One should never skip an opportunity to visit Padd One should never skip an opportunity to visit Paddington when in London. It simply wouldn’t be polite
🐾
I stopped by to say hello and made sure everything was in order, hat straight, suitcase ready and of course, a jar of marmalade
🐾
And who could resist a quick stop at the Paddington Store? So many friends to say hello to, I nearly forgot to leave

Here’s how I spent a day in Paris, wandering through Jardin du Luxembourg, past the Panthéon and Notre-Dame, getting a little lost in the Latin Quarter, stopping by the Louvre Pyramid, visiting the Petit Palais and finishing up in Montmartre
🐾
It’s definitely leg day when you explore Paris like this, but every step comes with something beautiful, surprising and usually something delicious is always around the corner, which makes it all quite worth it don't you think?

Bienvenue à Paris 🇫🇷 🐾 Today I finally met the Ei Bienvenue à Paris 🇫🇷

Today I finally met the Eiffel Tower, rising high above the city like a giant iron lattice of adventure. I climbed the stairs step by step like a very determined little bear, and when I reached the top the whole of Paris opened up beneath me, rooftops, the Seine winding through the city and monuments in every direction
🐾
It felt like a very special moment standing up there, a small bear in a very big city. After all that climbing I treated myself to the lift back down, which felt like the sensible Parisian way to finish such an adventure

🐾
Here in Gers, southern France, the old stone walls and heavy wooden beams have seen centuries of meals prepared for travellers, nobles and perhaps the occasional hungry bear
🐾
I had a good look around, just in case something delicious was still bubbling away somewhere... a bear has to check these things very carefully you know!

Can you really come to France and not visit a chât Can you really come to France and not visit a château?
🐾
Here I am at Château de Cassaigne near Condom in Gers, surrounded by 35 hectares of vines planted on a plateau of limestone outcrops. This is Côtes de Gascogne country, and the home of world-famous Armagnac, so there is history in every barrel and sunshine in every grape.
🐾
I’ll leave the tasting to my assistants, of course, but wandering through the courtyard and vineyards was quite fascinating. Castles and countryside make a very fine combination indeed.

In Auch, Gascony, I spent the afternoon exploring the Renaissance Cathédrale Sainte-Marie, peeking up at its magnificent organ, carved wooden stalls and glowing rose windows. Outside, the Place de la République felt wonderfully relaxed, the sort of square where a bear could happily sit and watch the world go by
🐾
After saluting d’Artagnan at the top of the Monumental Staircase, I set off down Rue Gambetta with curious paws and no particular plan, which is usually when the best little discoveries happen

Here I am in Nérac, wandering between stalls piled high with Agen prunes, creamy cheeses, fresh grape juice, shiny olives, colourful vegetables and more varieties of salami than a small bear could reasonably carry. The hardest part is choosing what not to taste
🐾
There’s chatter in the air, baskets swinging at elbows and that wonderful feeling that lunch is going to be very, very good!

No blossoms just yet, but the sky is the brightest blue and the sun has finally decided to stay awhile. The river is sparkling, the streets feel lighter and even the old stone buildings look pleased with themselves
🐾
After grey days and stormy nights, this clear sky feels like a quiet promise that warmer adventures are on their way

Hello from Gers, tucked away in the countryside of Hello from Gers, tucked away in the countryside of southwestern France

The weather hasn’t quite rolled out a sunny welcome. Storm Nils swept through, leaving parts of the region under water and without power. I spent three days without electricity, though thankfully there was water and gas, so things were never truly dire, plus, I have a new warm hat, do you like it?
🐾
Instead, it turned into something unexpectedly cosy. Candle-lit dinners, quiet evenings by the fire and a slower rhythm to the days. Sometimes even a storm brings its own kind of magic
🐾
Power returned yesterday, and life hums along again. But I must admit, those flickering candle-lit evenings felt rather special
