Summary
In this trip report, Annie Sargent is joined by Matthew Gamache, a seasoned traveler to France who began exploring the country with his daughters when they were young—now they're teenagers. The focus of their recent journey was medieval France with teens, featuring visits to several iconic Medieval Cathedrals, the Cluny Museum in Paris that specializes in Medieval art, the Unterlinden Museum with its remarkable Medieval Altarpiece, and Guédelon—a one-of-a-kind project where artisans are constructing a 13th-century-style castle using only period-appropriate techniques and materials.
The adventure unfolded over the last week of June and the first two weeks of July 2023, totaling three weeks—a fantastic duration for a French vacation. To prepare, the family tuned into this podcast, watched YouTube videos, and engaged in family discussions about the sites they were eager to explore. They had a grand time and share their secrets for a successful family vacation in France that includes many off the beaten track locations.
