Bee happy ..... visit France

I had to share these rooms with you, they were too gorgeous not to!
 
Been to France for a couple of long weekends and these were the rooms we had in different chateaus.
 
Beautiful!
 
 
Red and white toile.

We had a great time and had some dry and sunny weather, in Chantilly the temperature was 24 degrees. The chateau was just gorgeous and we more or less had the gardens to ourselves most of the time. In Switzerland there was still snow laying around but is wasn't too cold.

Are you planning a holiday or road trip?

Bee happy ..... back from another roadtrip

Been on holiday, another road trip, just love them!
 
Switzerland

View from car while driving the Alp roads into Italy from Switzerland

Alp roads, just like in the original film The Italian Job

Lots of tunnels

Driving through Italy to Lake Como

The hotel at the side of Lake Como which we found.

Lake Como

Gorgeous room in Italy


Our room had a balcony, just love these shutters



Hotel grounds in Lake Como

More tunnels

We started our holiday in Reims, France and then onto Switzerland.

We drove the Alp roads into Northern Italy with a view to finding some James Bond locations in Lake Como. Managed to stay in the hotel at the side of one location, where James is recovering in Casino Royale when the Swiss banker visits for the money code.

After Lake Como we drove through Liechtenstein and then Austria onto Stuttgart, Germany to visit the Porsche museum.

On to Reims again and then back home. We couldn't leave Reims without buying champagne!

Now I am back I can't wait to catch up with you all and start crafting again.
