France
Written By Bjorn Thorvaldsson
Every time I go to France I like it more. I went there for a summer vacation almost 30 years ago and had an “interesting” time, to say the least. I found the French rude and unfriendly, the food disappointing, and driving there was simply dangerous. I started going again 15 years ago, and have since been there multiple times on long vacations and now find it my favorite destination.
This second Covid summer we rented a large house in Marcoussis,a suburb just south of Paris. Things were finally opening up a bit, but there were still almost no tourists. A very good time to be in France, with just the locals and us.
