The Good Life France Magazine Spring 2026

In this issue, head south to discover enchanting Uzès, a medieval time warp town, and to the French Riviera to explore beautiful Biot, delicious and arty Mougins in Provence and the lovely Drome region, aka “secret Provence.” Then turn north to explore the tiny village of Gerberoy in Picardy – “France’s smallest town” and fairy tale pretty; and to Burgundy to discover divine Vézelay.

Discover some of France’s greatest showstoppers – Claude Monet’s house and garden in Giverny, Normandy and Marseille – France’s ‘capital of cool’. Seek out hidden gems like Allier in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes to discover where France’s largest collection of musical instruments and stage costumes are displayed, as well as medieval and Belle Epoque towns, a UNESCO World Heritage site – and no crowds. Explore the Belleville Valley in the French Alps, tranquil Tarn, Brittany’s spring delights and the alpine charms of Isère. Also featured are Dordogne, the Loire Valley, Corsica and fabulous Occitanie, plus the latest travel trends for France travellers.

It never ceases to amaze me just how rich the history of France is – and even more so, just how many traces of the past remain, preserved in the many historic buildings in every town and village. In this issue we’ll explore Roman sites across France, look at the life and style of Jules Hardouin-Mansart whose magnificent Baroque architecture is a stunning legacy of the Louis XIV epoch. Discover the history of toile de Jouy – the patterned fabric loved by Queen Marie-Antoinette and still on trend today. And find out about the 1000-year old custom of transhumance that’s still practiced today in France as shepherds and their flocks migrate with the seasons.

Foodies will love the delicious recipes from a scrumptious Tropezienne cake to Provencal classic – beef daube, a true taste of France you can enjoy at home.

And there’s heaps more – from useful guides to what’s new in France.

This issue is packed with informative and inspiring articles, history and culture, mouth-watering recipes from top chefs, plus fantastic photos to transport you straight to France.
