Trouville-sur-Mer and Deauville out of season: beaches as far as the eye can see
Trouville-sur-Mer is one of the must-sees recommended by Lonely Planet. It is specifically indicated that you have to come here to enjoy the oyster bars. Unfortunately, we were too hungry and ate in the previous stopover town. As a result, this city loses all its interest ahahha 😀 I came to this area with JB a few years ago, but we always chose a rainy/cloudy day out of season to get there. Trouville-sur-Mer and Deauville without tourists, well, they totally lose their charm. I didn’t think I’d ever say it, but I still miss the tourists a bit 🙂 Without them, we miss this “vacations in the sun” atmosphere. There…

Digital Nomad: how to evaluate the quality of a city’s Internet connection before going there?
Digital nomadism is a way of life that offers the incredible luxury of having no geographical constraints. You can work from anywhere. Anywhere? Really? Not quite! It obviously depends on the activity you are doing, but in most cases, you will still need an internet connection with an acceptable speed and it isn’t that obvious. If in France, we are lucky enough to generally have fast Internet connections (in large cities at least), it is far from being systematic everywhere in the world. And the problem is that it’s very difficult to have really reliable information before going there and testing it by yourself. How much internet do we need?…

Rouen – Buying a Bus or Tram Ticket by SMS: practical and efficient
In Rouen, the public transport network is managed by the Réseau Astuce. There are mainly bus lines but also two tramway lines called “Métro”. When I had to go by bus to the car rental agency, I was wondering how I would be able to buy a ticket. In this period of coronavirus, the front entrances of the buses are indeed condemned to protect the driver, impossible to buy a ticket directly in the bus. Upon inquiring, I discovered that there was a simple, fast and efficient way in Rouen: buying tickets by SMS. The principle is childish: when you see your bus or streetcar arriving(and not when you see…

Pont-Audemer (Eure, Normandy): the little Norman Venice
After Le Bec Hellouin and the poppy fields, we continue our little tour in Normandy stopping in Pont-Audemer for lunch. In thisn’t so small village, water is omnipresent, so it is called “the little Norman Venice”. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary We have to admit that we have never been to Venice, so it is impossible for us to confirm if it really looks like it 🙂 The city center is small but very dense, with a lot of traffic. In the surroundings there is even an area with shopping malls. Pont-Audemar is on the list of the “most beautiful detours in France”,…

Poppy fields in Normandy (France) – Travel diary
It’s poppy season! While driving around Rouen, JB and I came across this absolutely incredible field of poppies, like in a dream. I wanted to bring back 2 poppies to use as templates for my paper flowers, but we were having trouble finding a place to stop and pick them. And then we saw this field, absolutely beautiful, on the road between two small villages. I think it is a field left fallow, invaded by wild plants and flowers, to the great delight of the bees. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful field in real life. And then, a little further on, at the edge…

Le Bec-Hellouin (Eure, Normandy): A Village full of charm
We take advantage of our 2.5 months in Rouen to rent a car from time to time and radiate around Rouen.Our 1st destination: Le Bec-Hellouin, one of the most beautiful villages in France, 44 minutes by car from Rouen. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Météo France announces rain everywhere in France but we passed between the drops. If it rained during the first 15 minutes of the trip, we even had a few clearings during our visit. The path leading to the village is already super beautiful, we go along a small beautiful stream, before parking just behind the church. These beautiful half-timbered…

[Test & Review] Quinton Water, a Treasure According to a Shaman
The other day, I was listening to a super interesting podcast about the journey of Corine Sombrun,, a French shaman, when she mentioned a test that had been done on water samples. To scientifically prove her shamanic powers, she was made to do a blind test on a few water samples. Waters whose names and properties she didn’t know… renowned waters, as well as ordinary tap water. She had to communicate with these water samples to tell more about them, a true blind test, without tasting them or anything. Only through trance. She was able to communicate with them effortlessly and could tell whether this water came from underground –…

Opinion: Columbia’s Saturday Trail, Best Women’s World Tour Pants
Even if I have become a digital nomad and do less treks, I still keep the habit of wearing technical clothes, like merino wool tops because they are very breathable. Some of my clothes are even water repellent. And in terms of design, we’re getting better and better. I used to wear Decathlon pants but I didn’t like the texture so I wore my cotton pants as soon as possible and reserved these cardboard pants for real treks. But it’s a shame because it means that there are pants sleeping in the backpack most of the time. And then, I discovered the Saturday Trail model at Columbia (from 31€, Amazon…
