My favourite things to do in La Rochelle, the ‘White City’
11th April 2023 by Budget Traveller
Nestled on the southwestern coast of France, is the charming fishing town of La Rochelle. Characterised by a rich maritime history, La Rochelle’s roots are reflected in the way the medieval old town has developed around its old harbour or Vieux Port, the half timbered houses, the lofty 17th century arches covering the passageways. This was my 3rd visit to the city and the place grows on me with every visit. In this post, I’ll share with you some of the best things to do in La Rochelle....

In this post, I’ve shared the best things...

A Visit to Bordeaux - A City Looking Towards the Future
28th February 2023 by Budget Traveller
I had no clue what to expect from Bordeaux. We would be of course drinking a lot of good wine. In addition, friends had raved to me about the city’s incredible gastronomy. Now, this sounds very cliched and dull but when I want to visit France, I tend to gravitate towards Paris a lot. Even though the Parisians can be tough to love, I love the city, its history, roaming the left bank, revisiting old favourites like Shakespeare and Sons, the Musée d’Orsay and then finishing off with a glass...
