The French government has decided to create a new seal of approval for the French restaurants…one more: you can tell we are in France: everything is complicated and any branch decision has to come from the government.

The main objective is commendable: find out if you go to a restaurant where they actually cook the food or if they buy “already made” dishes, sauces, deserts, etc.  This is a good thing, especially for travelers to France, who are going only once to each of the restaurant so you want it to be perfect!

This is why, we always test the restaurants we recommend to our travelers…But that’s a hard work (just kidding) and the quality of a restaurant can drop from a day to another…just because the Chef resigned.

In any case, when you travel to France, you want to stay in comfortable hotels and accommodations…and eat delicious fresh food. Now forget for a while Trip Advisor’s howl and look for this logo on the restaurants’ doors!!

 

 

As we are in France, many people are already complaining that the way the new decree is drafted will bring a lot of confusion and some room for cheaters…but again, we are in France, people complain, that’s normal!

Not a problem, we will all bring back together around a glass of rosé wine as the temperature is about 95°F all over the country today.

Bon Apétit!

France Just For You is a service I highly recommend regardless of how much experience you have traveling through France. Emilie does an amazing job of putting together an exciting and interesting itinerary, taking you to places and meeting people you would never find on your own.

Laura and Emilie started working with us to develop a trip in July of 2020, but the trip had to be postponed because of COVID. Nonetheless they kept everything in place and made some modifications so that the trip could take place this October and November. They were always responsive and helpful with our questions and concerns. All of the …

We have just returned from a road trip around France and with Emilie's help, we had one of the best trips we've ever had. We travel extensively and I normally do my own research and bookings because we don't like using formal , organised tours and we were looking for advice on self driving holidays in France. Emilie's attention to detail is …

There are not enough superlatives for our experience with Emilie. Prompt correspondence and thorough questions led to the perfect vacation for my family. Her choice of hotels in Paris and Provence were exactly what I would have chosen on my own. Her tour guide recommendations were spot on. The fact that she arranged all of our transfers, train …
