Please forgive the self-indulgent nature of our blog today as we're pretty pleased to have been picked out for France Magazine's feature on learning and experience holidays in France. Read it here...
It's great that experiences beyond the 'parachutes and bungee jumps' traditional things to do are being included and in particular that lots of the places featured are centered around the environment and de-stressing - key drivers for us, anyway. For us, experiences and related breaks away are about creating amazing and unique memories so who fancies being surrounded by 50,000 bees and having their photo taken?
The feature got us to thinking about what our ideal experience breaks would be and we couldn't come up with a short list of less than about 20 so I think we'll need a time machine to make our bucket list... what about you? What would be on your bucket list of experience breaks? It's great there is so much choice beyond sitting on one's bum all day on a beach!
It's also great to see our good friends at Astrofarm included for their stargazing experiences which are amazing. And to see our neighbour Fred front and centre in the headline photo... he knows which one he is underneath that suit :-)
