🇫🇷☃️Ce week-end, un premier épisode hivernal a touché le nord-ouest de la France jusqu'au Massif central. Des chutes de neige ont - brièvement - recouvert Paris. Images de la capitale, de la tour Eiffel enneigée à de la luge improvisée à Montmartre ⤵️

Post-tour matcha-latte plus pecan + caramel cookie. Minnaya always hits the spot. Always love showcasing Toulouse's gastronomy to my clients and every end-of-tour handout includes my top tips for the route we've enjoyed.

As August ends it's time to reflect! The summer was full of many life highs but a true magical moment was receiving a 2025 'Traveler's Choice' award. Heartfelt thanks to clients. I do appreciate the time + thought you put into your reviews to help other travellers. #toulouse #france #travel #french
