Autumnal photo taken in Blois, France. I am standing on some stairs, throwing orange leaves in the air. I am smiling. Behind me is a big tree full of orange leaves.

Ready to have the perfect autumn day? This bucket list will inspire you!

I absolutely love autumn. It’s such a warm and inviting season. The golden light, the colours of nature, the cosy clothes and foods… Autumn is like a warm blanket wrapped around us after the eventful summer. Last year, I already made a bucket list in which you can find inspiration for autumnal activities. However, this year’s autumn bucket list is ten times better! I had a lot of fun making it and I hope it inspires you to plan wonderful autumn days.
