After publishing four books on trips to India in 2007, to South Africa and Seychelles in 2010, to Spain between 2004 and 2019, and to Portugal between 1996 and 2018, we now turn to our travel memories pertaining to France. For that we will need more than one book. This first book on France focuses on the Southwest and covers five trips taken in 1998, 2001, 2008, 2017, and 2019. Overall, they cover the regions of Dordogne, Gascogne, Basque Country and the areas around Bordeaux and Toulouse.
