Here are my favourite resources I use each time I travel!

🧳 I always protected my trips with this travel insurance company when I lived in the US AND this one now I live in Europe​

🚘 I found a car rental for $500 less than traditional sites with this car rental agency​

🚌 🍷 My favourite platform to find Day Trips and Wine Tours in France at the best price and with great reviews 

🚂 The cheapest train tickets are always on this App​

🏨 I got a 20% discount on a chateau hotel with this hotel booking tool​

I personally use these sites myself and if you use them, they will earn me a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps reduce the ever-increasing cost of maintaining my blog and writing about France. Thank you!
