About us
This website was built, researched and maintained by Raymond Harding. I am a New Zealander currently living in Paris, France. My wife and I have lived here for more than a year and have tried to travel and explore extensively in Paris, around France and through Europe.
Paris is a fantastic place to visit. It is a city of amazing architecture, fantastic food, sublime sights and enough museums to keep you busy for some time. While there is much more to France than Paris, it is often hard to know what is available, where it is, and how you can get there. Especially if you are just in Paris for a short period of time and you don't have a car. This website is designed to help you explore more of France using Paris as your home base.
If you are in Paris for a much longer time, or have moved there permanently, it can still be hard to know where to go, what is worth seeing outside of Paris, and how to get there. We have always struggled to find a single website which gives good information on interesting places to visit. We love to travel both around France and through Europe however, it is not always easy finding somewhere to go just for the day or the weekend.
This website is designed for people who are either visiting or living in Paris and are looking for day trips, weekend options, short breaks, or just an afternoon somewhere different. What makes this website unique is that it is 100% based on our personal experience travelling from Paris to other places. We have sought out interesting places to go and figured out how to get there using public transport (as we do not own a car). All opinions on this website are ours, they are based on our experiences on visiting these places. We do not accept advertisements or funding from activities or places for reviews.
