Visiting Paris in winter may not be top-of-mind for travelers. And that’s a shame, really. Paris takes on a whole new feel in winter. It’s charming, cozy, fun, unique, and full of sparkly cheer.

Many people take their big Italian vacations during the summer season. After all, the kids are out of school, the days are longer, and many fairs, festivals, and events are happening. You don’t need to hear why planning a summer trip can make a lot of sense.
But if your schedule is flexible, I want to share why you might have an even better experience if you plan to visit Rome in the Fall instead.

Today, you can visit the ruins of Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, and it makes for an easy and fascinating day trip.

This region in France is a fertile agricultural area, as well as home to over 1,000 castles (chateaux in French), so you’ll find a marvelous combination of luxurious palatial estates and gardens, mouth watering cuisine, and delightful wines to sample.
Really, what could be better?
