Read MoreWith my friend Lea, who flew in from London, we were able to visit several areas along the French (and Italian) Riviera. Our main mission, however, was to make our dream come true: chase lavender fields.
Read MoreI once prepared this day-trip itinerary for a colleague-turned-friend for her trip to Paris in 2018. I hope it will serve you as well. Rouen is a small city 100 km away from Paris and can be visited for an entire day. Regardless of its smaller size, I hope you can spare two-three days in Rouen to appreciate its beauty.

Today, I managed to make it to the laundry shop (Ma Laverie Shop) in Borriglione, just down the street at 7 AM - opening time.
