Restless Jo has nominated me as part of the booked.net challenge to list 5 places I’d be happy to go back to. Whilst I’m not going to enter the competition myself, I thought it was a very interesting idea for a blog post and I’d be happy for Jo if she was selected as the winner! …
Yesterday was a rather fraught day in Le Chic household. Due to an unfortunate accident which resulted in La Chic Maman badly wrenching her ankle and knee, Grand-maman Le Chic was called into action to babysit La Petite, my adorable 18 month old granddaughter. Suffice to say my intended blog post went by the wayside. …
And so after our delightful train ride over the Brenner Pass (see Railway Adventures Part 1) we arrived in Bolzano/Bozen! As we stepped out of the station our first impressions were that we were definitely south of the Alps – there was a distinct Italian flavour about the place! It was mild and sunny, the …
I’ve always loved rail travel. It just seems like such a civilised way to get about. No “driving” hassles trying to keep your eye on the road if you’re driving or ascertaining your whereabouts if you’re the passenger (map reading is not my forte nor is trying to work out a Sat Nav system). You …

Tomorrow is an exciting day in the household of “La Famille Chic” as our elder daughter La Chic Maman is getting married 30 years to the day since Monsieur Le Chic and yours truly walked down the aisle… mais oui c’est vrai! Since we had our honeymoon in Paris, I thought a little piece on …
I always love watching the Tour de France not because I am particularly passionate about cycling (though you do build up quite a bit of technical knowledge watching it over the years!) but because I adore looking at the scenery. This year for the first time ever, the first 2 stages of the Tour have …
When I first visited Vienna with Monsieur le Chic we were impoverished backpackers so poor that we couldn’t actually afford to go round any of the museums or palaces. I remember peering wistfully through the park railings at Schoenbrunn Palace then turning round and going back the way we came on the Metro line. Fast …
One of the reasons we love Switzerland so much is the wonderful way you hardly need to plan anything and yet with the efficiency of the Swiss transport system it all works like a Swiss watch with precision timing. We had a perfect example of this on our recent stay at Weggis on Lake Lucerne. …
We just love Switzerland and Lake Lucerne is one of our special places. We stumbled across this little slice of heaven on earth a few years back and have come back to it on many occasions. This post is just a taster of my take on Switzerland with more to follow!
