Our Travelogue

Many (friends and family alike) have encouraged/nudged me to start writing a travelogue on the various places that we have had the opportunity to visit and enjoy as long term residents and as tourists. Till recently, I never thought about doing it for various reasons. Finally decided to go for it and as a first step created a seperate Blog that would only have posts related to travel and places that we enjoyed visiting. Our recent trip to Scotland really inspired me to take this step forward. Hoping that I do justice to the beautiful & amazing experiences that we have had while visiting different places/countries as part of our travels.

For now, the plan is to share only places that we, as a family, have visited/stayed as tourists/residents and talk about our personal experiences, likes/dislikes, craziness, stay/accomodation, food, people and culture (where suitable), travel tips (if any), and anything else that I can relate to while writing about that place. Gave a French name to the blog as a tribute to our rich life in France and also to the fact that we travelled the maximum (right way to say it would be - we caught the travel bug) while we were in France, Europe.

Hope this effort also turns out to be as enjoyable and as relaxing as my other blog proves to be, for me personally, and hopefully for you readers as well.

Edinburgh & Scottish Islands

Beautiful streets of Edinburgh One of our half term vacation was a 4 day trip to the wonderful city of Edinburgh and a day trip to Scottish Highlands by road. We took the Virgin train to Edinburgh from King’s Cross, London. The ride was 5 hours long but we did not feel the strain of that long a journey due to lush green countryside that whizzed past the train window during the entire time of the journey. I carried a book to keep me occupied during the train journey (both for onward and return) but never got to read even a single page as the beauty of Scotland was mesmerising. Edinburgh  is the capital of Scotland and is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. It has been the centre of education (specifically in the fields of medicine, Scots Law, sciences & engineering.). The city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most popular tourist destination after London, attracting over one million o

Lyon is the third-largest city of France (south of Paris, north of Marseille), located in the country's east-central part at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône. The people of this city are called Lyonnais. This city is known for its cuisine and gastronomy, museums and historical & architectural landmarks including Vieux Lyon (old city), which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site [ 1 ]. Having lived in this city for 3 years, we have had the pleasure of enjoying what Lyon has to offer during each season and festivities. It’s close proximity to French cities like Paris, Nice, Monaco and countries like Switzerland (Geneva), Spain (Barcelona),  Austria (Vienna) etc. enabled us to enjoy these places as a tourists as well. Lyon is well connected with metro, trams and buses. Here are a few things that you can enjoy when you are in Lyon. Parc de la Tête d'Or ("Park of the Golden Head"), is a large urban park within the city, loca
