The Good Life France Magazine Autumn 2026
Come with us to Paris for a glorious tour of some of the best things to see and do; to the sun-kissed vineyards of Provence; and Tours in the Loire Valley – and find out why it’s officially a French City of Gastronomy. Discover the palm-tree filled town of Hyères in Le Var, southern France; the cobbled lanes and timeless charm of medieval Noyers in Burgundy; Golfe-Juan Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Mediterranean glamour meets a rich artistic heritage; and beautiful Grignan in the Drôme with its dazzling chateau surrounded by lavender fields.
Discover Périgueux in the Dordogne; wander the harbour of Honfleur in Normandy; soak up the southern atmosphere of Sète; visit historic Quimper in Brittany; and breathe in the Atlantic air at Les Sables-d’Olonne.
Head to a part of France you wouldn’t immediately associate with vineyards – the far north where wine growing is making a fascinating resurgence. Visit the Royal Monastery of Brou – the “Taj Mahal of France”; and discover the macabre history of Corsica, the island of Paradise. And in Orléans, meet talented craftspeople practising the centuries-old arts of glassmaking, bookbinding and luthiery – the painstaking craft of making and restoring stringed instruments. We take a closer look at the extraordinary art of French trompe l’œil, where artists turn ordinary walls and façades into wonderful optical illusions. Find out how the French celebrate Halloween and step inside the magnificent Château de Brissac, said to be the most haunted château in France.
Alongside all that travelling and culture, you’ll find our practical guides packed with useful advice, plus delicious French recipes from top chefs to bring a little taste of France into your own kitchen.
