From the moment we go to school, we’re told to sit still. From then on, we’re told off for fidgeting in our seats wherever we go, from the bus to the classroom and the dinner table. However, for many of us, it feels very unnatural to sit still for long periods of time and it can even cause health issues like increased risk of heart disease and diabetes, back problems and bad mental health.

Nothing like Paris, Marseille or even Lyon, is one of the most liveable and loveable places I’ve visited in the country. Despite its size and stature – about the same size as Manchester, with a population of just over half a million people and growing so fast it is expected to overtake Lyon to become France’s third-most populous city by the end of this year – Toulouse doesn’t have the urban elegance of many of its peers.

Once the rustling of our camouflage coats had stopped, I had never heard silence like it – thick, all-encompassing, so meditative, it was almost spiritual. I had started my journey on a short flight from Vancouver 300km north-east to Kamloops in British Columbia. From there, I’d driven three hours north to Williams Lake at the heart of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region, which ranges from the Pacific to the Cariboo Mountains via fjords, lakes, temperate rainforests and plains.

PICTURE the scene. It’s 10pm on December 22, 2024 and barely has the ski season begun than a happy group emerge from the bus at the Gare Routière in Les Menuires in the midst of a snowstorm. (Think George, Andrew, Pepsi and Shirley piling out of those 4x4s 40 years ago in Last Christmas, but with fewer frosted tips, less lip gloss and much more luggage.)I was on ski holiday with my husband and two teenage kids.
