Interesting article and you are talking to the converted here. We keep going back again and again and again to the same places. Never could quite understand the bucket list idea. Different strokes for different folks. For our France trip next year I briefly considered including at least one place we hasn't been but it was a brief consideration. It will be all the old haunts for us.

Our villa in Catqueiranne in 2005...there is a public walking path close by so we should be able to peek in.
And of course we'll have at least one meal of moules-frites probably in Carqueiranne and probably the blue cheese sauce and washed down with rosé....yum.
