  • The charming streets of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue where we spent a lazy Saturday afternoon. It was a welcome respite after yet another morning of house hunting in Provence! With houses heavily on my mind these last few weeks, I decided to write about how different it is house hunting in France, to back 'home' in New Zealand. You can read the post by clicking on the link in my bio 🇫🇷
  • As a parent (of a preschooler), it can be hard to get the golden hour shots while travelling. But staying on the beach in Sardinia meant I could nip out for an evening walk along the seaside and play with some different techniques on my camera for a change. I love the colours of both the sea and the sky at this time of night. Although, if you plan on doing the same, make sure you use mozzie repellent!!
  • Secret views in the streets of Roussillon en Provence 🇫🇷
  • The views in Roussillon are first class! I love walking in this region of France and I've already bought two books about hiking in Provence. The only problem is - they're in French 😆 Just another motivating factor to knuckle down and master the language!
  • This week we've been busy house-hunting, but I'm yet to find my perfect provençal pad. We've been here since Feb and I feel like we've only covered a fraction of what the region has to offer... Did you know there are 19 Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (Most beautiful villages of France) in Provence? I've only visited 3 so far, including Roussillon (pictured) which I've written about this week on the blog - link in bio ❤️
  • We've had a whirlwind month of May - including island holidays in Corsica and Sardinia! Both times we took the overnight ferry from Toulon/Nice and woke up as we were sailing into paradise 😎 Our @cabinzero backpack made the perfect overnight bag for the boat - storing everything the three of us needed for the duration aof our crossing! There are just 10 days left to use my unique code CZLELONGWEEKEND in order to receive a 10% discount - to learn more, check out my review on the blog 💕
  • We love living in Provence. So much so, that we're considering making it a permanent move! The only problem is that our home - that we love and bought less than a year ago - is in the Charente-Maritime 😭 Big decisions to be made... This photo was taken on a family walk around the Calanque de Port-Miou a few weekends back (details will be on the blog soon!).
  • A couple of weeks ago we took a 4x4 tour through Corsica's wild Desert des Agriates. Two beautiful & remote beaches lay at the end of the track. But it was the tour itself that was the best surprise of the day! You can read all about it on the blog now (link in bio!) 😘
  • This week has flown by way too fast! We've been enjoying the seaside in Sardinia since Tuesday... and this is how we've spent our days. Today we're thinking about venturing further than our own front yard and seeing what's on offer on the rest of the island. But then again...
