Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Best Advice For Booking A Vacation Rental in France

By Erik Simonsen

If you're looking for a holiday cottage in France, perhaps the hardest aspect is trying to decide between the various regions on offer. French fashion, perfume, gastronomy and wine are famous all over the world, but there is nothing next to going there to see for yourself. Apart from the capital city of Paris, France has so much to offer, that it is impossible to experience it all in just a one or two week stay in a holiday cottage in France.

France is certainly a country of contrasts, from the snowy mountain peaks of the Alps to the warm, sunny beaches lapped by the Mediterranean. You don't have to travel far inland to experience an almost fairy tale like landscape of stunning castles, exquisite mansion estates and exotic vineyards. Whichever of France's spectacular landscapes you prefer, staying in a holiday cottage in France is an experience that will take you far away.

Towards the north westerly area of France you will be able to enjoy either Brittany or Normandy. Both are well known for cattle breeding and dairy products such as a multitude of delicious cheeses. Besides, very few places in the world rival Normandy when it comes to seafood. From seafood to cheese, and everything in between, a couple of weeks in a holiday cottage in France and your taste buds will love you! Something you're sure to notice as you drive about through this region of France is the high number of orchards all around. During a stay in a holiday cottage in France here, it is a must to enjoy the local drink, cider.

The Loire Valley enjoys a delightful name, and it certainly represents this lush area perfectly, and is ideal when looking for a holiday cottage in France. Right up to the 1500s, France's royalty and nobles erected magnificent castles, mansions and palaces in this region, each boasting landscaped vistas. A large part of the valley has since then been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. When searching for a holiday cottage in France it will certainly be advisable to consider all that this region has to offer, as it truly is magnificent.

If you enjoy a glass or two of wine, then rent a holiday cottage in France that's in a region bursting with vineyards, and discover what all the fuss is about. Many of France's regions have become synonymous with fine wines, such as Bordeaux for example. Whether you prefer Cognac or Bordeaux, it's easy to find a holiday cottage in France that's a cork's throw from a great vineyard. Your holiday cottage in France in one of these regions is the perfect starting point for a holiday very close to fertile wine fields.

France's beaches are well known for being amongst the finest anywhere, and the south coast is ideal. Who can possibly think of French city names, including Cannes or Saint Tropez, without thinking of glamour and fashion? As it is no big deal to find a great holiday cottage in France here, you can also look forward to a refreshing stay in the sun. Settle yourself with a cool drink beneath the leafy fronds of a palm tree. A swim in the inviting, azure sea will also help to cool you down. From the sublime beaches to the glitz of Parisian life, a holiday cottage in France offers so much choice.
