Bonjour and welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Elisa, and I am a French travel writer and founder of France Bucket List.
World traveler, bon-vivant apprentice, and French wine ambassador (not necessarily in this order), I live in Paris.
I travel in France all year round, sharing my best findings, cultural events, and top tips in this blog and its weekly newsletter. Let me show you my beautiful country : -)
I also have a blog about Paris Travel and a very active Facebook Group about France travel planning and inspiration.
After working as an architect and later as a planning engineer for international projects, I decided to turn my blogs into my main job. I have been a full-time travel writer for the past 2 years, and I have written about Paris and France for publications such as Make Time To See The World, Love and Road, and Travel Passionate.
In addition to my love for France and travel (I have visited 90+ countries and counting!), I like photography, history, and architecture. I also love French wine, and in 2024, I got the diploma of French Wine Ambassador of Ecole de Vins et Spiritueux in Paris. Currently, I am studying for the WSET exams also in Paris.
Unlike other travel blogs run by influencers or Instagrammers, I prefer to stay behind the scenes — you won’t find many pictures of me in the blog. In France Bucket List, France is the star, and I am just the narrator, but I am always happy to chat with you and answer your questions in the Facebook Group or via private travel consultations.
What to Expect
France Bucket List is a Travel Blog about France, 100% made in France. It is written by Elisa (me), a French travel blogger based in Paris, France.
My local perspective, knowledge of the French language, culture, and costumes, and the constant feedback on what matters to you via the travel consultations and Facebook group have helped me create a France travel blog that is useful, updated, and inspiring.
Are you planning to visit France soon? I’m here to help you plan the trip of a lifetime through France travel inspiration and my best tips.
I am sure you have heard about the French Riviera, the Loire Valley Castles, or Mont Saint-Michel, but there are many other fantastic things to do and visit up and down the country. Follow this France travel blog!
France Bucket List is a list with bits of France rather than a guide to French destinations. You will find my favorite spots, unusual attractions, and gorgeous hotels for a memorable trip to France.
France Bucket List also includes France Overseas. Explore the French departments and other French territories worldwide, a different France with an exotic twist!
My France Bucket List is very dynamic. I expect to cross-check many items soon, but I also want to add new ones. Follow me on this unique French trip of a lifetime!
