Sharing the journey of becoming an expat and the growth that comes with it.
Why Champagne? Well, why not? This was planned somewhat spontaneously. We’ve come to appreciate that several places in France are 4 or less hours away. Totally drive-able for quick trips. Josh and I both enjoy Champagne wines, and it has been a bucket list item for us to go, taste, and also cycle in the region. We checked all those boxes and I’m happy to say it lived up to the self-created hype in our minds.
Sometimes Josh gets an itch to get out of town and this trip was exactly that. He started researching national parks within a drivable distance and settled on the Voges du Nord area of France, about a 3.5 drive (4 with kids) from Maastricht. He found a cute small hotel with good reviews in the village of La Petite-Pierre and we packed our bags.
We get many of the same questions when we tell people our plan to live in Maastricht for the year…here’s the answers.
I can’t tell you the last time we did a trip so spontaneously. I think it has been at least a decade. But we decided on Thursday to leave Friday for Paris. How’d it go?
