A travel & food blog from Andi Fisher - Merry musings of a feisty food slash globe-trotting wannabe Frenchie!
Is there any place on Earth that screams glamour more than the city of Cannes on the French Riviera? With its luxury shops, palatial hotels and gourmet restaurants, not to mention golden beaches filled with bikini-clad sunbathers, playboys cruising about in luxury cars and of course the annual film festival, the place is something of [...]
I was looking through some photos for Highlights I was creating for my AFAR Wanderlists when I ran across this one of the sunroom inside the Chateau Richeux. I do wish they would hurry up with that whole Star Trek transporter thing, or even the holodeck, so that I can curl up with a book [...]
I learned to ski for the first time when I was sixteen. My parents took my sister and I to one of those Warren Miller films tours and signed us up for lessons at Snoqualmie in Washington state. Being the (non)-athlete I was, I sucked and after that first year of lessons promptly forgot everything [...]
Jennifer started appearing on Misadventures with Andi in various forms in May of 2010. I had been reading her blog, Chez Loulou, for several months, fascinated by her dedication to French cheeses.

In doing so, you’ll find world-class exhibits in abundance and get an amazing insight into the region’s history. Avignon One place where [...]
I love booking a cheap hotel in Paris and spending a few days exploring a new part of the French capital every time I visit. From the iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower to famous tourist attractions, such as the Louvre, there’s so much to enjoy. Nowhere is this more true than Montmartre, the most bohemian corner [...]
If you are planning to go to Paris you must know the city is well known for its pastries, so taking your time to have breakfast there can be considered one of the things on your “to-do” list while in the city. To be honest most Parisians don’t have a big breakfast, usually a quick [...]
By all rights I should be on a cleanse this weekend. That statement in and of itself cracks me up because I am writing it after just returning from dim sum. For the second time this week. That’s right I have officially earned the badge of “glutton” with all the eating I did this past [...]
