Besides getting away from life, travel should also be to learn about history, culture and all things that make up this wonderful world of ours. So, when I plan my trips abroad or domestic, I always go with purpose, and I share my travel topics with reasons – to hopefully inspire folks to travel outside of their comfort zone and past all the rest and relaxation concept.
I have never considered a stay in Saint-Raphaël – along the French Riviera until I stumbled upon this property. Usually I opt for Cannes and take the train from coastal town to the next – in particular having to make a local train to bus transfer in Saint-Raphaël on my way to Saint Tropez.
I always find it most interesting to dig up history behind the most unusual travel destinations or ones we seldom or hardly consider adding to our travel bucket list. Check out my latest finds:
Ah the idea of being in a place like this for a week or two, to regroup and clear the mind and body and soul is an idea I’ve had for a long time. Escaping the hustle and bustle of city life and the never ending list of chores and realities of every day life. Nevermind the hotel is 57 miles from the nearest airport. Isn’t that the whole idea? 🙂
I found a few topics online, while searching for ideas for my next trip abroad, and decided if you are a history buff, or is always interested in a bit of background regarding your next destination, you might enjoy readying them:

I mean have you seen the film A Good Year? If so you will understand. If not, please rent it, stream it and see what I am talking about. With that said, I am longing for two weeks in this amazing little cottage in France with all the necessary amenities and some left out – which is perfectly fine with me.
Doing a bit of online shopping this morning and realized I needed a few fun pieces for my upcoming vacation and throughout the summer. I mean more like when Indian summer hits San Francisco late September to early October.
