and France guidebook co-author), Steve Smith, on a virtual tour around France. We'll check out France's second city, the tragically underrated culinary capital of Lyon, before exploring the châteaux of Vaux-le-Vicomte and Cheverny. In the Dordogne, Sarlat hosts a thriving market-one of France's best. And in the sunbaked South of France, we explore the urbane resort of Nice and the Roman temple and arena in the city of Nîmes. For dinner, we'll have a gourmet charcuterie board of French meats, cheeses, and tapenade from Le Pichet, a local Seattle restaurant, and a bottle of French wine. Get your own French takeout and join us for this Bastille Day party.

I like how the French possess such a love & passion for their culture, for their food & for all things genuinely French! Contrary to popular belief, it's not arrogant, it ought be expected & it's great for them & for all who visit France. They must always preserve their wonderful history, culture & way of life. We see this within all countries anyway.

France is so underrated, so interesting, simply gorgeous, stunning, so culturally rich & diverse! Thank you for sharing & for educating we humans within the US & across the world.

We’re heading to Bordeaux for 2 weeks in May. We have visited Paris, Normandy, the Loire and the Dordogne in past visits - curious about your thoughts on Bordeaux as you rarely discuss it…

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

I visited much of France in 2009. I've great memories. Bordeaux is simply beautiful, elegant & culturally rich & vibrant. It's wonderful & i cannot express this enough, but of course, each to their own. I love that the French are so culturally proud & this is great, but this pride to many, can appear as "arrogance". So not true. The French, just like all of us, are proud of their roots, their country & way of life. They simply wish to preserve what they have, what they love. Their long standing way of life & this must never be confused with arrogance, or anything remotely related. I'm quite confident in saying however, that from a general/objective perspective, most would speak positively of Bordeaux & pretty much all of France. It's a beautiful, historic & delightful European country & Bordeaux, is just one of many splendid French regions. I also loved Brittany, Normandy & the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Burgundy is beautiful too. Of course, Paris is just totally unique & special. I hope you enjoyed your time in France & wherever else within Europe you've been.
