Perigueux | France
In May 2016 I had the incredible experience to attend The Academy France with my mom. It was a styling & photography workshop hosted by Heather Bullard in the Dordogne region of France. Here is a look at our day spent in Perigueux - the markets, cobblestone side streets, cathedrals, and plenty of French charm.

Landscape Photography in France - Loire Valley châteaux around Anjou
*Note that the next vlog will be around 03 March 2017.
As a stock travel and landscape photographer the need for me to explore is embedded within. To discover new places and capture them in the best way that I can.
On Sunday 19th February 2017 my photography took me to the Pays de la Loire and Indre-et-Loire in central France. I had two targets in mind. The first was a dawn shoot at Saumur to capture the château reflecting in the river Loire. The second target was to capture the château at Chinon at sunset.
In the middle of the day I do a number of recce shoots for the future when the light will be at its optimum.
Join me as I shoot around the central part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Loire Valley/ Val de Loire in central France.

French Photography Holiday Workshop
My French Photography Holiday Workshop and French Photo Holiday Courses are all part of the Bicycle Gourmet's Digital Photo Holiday Workshops in France
Also, if you go to : see more 2016 French cycling holiday photography options and French Photo Workshop Vacation possibilities.
As a Professional Photographer, I can confirm that the beauty and variety of the French Landscape is nothing short of Awesome. With a capital “A.”
But France is much more than just Photo Ops. It’s History. Culture. Cuisine. Wine. Fashions. And most importantly – the incredible genuine hospitality of the French People.
That’s why every year – my other committments permitting – I cycle through the French Country backroads with 6 or 8 lucky Francophiles (never more) sharing the Treasures of France I know intimately.
These voyages of discovery go down in June, July and September. (NEVER August. The month all the French take their holidays!)
Here’s the skinny:
June – The Loire Valley.
Ok, first of all, Da Bg lives there. That should tell ya something – right? And when, you experience the rich tapestry of this region, you’ll understand why it was the playground for the ancient Kings of France. Naturally we won’t neglect the marvy Chateau’s in which they cavorted – but “Da Bg Advantage” is my intimate knowledge of the tiny villages and off the beaten track spots – that are not in the guidebooks.
July – The Drome Provencal.
This region, is just above(north) of the PACA(Provence Alps Cote D’Azur) region. It being too famous for the Riviera, Cannes, Nice, etc.
The main advantages of “le Drome” are that it has virtually the same climate as it’s way more crowded Southern neighbour,(and thus the same fruits and veggies), and is WAY less crowded. Plus dotted with picture postcard villages, filled with friendly (not picture postcard) people.
September – Vaucluse. Hilltop Villages in the Luberon National Park.
This one is “first among equals” for Da Bg – as I used to hang my (non-existant) hat there.
While the village of Gordes is the most over famous/touristated, there is much more charm (and fewer visitors) in the adjoining villages of Bonnieux, Lacoste ( Chateau of the Marquis de Sade – the original “tough love” guy) and Roussillon. Renowned for it’s ocre cliffs. And the dust from them. Prized by artists the World over.
All of this – in a National Park! What more could ya want?
Vlog-along 7 | French market, photography class and a trip to Warkworth
Enjoy!
Who else loves the French market in Parnell?? I love going there on Sundays after church for lunch. They have great health/ alternative foods as well, but my favorite is still the crepes. And the croissants are to die for. That day I got a spinach and mozzarella turkish foldover (amazing) and kombucha. My friend missed out on the brownies and a caramelised onion bread.

Boubat was born in Montmartre, Paris. He studied typography and graphic arts at the École Estienne and worked for a printing company before becoming a photographer.

He travelled the world for the French magazine Réalités, where his colleague was Jean-Philippe Charbonnier, and later worked as a freelance photographer.
