I’m always researching unique and inspiring destinations around the world for my new globally syndicated TRAVEL THERAPY TV & online video series featuring top places to go based on what you’re going through in life. So when I heard just how special the French Rhone Alpes region is, boasting more than sixty Michelin starred restaurants, world-class resorts, award-winning wineries and new exciting spas, I knew it was a place I had to check out.
Since I’m all about the culinary experience for this TRAVEL THERAPY trip I flew Air France’s new business class service where on all long-haul flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle you’re able to enjoy exclusive signature dishes designed by Guy Martin, who is a Michelin starred chef at the Grand Vefour restaurant. I loved his sauteed shrimp with pasta shells and zucchini caviar with a coconut sauce enhanced with Espelette chili pepper.
Of course I probably should have just gone with a simple salad after indulging during my stay in the Rhone Alpes but what fun would that have been?
Besides the Rhone Alpes amazing restaurants I also checked out some top French spas and stayed at several great resorts, including Georges Blanc Parc & Spa where the spa treatments and meals were pure bliss.
When visiting the Rhone Alpes perhaps the biggest challenge is deciding what to do because you really do have so many fantastic options. To help you plan your own amazing trip check out my latest TRAVEL THERAPY video featuring the top 12 reasons to visit the French Rhone Alpes.
