FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Warm Weather, Vacation Attitude are Key Aspects August is normally a great vacation month, but in France (and especially in the north) it can be problematic. Most people get the month of August off in France, meaning you may find some shops are closed. Still, attractions are usually open and it can be a bit quieter than the rest of the year. The South of France tends to be quite packed this year, as many northerners head to the beaches. There is a festive, summer-vacation spirit here, and there are many festivals. Depending on your destination, the weather can be a bit too balmy, but it is surprisingly moderate in most of France. Weather The weather can be a bit extreme in August. There are major variations in climate depending on where you are in France, but here are some major cities: Paris : Average high temperature is 24 degrees celsius/75 degrees farenheit, and the average low is 13.9 celcius, 57 farenheit. Average rainfall is 55.2 millimeters, or 2.2 inches. Nice : Average high temperature is 26.7 degrees celsius/80 degrees farenheit, with the average low at 20 degrees celcius/68 degrees farenheit. Average rainfall is 31.6 millimeters, or 1.2 inches. Bordeaux : Average high temperature is 26.1 degrees celsius, 79 degrees farenheit, and the average low is 15 celcius/59 farenheit. Average rainfall is 59.1 millimeters, or 2.3 inches. Strasbourg : Average high temperature is 24 degrees celsius, or 75 degrees farenheit, and the average low is 14 celcius/55 farenheit. Average rainfall is 70.4 millimeters, or 2.8 inches. What to pack It can be challenging to pack for France, particularly if you will visit multiple cities. For the most part, this is a mild time of year. Be prepared for either hot days or cool nights, however. Your packing list should include: Sun screen Light clothes Flip flops Good walking shoes A bathing suit Get more ideas with my Packing Tips . Why to go in August Enjoy summer vacation the way the locals do The weather is warm All museums and attractions are open, usually with extended summertime hours There is a great vacation atmosphere Why not to visit France in August The closings! It can be a real letdown to find things shut down for vacations Airfare and lodging is expensive There can be some really hot days Events and festivals Bayonne Festival , which features bullfights, cow racing, dancing and a general festive atmosphere in this lovely Basque city near the Spanish border. Musique in Perigord , in Audrix, features young, up and coming musicians performing in the lovely Aquitaine countryside.

Windstar Cruises Destinations WindStar Caribbean Cruises WindStar The Americas Cruises WindStar Europe Cruises WindStar Greek Isles Cruises WindStar Trans Atlantic Cruises Windstar Cruises Luxury Cruise Vacations Windstar Cruises - A Unique Concept In Cruising "Pioneering Line Celebrates 15th Anniversary" Sailing under the banner of its appropriate tag line "180 From Ordinary," Windstar Cruises was created in the mid-1980''s with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. The Windstar Cruises passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine. Well known for cruising off the beaten path, throughout 2002 Windstar Cruises celbrated our 15th year of sailing to exotic locales and hidden harbors that larger ships cannot access. These stately vessels turn heads from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean to the Far East. The Windstar Cruise Ships In late 1986, the first commercial sailing vessel built in 60 years slipped out of a French dry-dock in Le Havre. Although the towering sails echoed a bygone era of explorers, the msy Wind Star, with its sleek lines and computerized controls, was revolutionary in concept and design. Windstar''s ships are officially masted-sail-yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer micro-chips and navigational devices. The unusual "open-bridge" operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ship''s intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers. The 148-passenger Wind Star was joined by sister ships the msy Wind Song in 1987, and msy Wind Spirit in 1988. A new era in luxury cruising was now being pioneered by Windstar Cruises. Nearly a decade later in 1998, the 308-passenger msy Wind Surf was acquired by Windstar. Sailing originally as Club Med I, the Wind Surf was built in 1990 in the same shipyard to strikingly similar specifications as her sister ships, making her a perfect match for the four fleet family. Windstar Cruises Shipboard Life Windstar''s unique concept of sailing has lead the cruise industry in the luxury small ship, casual attire, and alternative dining arenas. Pioneering and refining these concepts has earned Windstar an excellent reputation and market niche, winning the allegiance of a new generation of contemporary cruise vacationers, one-third of whom are first-time cruisers. Teak decking, rich wood interiors, an attentive service staff, intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine list are some of the extraordinary elements which have become synonymous with Windstar. Features unique to the Wind Surf include 31 deluxe suites, a Business/Internet Center, The Bistro, and the 10,000 square foot WindSpa offering a full array of spa treatments, consultative, health and fitness programs. Windstar Cruises Passengers are cradled in comfort as all staterooms and suites offer ocean views, sitting area, TV, VCR, CD player, safe, mini-bar/refrigerator, international direct- dial phones, bathroom with toiletries, hair dryer, plush robes, and plenty of closet space. The library on board stocks an array of international newspapers, books and games, as well as a multi-media selection of more than 500 video titles and compact discs available for complimentary check-out. Carrying just 148 to 308 guests, Windstar cruise ships exude a private yacht-like atmosphere creating camaraderie and lasting friendships between fellow sailors. Every day aboard Windstar brings the promise of new horizons and harbors to explore. Windstar Cruises Destinations and Activities Newly announced destinations for 2003 include Northern Europe, Baltic, Malta and Tunisia. New itineraries complement tried and true Windstar favorites such as the Greek and Turkish Isles, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Virgin Islands, French Polynesia and Trans-Atlantic crossings. An interesting mix of shore excursions and complimentary water sports activities are available at each destination. Passengers may find themselves slicing through Caribbean waters aboard an actual America''s Cup racing yacht, or exploring archaeological ruins in Greece, the "Cradle of Civilization." Water buffs can enjoy complimentary water-skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking and "banana" boat rides from the ship''s aft Water Sports Platform. Windstar's cruise vacations offer a sea-side window on the world, combining the refinement of a luxury hotel with a moveable feast of cultural experiences. Seattle-based Windstar Cruises operates the 308-passenger Wind Surf and 148- passenger Wind Star and Wind Spirit. The three sailing yachts cruise to over 47 countries worldwide offering an affordable luxury vacation.

Our Minnesota wilderness setting fills your vacation with as much adventure or relaxation as you wish. Our northwoods pine and aspen forest, with deep clear water lakes and lots of wildlife, remains much the same as found by the voyageurs over a century ago. The atmosphere at Gunflint is wilderness elegance and home-away-from-home comfort. We invite you to make Gunflint your place in the northwoods -- a place where you'll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. You won't merely feel like you belong -- you will know this is your home up north. Winter at Gunflint-main lodge WINTER Cabin rates Wild Winter Package Nordic Ski (Cross Country) Package New Year's Resolution Week Dog Lover's Weekends "Full Moon" Lover's Pkg Women's Weekend Retreats Snowshoe Making Stress Buster Weekend Winter Tracks Festival Massage Weekend "Books in the Woods" Retreat The winter season The snow is getting deeper and deeper The snows keep coming and everything is white and beautiful. The lake has frozen over and the timber wolves are starting to roam about on the ice. Firewood is stacked by each cabin for a warm toasty evening while you are curled up with a favorite book. The deer have started to come in for their winter handouts and we have about a ton of corn stored, as we plan ahead. The crosscountry ski trails are all open and groomed. The trail groomer is out nearly every day setting tracks and keeping everything perfect for excellent skiing. The sled dogs have arrived for the winter and the mushers have them out on the trails every day getting them in shape for trail rides. Guests that came up on our decorating weekends did a bang up job on the lodge and grounds-- the Christmas trees are up and decorated, garlands hang everywhere around the lodge and on the outside light poles, and strings of white lights illuminate the outside of the lodge come evening. Our chef has an all new winter menu that has some very tasty selections. He is featuring more entrees of the country. Among his new choices are an Elk steak, a big double bone pork chop, new walleye recipes, new pasta selections, new salads, and new breads and desserts.

GENERAL INFO Cabin Descriptions Pet Policy Reservation Information Driving Directions Write ups and articles about Gunflint Lodge Employment Lodge History Links A recent guest testimonial: "Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so memorable, something we will be able to tell our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren about. You have a wonderful staff that really care about the customers. We know that there are many vacations spots, but when we found Gunflint we knew that this was the only spot for us!!!!" Matt & Mary Paquette Concord, New Hampshire What's New this Winter at Gunflint Adventure Services There's so much to do here at Gunflint sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. So we opened an Adventure Concierge office to help you plan your activities during your stay. This person will be available to make recommendations on which ski trails to go on depending on your skill level, which days might be better for snowshoeing, or even booking any popular activities for you before you arrive. Winter Specials Everyone loves a deal so here is our best winter offer. If you're the kind of person who always wants a vacation to last just one more day, we can relate! If you arrive on a Sunday or Monday and spend 3 nights with us, the fourth night is on the house. Dog Sledding For guests staying over Monday throughout the winter we are treating you to a taste of dog sledding by offering you complimentary dog sled rides. Bundle up and hop in the sled, and let our musher and team of eager sled dogs introduce you to an exciting way to traverse the snow-covered trails that wind through the woods. This is always popular so reservations are a must! The complimentary dog sled rides are for guests spending Sunday and Monday nights at Gunflint. While we do reserve the whole day for rides, there is limited capacity. Sleigh Rides For guests staying over Tuesday we will be offering complimentary sleigh rides every Tuesday evening. Big Belgian horses pull the sleigh through the woods and alongside a frozen lake on lit trails beneath a star-filled sky. Homemade hot cocoa awaits you upon your return from this classic north woods experience. Just to be clear, the complimentary sleigh rides are for guests spending Monday and Tuesday nights at Gunflint. This activity is particularly limited in capacity due to size of the sleighs and can only hold 12 people. So it is open to the first 12 people who sign up. If you are interested in reserving a sleigh ride for a different night of the week, call us and we can arrange it for you. As your hosts, we know that your personal time is very valuable to each of you so we continue to refine the details and activities that you will experience. Every detail, from extra towels for the hot tubs, to your fireplace preset with kindling and wood upon arrival, is taken care of. A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with wildlife and panoramic beauty. The countless stars and colorful northern lights will amaze you and your family throughout the winter nights. We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home. It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.
