Start Dreaming of France Travel in 2025!

If you’re thinking about travel for 2025, Oliver’s France has some suggestions for you. It’s not too early to explore what you want to do. Southeast? Northwest? Paris and day trips from there?

Take some time over the holidays to peruse a few of the many fabulous places in France, places you’ve heard about and always wanted to go.

First, have a look at some of the posts on Oliver’s France. They’re grouped by region. This list includes only a few in each region, mind you, but they’ll get you started. There are many more posts for all kinds of information you’re looking for. Just click on a title and learn more!

Then, for the planning aspect, think about a travel journal where you can jot down your dreams and ideas, then make them concrete with your research. Note your information in the lightweight, compact journal just in case your phone is broken, or you don’t have internet access. (It happens. Ask me how I know…) It includes checklists for your planning and packing, a place to jot down memories, phone numbers, apartment codes, train numbers…

Planning and Making Memories: A Travel Journal (see excerpt here)

This is the guide I want to have when I travel. It keeps everything in one place, whether important details (like the addresses of my hotels), emergency phone numbers, seat numbers on the train, reflections about a town, check lists, and a lot more. It’s also a journal. More on that…

You might plan to put travel details in your phone. Of course, you can do that (especially e-tickets), but it doesn’t hurt to have a backup of physical paper with this information, in case you have connectivity problems upon arrival. This happens more often than you’d expect while you’re traveling. It’s happened to me numerous times. I repeat, it can happen. Back it up in the journal.

Or maybe you won’t want to rummage in your phone for every little thing. Whip out your travel journal instead and it’s all there. (It’s also small and light to carry.) Personally, I also take a print copy of all train and flight itineraries and hotel info, but that’s up to you. It can’t hurt to have surplus backup information when you’re in a foreign country!
