It is officially summer, and with that, peak daydream season! Warm temps with meals alfresco transport me to destinations all over the globe in my mind. Unfortunately whisking away to worldly hotspots on a whim isn't always an option. Today I forced myself to find a bit of France at my fingertips.

Desperate for my daydreams, we took a drive up into Beverly Hills to Greystone Mansion instantly transporting us into the French countryside. Strolling the grounds is completely free and the views expansive. The next time you need to escape the city and flirt with your French fantasies, make your way to Greystone Mansion.
