Bonjour. A fun (and productive) Parisian week wi Bonjour. 

A fun (and productive) Parisian week winds down this morning. 

What a treat to spend a few days solo in the city I once called home! 

Long walks (some took me down memory lane,) special moments with friends old and new, leisurely meals and “noisettes” savored “en terrasse,” some sun, some rain… in short, “de belles retrouvailles.” 

I will return often during the 2026 touring season, introducing visitors to local landmarks (and some of my favorite corners too.) 

For now, time to say “Merci, Paris!” 

Au revoir et à très bientôt,

Véro

Edmonds, WA, a small town north of Seattle. Over Edmonds, WA, a small town north of Seattle. 

Over 130 @ricksteveseurope guides met there for a week earlier this month. 

Fun to reconnect with friends and the office team we don't always get to meet on the road. 

Proud to be a Rick Steves guide (6th season and counting!) 

Proud to be a European.

Bonjour. Not all company events are created equal Bonjour.

Not all company events are created equal as I found out during my corporate career in France and in the US. 

In February 2026 I returned to Edmonds, WA (once a favorite destination during my Seattle days) to meet over 130 European tour guides, the office team that makes it all happen and the man who brings us together every 18 months on the West Coast: Rick Steves. 

There were keynote speeches, logistics meetings, team activities, and fun evenings - “for sure.” 

There was a lively end-of-workshop party - “for sure.”

Mostly there was a constellation of talented, enthusiastic people, so different and yet so similar: This week Europe descended upon a small town north of Seattle, WA. 

Our common language: English. Our common goal: Share our native lands’ culture with North American travelers during the upcoming travel season. 

We worked hard. Learned. Fought (and almost defeated) jet lag. Played hard too. 

Above all, we enjoyed our times together in the spectacular and (exceptionally) sunny Pacific Northwest. 

My favorite part? Reconnecting in person with the great “Class of 2019,” a merry bunch of guides I am lucky to call friends. I couldn’t be more proud to belong to that group! 

Merci les amis. 

Merci @ricksteves and @ricksteveseurope for bringing us all together once again. 

Long live international friendships, travel adventures and… Go Hawks! :-)

Bonjour. What’s not to like in Lille, the Northe Bonjour. 

What’s not to like in Lille, the Northern Belle with a tumultuous past now a renowned cultural hub in Europe? 

Is this France? Is this Flanders?

It’s Lille, bustling, lively and magical during the Holidays. 

When the sun shines in December you forget the cold, bundle up and make the most of your stay. 

Bienvenue à Lille !

I spent part of my childhood years here, and Lille still feels like home. 

If you enjoy this reel, look for my new virtual guided tour on the France with Vero YouTube channel (“Happy New Year from Lille, France,”) and my latest trip report on Substack (“Lille, France: Prepare to be impressed”)
