Because the sun appears less often here than in the south, some people think of Nord-Pas de Calais as a gloomy region. They have clearly never paid it a visit: it’s probably one of the jolliest regions in France, and always ready to celebrate. Parades, carnivals, fairs and fanfares – good habits endure in this land of memory, bristling with belfries. To get the right feel for the region’s spirit, you need to join the crowd during the great collective celebrations, and share their meals based on seafood – the famous moules-frites, the traditional waterzoï (a court-bouillon of fish and chicken) – washed down with some of the local beer. It’s a lively region where tradition is part of daily life – a region open to the major capitals cities of Europe such a short distance away! (more…)

Suddenly, I know how Posh feels – what to wear to the airport? Not, in my case, because I need to assemble yet another fabulous couture ensemble for the awaiting paparazzi, but because it’s one of those scorching late September days Britain sometimes serves up by way of apology for another underwhelming summer. And I’m going snowboarding.

The donjon of Crest Castle in the Drôme Valley is the highest medieval keep in France. The tower can be scaled by stairs while abseiling is at times allowed from the top.
The medieval keep of the castle in Crest is at 52 m the highest surviving donjon in France. The castle tower can be scaled via staircases for great views of Crest and the Drôme River and on summer weekends it is possible to abseil from the top. As only the keep survived from the original huge fortress, the building is referred to as La Tour de Crest (tower) rather than Château de Crest (castle). Crest is in the Drôme Valley and a great day-trip from Grenoble, Valence, Chambéry, and French Alpine ski resorts. (more…)
