In this trip report, Annie Sargent is joined by Matthew Gamache, a seasoned traveler to France who began exploring the country with his daughters when they were young—now they're teenagers. The focus of their recent journey was medieval France with teens, featuring visits to several iconic Medieval Cathedrals, the Cluny Museum in Paris that specializes in Medieval art, the Unterlinden Museum with its remarkable Medieval Altarpiece, and Guédelon—a one-of-a-kind project where artisans are constructing a 13th-century-style castle using only period-appropriate techniques and materials. The adventure unfolded over the last week of June and the first two weeks of July 2023, totaling three weeks—a fantastic duration for a French vacation. To prepare, the family tuned into this podcast, watched YouTube videos, and engaged in family discussions about the sites they were eager to explore. They had a grand time and share their secrets for a successful family vacation in France that includes many off the beaten track locations.

Do you need some inspiration for healthy meals at home? Listen to this episode! Annie Sargent and Sarala Terpstra geek out about French food and how to make it vegan. Tips for home cooks and vegan visitors who love French food. Keep in mind that a lot of classic French recipes that are vegan to begin with, do you know which ones? #joinusinfrance #vegan #recipes Sarala's and Annie's Cookbooks Sarala's cookbook: Vegan French Favorites: 30 Beloved French Recipes Reimagined Annie's cookbook: Join Us at the Table: Easy French Recipes Anyone Can Make at Home How about vegan visitors in France? Vegans visiting France can find many food options, especially in big cities. But inexpensive restaurants don't try to make classic French food vegan. Instead, they'll serve you curries or poke bowls, etc. The more expensive restaurants work harder at adapting French food to be, but it's a lot more work than making a basic vegan curry. Michelin Bib restaurants are especially good for vegans looking for an upscale meal in France.

The 5th arrondissement in Paris is one of Annie's favorites. It also goes by the name Latin Quarter which is its historical name. Visitors don't need to worry too much about different names used in this area because often in Paris you change neighborhood just by crossing the street! Good budget hotel at the edge of the Latin Quarter and Saint Germain des Prés: Le Petit Belloy. The rooms are tiny, but if you can get room 602 or room 603 you'll see the Eiffel Tower from your tiny balcony! Latin Quarter Highlights If you're facing the famous bookstore called Shakespeare and Company, you have Notre Dame Cathedral behind you and to your left. To explore the Latin Quarter you'll walk along the Seine river between the bookstore and all the way to the Jardin des Plantes. Along the way you'll come across many "bouquinistes" and their little green book stalls that have been around for over 100 years. The bouquinistes have morphed into souvenir stands to some degree. These are concession stands and some have been in the same hands for a long time. You walk past the Jardin des Plantes and then you take a right. Along the way you'll walk by Quai Saint Bernard along the Jardin des Plantes and there are often groups of dancers doing the tango. You'll also walk by the Institut du Monde Arabe and its marvelous panoramic terrace that you can access for free. You'll get a great view of the backside of Notre Dame from that terrace. The Jardin des Plantes Is a Must-See with Children If you're with children you MUST spend some time at the Jardin des Plantes. Not to be missed is the Galerie de l'Evolution where the building itself is stunning and it's a great place to show how animals have changed over time. The Galerie de Minéralogie is also wonderful. There's a zoo, the garden is beautiful, there are often amazing temporary exhibits. It's free for children but it's not included in the Museum Pass. It is still totally worth it! There are food trucks and lots of places to have a picnic. La Grande Mosquée de Paris This mosque was built by the city of Paris to honor the Muslim soldiers who fought with France during WW1. They are closed on Friday and close at various times during the day. The gardens are beautiful, the restaurant Aux Portes de l'Orient that serves great North African food. Marché Monge This is one of the quaintest outdoor markets in Paris. It's occupies place Monge, you can get there on the metro because it has its own stop. The market is open Wed, Fri and Sat in the morning. It's not very big, about 40 stalls. Arènes de Lutèce Right off rue Monge at number 49 you'll find the entrance to the Arènes de Lutèce. It looks like the entrance to a building, but it is your way into what's left of the old Paris Roman arena. It's a popular place for locals to hang out. You can climb all around. It's not the biggest Roman arena, but it's a fun stop. Place Maubert There is another food market on this plaza, it happens on on Tue, Thu and Sat, also in the morning. Mostly food and a cute place. There are all sorts of food shops that are permanently there. La Sorbonne On rue des Écoles you'll find an old American diner called Breakfast in America and a boulangerie called Paris and Company that won the prize for best baguette in Paris in 2019. La Sorbonne is nearby but you can't visit it unless you have an appointment. It's pretty to look around. Make sure to walk to place de la Sorbonne The Pantheon This monument is on a lot of people's list. It started out as a church but was quickly turned into a monument to the memory of great French men. And for a long time it was men only. Voltaire, Rousseau, Zola, and a lot of completely unknown generals. I don't think they would ever put a general in the Pantheon today. They are looking for people who have made other sorts of contributions to French life. Saint Etienne du Mont Church One of the most beautiful churches in Paris. The church is also very famous because the steps on its side are featured in the movie Midnight in Paris. That's where Gill sits to wait for the magic car. There are stained glass windows that you can see at eye level in this church. It is a gem. Rue Mouffetard and Plade de la Contrescarpe This is a narrow partially pedestrian street that has a wonderful vibe. Half way down you'll run into place de la Contrescarpe, with fun cafés and restaurants. Ernest Hemmingway lived nearby. There is a plaque on 74 rue du Cardinal Lemoine. It's an interesting area. Rue du Pot de Fer also has a lot of restaurants. More Latin Quarter Highlights to Visit Also worth a stop is the Musée Marie Curie.  The Jardin du Luxembourg is nearby and also definitely a wonderful place to visit. The Cluny Museum is one of the best Museums in Paris. It is closed as I release this episode. The highlights there is the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry and the heads chopped off Notre Dame. Place Saint Michel has a lovely statue of Michael slaying the dragon. This is a famous meeting place. Bâteaux Parisiens has a stop by Notre Dame where you can take a cruise. Vedettes de Paris are near the Pont Neuf. Email | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Twitter   Did you get my VoiceMap Paris tours yet?

And for people who have never been to Paris, what a great way to see Paris for the first time" --Steven Struck, Inaugural Tour member What You Will Learn About in this Episode 4'30 While leading the Inaugural Tour we ran into a lot of tour groups where there were so many people that it was just a one-way conversation.  It's like factory tourism. What we're doing is totally different because our groups are so small. 5'16 Touring with Annie and Elyse is like touring with family. 5'50 Because group members chose us based on the podcast, they were looking forward to it and knew what they were getting into. 6'20 We had group members from all over the US, we also had various ages, and it all worked out really well. 7'10 Our next Paris Tour is going to be October 1st through Oct 7th 2017 and we hope to announce 4 more Paris tours in 2018 as well. 8'50 Our tour started by going to a wine bar called Chez Nous, followed by a river Cruise on the Seine River. Next time we'll probably start a little earlier on Sunday and visit the Luxembourg Gardens. 9'45 Two guys who thought the Luxembourg Gardens were ugly. When you look at something with no context, it's hard to see the beauty or appreciate anything. 11'30 On Monday we didn't start too early 12' We lucked out on all the places we went to eat. Annie's goal was to keep it around 15€-20€ for lunch and 30€-35€ for dinner. We were looking for good value and we found it! 13' France is not a good place to keep a strict diet. No vacation is good for your diet, reallay, is it? We eat a lot of meat and dairy in France. Lots of duck and lamb, fish (fish is usually the "diet" choice on a French menu). But we also don't eat fried food very much in France. 17' We'll be looking for a good audio solution to use all the time. We had a whisper system in some of the museums, but even there, they limit you to a specific amount of time. So we'll be looking for a good solution. 17'50 Monday activities: Conciergerie (where Marie-Antoinette was held before she was beheaded), Sainte-Chapelle, restaurant Saint-Régis. 19' Annie being recognized by her voice, an eerie experience for sure! 20'41 Notre Dame, Place de la Concorde, the Orangerie. "Droit de parole" complications. They give you an appointment at a specific time, which is not always suitable. 22' Tuesday: Orsay Museum which isn't very big as far as Paris museums are concerned. Lunch by the big clock. Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysées. In future tours we will do a drive by night that will include all the big sights of Paris by night. 25' Wednesday: Louvre Museum. If you want to have some peace in the Louvre you have to get off the beaten track and choose other pieces that are of interest to you ahead of time. There are lovely sections of decorative arts, music, Egypt, Roman and Greek, Babylonian, Islamic Arts, etc. Next time we do a tour we will spend a little time with each participant to help them decide about a good section for them so they can go explore that part and enjoy the Louvre with some peace and quiet. 29'30 Montmartre: Annie is not in love with the area, it's too touristy and crass. Elyse will plan a different itinerary where we don't spend so much time in the middle of the crowds. Wine tasting with a sommelier. Next time we'll take the time to have dinner right after the wine tasting. 31'20 Thursday: Opéra Garnier, Galleries Lafayettes, Musée Rodin, then we went to Montparnasse, ate at a crêperie, we got soaked that night. 34'20 Friday: Marais walk with Elyse, lunch at l'As du Fallafel, Picasso Museum, dinner at Bouillon Racine on rue Racine. 37'40 Saturday: we split up that day. Annie went to Père Lachaise and Steve from Florida helped greatly because of his surveyor powers. Elyse went to the Pantheon, Sorbonne, Saint-Eitenne-du-Mont church, the Cluny Museum and the Latin Quarter in general. Then we all met together at the Centre Pompidou which was an add-on, and had some free time. 45'30 Next time we will add more shopping time and we'll give people the choice of two different shopping areas. We'll also add some time at a flea market or food market and a drive by night Uber ride around Paris. Next time we'll choose a concert with more approachable music, probably not Notre Dame. 48'40 We will also add some excursions one day before the tour and another after the tour. We'll do a day at Giverny on the Saturday before the Tour and a whole day at Versaille on the Sunday after the Tour. For 2018 we'll set some dates for a Tour in April, another for May, then one in September and one in October. We won't do a Tour in July and August because it's too hot and June is too busy in Paris. 55' Annie didn't grow up wanting to be someone who evangelizes about France and a tour organizer, but Paris small group tours are so much fun, this is something worth investing time into. 56'38 Thank you for your support new Patreon donors Nancy Calkins, Todd Costella, and Stephanie Ellis. Thank you also Sophia Semensky and Paul Goess for tipping your guide. 58'37 Feedback on the previous episode on using Uber in Paris: using Uber between Disneyland and Paris city center. They had a really good experience using Uber in Paris, but it is true that most Uber drivers in Paris do not speak English. They had one bad experience with an Uber driver who never showed up at all and they grabbed a taxi instead. The Uber to get back to the airport to go home went well, but the ride took 1.5 hrs because the traffic was heavy. Feedback on the Inaugural Tour from Steven Struck, his impressions and experience as a tour member. He also shares about his experiences moving to France.   THANK YOU for listening to the show!

In episode 8 of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast we take you on a walking tour of the Cluny Museum in Paris also called the Musée National du Moyen Age. This museum is a lesser known jewel, and well-worth a visit. There you will see The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry, the Roman Baths, the stained glass up-close and the statue heads from Notre Dame that angry revolutionaries had thrown in the Seine river.
