Roadtrip 2023 Day 6 - Bouche Rit Ars-en-Ré
Do you know Bouche Rit in Ars-en-Ré? The village of Ars-en-Ré sits on the small island of Île de Ré in the Atlantic.

Day 4 - Tiramisu in France?
From Italy's smallest gas station to Arles — where we discovered a charming boutique hotel, phenomenal Charolais beef, and the bold claim of Tiramisu on French plates.
Day 3 - What Else Happened in Genoa
Genoa feels like it consists of narrow, tall alleyways. They seem to run straight. But since you somehow often end up back at the starting point, they probably don't.
Day 3 - In Search of... the Croissant?
In France there is only the croissant. It is a croissant, period. There is also no chocolate croissant in France — that’s a "pain au chocolat". And no, it really isn’t a croissant! It looks different and tastes different too.
Day 2 - Off to Florence!
