Made in France: Limousin’s Luxury Goods
Located pretty much in the center of France, Limousin is void of any of France’s famous mountain ranges. Nor are there any of the sigh-inducing beaches of France’s stunning coastlines.

It’s a city well positioned and a stone’s throw from several of France’s most beautiful natural wonders, including one of our favorites: […]
Château d’Agassac: One of the Oldest Château in the Médoc

That castle is Château d’Agassac, one of the oldest château in the Médoc. Not only is Château d’Agassac one of […]
