  • The 12th century Pont d'Avignon or officially Pont Saint-Benezet bridge is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. This bridge has a long and interesting history, but what remains today is 4 out of an original 22 arches stretching only part way across the Rhone. In France, there is a famous nursery rhyme that refers to dancing under the bridge - Sous le pont d'Avignon / L'on y danse, l'on y danse / Sur le pont d’Avignon / L'on y danse tous en rond” 🎼. Who’s seen it?

  • Love, the one thing that unites us all. The history of love locks comes from the Serbian city, Vrnjačka Banja, during WWI. The legend is that Nada died of a broken heart causing local girls to visit the bridge where the former 2 lovers used to meet and leave a padlock with their name and their loved one and throw the key in the river in hopes of everlasting love. Happy ❤️ Day!

  • In honour of Valentines Day, I am sharing my Top 3 Most Romantic Places I have visited. My #2 spot goes to the beautiful Renaissance city of Florence.

  • Seeing that Valentines Day this week, I thought I would share my Top 3 Most Romantic Places I have visited. My #3 spot goes to this lovely little village in Provence. This superb little village in the Luberon is considered one of the finest in France. Ménerbes is built on a hill and is surrounded by magnificent countryside of vineyards and olive groves. We watched the sunset slowly fade in behind the mountains as we enjoyed one of the best meals. Romantic, indeed it was. Find out tomorrow where my #2 spot might be...

  • Who recognizes this street? On Île de la Cité tucked away behind Notre Dame, a few metres from the Seine, Rue des Chantres (or Singing Street in English) lies the narrowest street in Paris. And, it has quite an interesting history dating back to 1500s (and perhaps a future blog post😉). Due to its status as church land, and because of the fact that cloisters were housed in the vicinity, the road was spared the grand demolition that Haussmann , and through him, Napoleon Bonaparte, had planned for most of the city during the 19th century. During the 1910 floods of Paris (some of the highest water levels ever recorded), the water rose to a height of one and a half metres. A small plaque, and black markers commemorates this event. Who has walked down this lovely street?

  • Tuscany - the most picturesque rural landscape I have ever seen. Medieval villages, castle ruins and old farmhouses are spotted throughout the gentle rolling hills with towering Cypress trees and the sloping vineyards and olive groves. It makes driving from village to village a highlight when you visit this area. What is your favourite Tuscan town to visit?

  • Wandering the streets of old port in St Tropez you are surrounded by colour- from the golden yellows to peachy-pinks to mauve all with the pretty pale blue or minty green shutters. St Tropez is much more than beautiful beaches, large yachts and designer shopping. Get lost in the old city streets in the historic old port and fall in love with the wonderful colours. Who’s been?
