New on the blog! A post to save for when planning your next trip to France and a garden to tour is a must-do! ➡️ 18 Gardens to Visit Throughout France (outside of Paris)

To visit a garden, open to the public, and have it

To visit a garden, open to the public, and have it all to yourself, that is never anticipated and when it does, oh goodness, what a special occasion to savor.

Now on the blog a tour of my visit to @parc_botanique_haute_bretagne back in March (2025) during my #tsllfrance2025 trip and why I look forward to returning.

Happy Friday! And happy This & That Day on the blog! Stop by and discover ⤵️

Oodles of books this week, many longlisted for awards and others bestsellers. And the topics are wide-ranging: non-fiction and fiction, plus one cookbook for delicious simple desserts. Also! Many fall capsule wardrobe finds as promised that are trends worth investing in, and at wonderfully reasonable prices. There are three films of note, each premiering today, one an adaptation of a film first debuting in 1979 based on a bestselling book published in 1901, the other takes us New York City and the other documentary is drawing applause. Still there is more!
