We went to Saint-Quentin because it had a municipal campsite; it was expected to be warm, and the municipal swimming pool was nearby. When we arrived, it turned out we'd already been there; the woman at the campsite recognised us.…
Châlons-en-Champagne is a historic town with UNESCO World Heritage sites, picturesque canals along the Marne River, and local Champagne cellars. What we liked most were the Collegiate Church, the Cathedral, and the town hall square, which is very pretty. But…
We went to Châteauvillain because I had read that it was a medieval village set within a national forest park. In reality, it is a tiny hamlet, yet it has charm. While strolling near the Church of Notre-Dame—a listed historical…

Narbonne is bisected by the Canal de la Robine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is famous for its historical heritage. What we enjoyed most was its lively canalside market and the picturesque Passage de l'Ancre, located next to the…
Leucate is a fishing village located on a peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and the Leucate Lagoon. The lagoon is beautiful, with houses and boats lining its shores. Leucate's harbour is quite lively with bars, restaurants, and shops. But the…
