5 incredible Elopement spots in France
Oh wow where to start! The French savoir vivre doesn’t only make it a perfect holiday destination but also the perfect wedding destination. The country is incredible for elopements and destination weddings of any sort, thanks to their diverse nature and rich culture. On the French coastline, you will find pristine white beaches, and with a little luck, remote spots hidden away from the crowds of tourists that frequent these beaches in summer. The mountains are your calling? Fall in love with the French Alps and explore hidden valleys and great peaks with a stunning view. France really has it all, even volcanos, canyons and incredible beautiful castles. You didn’t know?
For everyone who knows me or has red some of my blogs knows that one of the most important things during traveling is food to me. Foodies can find their jam in France (literally!): You won’t have to search long to find an artisan bakery that sells fresh buttery croissants, crispy baguettes, and sugary eclairs. Finish your day with the taste of local wine, a cheese board, and some friendly chats with locals - or in solitude if you prefer! That sounds like you?
