My visual of France was first painted by Clementine in the Kitchen (By Samuel V. Chamberlain) which I'm sure you've read. Seems like it would be a pre-requisite with your travels--have you been to that little town of Senlis? A few years later, my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago, starting in St. Jean Pied de Port and my edible memory is of a plate of carne. We were stiff, starved and drowsy from the overnight flight and it was my birthday. We ordered the plate of meat and two beers which were served in glasses so big that an elephant could have been properly hydrated. We spent just a few nights in France before crossing the Pyrenees but I'd definitely like to see (and taste) Corsica. Thanks for the tasting notes!
Great travel recommendations in a timely moment for France. Corsica is now on my list. Loved seeing the images of Dun and my fav d’Orsay, and of course proud of the references to Rhone wines and to history like the Battle of Hastings. As always the food tips are delish.
I will be traveling to France for a hiking trip
beginning on Avignon in September. This article really gives me inspiration for my trip! I have not been to France before.

Inspiring article - I've visited France many, many times and Normandy and Provence remain among my favorite regions!
