Beyond the Best of France with Lisa Friend and Gabe Gunnink
Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on June 15, 2026.
World-class cities, honey-colored hill towns, oceans of vineyards, and l'art de vivre tempt travelers to France again and again. But once you've met the Mona Lisa, ogled Loire Valley chateaux, and strutted Nice promenades, where do you adventure in France? MNT hosts Lisa and Gabe team up to provide itinerary inspiration to satisfy France's back door travelers. We enjoy half-timbered quaintness in Dinan, Brittany's best medieval town, and unwind at Saint-Malo, a true Breton beach resort. Then we head south to Languedoc-Roussillon (think Provence without the crowds) to explore the riverside city of Albi, and end our journey frolicking in calanques along the shores of charming Cassis.
