Join Us in France Travel Podcast

Join Us in France Travel Podcast This week on Join Us in France we talk about the many things that happen in France as soon as school vacations roll around. Every year it's the same: most French people go into vacation mode and many things change all around the country. Does that change anything for visitors? Yes, it certainly does! To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, let us say that an ounce of vacation planning is worth a pound of cure. We touch on summer traffic jams, how French people return to family homes, the difficulties of finding a restaurant open on a Sunday night, and the general ambiance in various regions along French coasts, and much more.
