I’ve been saying this for years but this past summer we really started talking seriously about it. Ideally would love to do this when Camille is in kindergarten so she can start school in France! I’d also like to improve my French before we would do this, and then practice it by immersion.

Where would you love to spend a year abroad? 🌍 

📍Baie des Singes, Les Goudes Marseille 🇫🇷

I was lucky to see a lot of beautiful views in 202 I was lucky to see a lot of beautiful views in 2022 but if I had to pick a favorite, sunsets on the Frioul islands off the coast of Marseille were unreal. 🤩

While we had visted the island in previous years, we never stayed there until this year when we rented a quaint and cozy AirBnB within a 3 minute walk of this beach and spectacular sunset watching spot 🌅 

You can reach the Frioul islands by ferry boat, there are several that leave each day from the Vieux Port and it takes about 15-20 minutes.

Where did you find your best view of 2022?

😬🙋🏻‍♀️ What can I say, it was love 😬🙋🏻‍♀️ What can I say, it was love at first sight! 😍🇫🇷

Have you ever been to a place you loved so much that it became ingrained in your personality? While the South of France has a very special place in my heart, I love incorporating elements of all my travels in my life at home if I can - connecting with places and memories that have touched me, even when I’m not on the move, brings me so much joy.

My favorite ways to connect with my favorite places at home👇🏻

👩‍🍳 Recreating Cuisine & Enjoying regional wine
🎨 Displaying Art or souvenirs from location
📺 Watching shows 📚or reading books set abroad
🎶 Listening to music from destination or trip

How do you make your favorite place part of your life?

If you love Provence like me, I have a blog post all abo it how to live the South of France lifestyle at home! Link in bio 😊 @alliemarietravels
