France

If you’re after something a little more nourishing than a croissant (or simply something that doesn’t make your skinny jeans tremble in fear) we’ve eaten our way through some of the best breakfasts in the City of Light…

There’s just so much more to France than its capital, Paris. Here are six of the country’s most underrated cities – ripe for exploration, and consuming plentiful wine and cheese.

With port cities like Cannes and St Tropez, the Cote d’Azur is hands down one of the most prestigious and luxurious places to sail. Here’s how to do it right.

Sailing the French Riviera is a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. This time, that someone was top UK blogger Macca Sherifi.

Sunshine, retro swimsuits, striped umbrellas, aquamarine Mediterranean waters and coloured cocktails? Welcome to the Cote d’Azur.

Pedalling sets the perfect pace – you travel slowly enough to enjoy your surroundings but fast enough that they’re constantly changing.

Sailing isn’t like it was in the old days. Rates of scurvy have declined. Peg legs are few. No-one really knows what ‘hardtack’ is anymore. On the whole, things have improved.

If you want to know what it looks like to spend 8 days, cruising from Castelnaudary to Homps and sipping champagne between cheese courses…this is it.

Most people come to Paris for croissants, the Moulin Rouge and gloating, in that order. But for history buffs, it’s like walking back in time.
