It’s about what we look for and our state of mind when we travel to places. It’s helpful to experience everything a country has to offer; then we can properly appreciate it. With that in mind, here are some wonderful things to see and do in France.

I know what it's like to go from being a crazy backpacker without a care in the world, via being a vaguely sensible parent to being an adventurer once more. In other words, evolving into a Grown-up Traveller.
