Things I Love About France...#4

Travel

It still amazes me how quickly we can travel to other places in France, or even to other countries in Europe. Luckily, we live pretty close to the center of France. It is only a 6 hour drive to Italy, a 6 hour drive to Spain, a 4 hour drive to Paris, just over 3 hours to the Mediterranean, 3 hours to Bordeaux, and 4 hours to the Alps. Everything is so well connected by train, it is easy to travel around without even driving (or paying to fly!). Unfortunately the TGV (the high speed train) has not come to Clermont yet...

When Matthew and I agreed to move to France, the number one thing on our list of things we wanted to do was to TRAVEL! We have had some really great trips, and we have several trips lined up for this year that we are really looking forward to!
