I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list. I am not a fan of large, group-owned, cookie-cutter hotels in general, but when they're by the sea, I have a physical reaction to them. This blog post is another list of secret places: sweet little family-run hotels...
This blog post is a list of kids summer camps that I have bookmarked over the years, researched, tried and tested or highly recommended by friends. I want to spend as much time as possible with the children over the summer months, but I also know that camp experiences...
If I only had a few days in Paris, I’d try to hit any – or all! – of the following places. There’s a bit for everyone in this list: fashion, food, children’s clothes... Some are old time favorites, back to when I lived on Place des Vosges (yes! in a tiny mouse hole...
My first VW memories date back to the 1970’s. My mother used to own a little white Beetle. She drove it from France to Algeria with me in the back, by way of a ferry ride Marseille-Algiers across the Mediterranean sea. I was 4 years old. In Algeria, I vaguely remember...
Family ski holidays are nearly always a hassle, and they create a big hole in the wallet. But then, at some point during a stay, you find yourself on the slopes, powdery snow around, blue skies above, rosy cheeks on the children's faces, and all the hard work is...
If I told you we had to leave two restaurants in Ile de Ré because the waitresses were so rude, I wouldn't be selling the idea of a trip there very well, right? The good thing is that I am not here to sell anything! The other good thing is that I won't let these...
Yes, Saint Remy de Provence is a very special place but it'd be a pitty not to venture out a bit. Here are ten BozAround ideas of day trips that will make the whole family happy. ARLES for... the photography festival. It's every summer and takes over the whole city,...
When I was pregnant of Lior, I decided that our family really needed to find refuge from the crazy pace of urban lives. Lior was my third, I knew he would be our last, and all I wanted was to find a place where we could hit the pause button and ensure that we...
Lior brought us luck to find our home in Provence 4 years ago - I still remember breastfeeding him in the rubbles of the house after we bought it and he was just a few months old. He was born in July - our little summer baby - so we always get to...
There's still time to squeeze in some family ski if you're in the Northern Hemisphere! Easter break falls really early this year in Europe, which means that the snow is still good in the Alps and the sun is already shining. Enjoying a ski vacation with young children...
I've been wanting to do a post on Paris for ever. It's my hometown after all, and although I have not lived there in almost 20 years (20!!), I know it inside out because I love it. And I hate it. Isn't it always like this when we're in love? Paris est tout petit pour...
We've had a wonderful couple of weeks in Provence this summer, near Saint Remy de Provence. This little town is famous not only for its charm and fantastic location in the heart of the region, but also because Van Gogh spent a few years there at the end...
Yes I traveled to Syria last week. Not the broken and abused Syria that we all know from the news but the Syria full of colours, smiles and flavours that once stood proud. That’s right, that's where we all went on Thursday night with a bunch of super girlfriends and...
this is me in the 70's at my beloved grandmother's house. i am a pure and proud product of immigration. My Christian grandmother escaped poverty in Italy between the two wars and crossed the Alps with mother and brothers in search of a better life in the mining towns...
Everyone's talking about Cuba these days, and I am thrown 20 years back to when I first visited this special island, and left it with mixed feelings about its future. I was 20 years old back then. During a summer internship in Caracas (that's a whole other blog...
We're back from a trip in Bhutan, which I really want to document properly on BozAround. It will be mainly through photos as I took sooo many, and they will tell much more about this beautiful country than my own words. Bhutan is roughly the size of Switzerland,...
