Belle-Ile is an island off the south coast of Brittany. It has a special place in my heart and is definitely one of my very favorite places in France as I spent many summers there with my family since I was a child. Its name in French translates litterally to “beautiful island” and it is often qualified as “well-named” (Belle-Ile la bien nommée in French). Between country side, wild coast and gorgeous beaches, it has nothing to envy to tropical islands… ok maybe the heat!
After several stays in the British capital, I wanted to discover it with a new eye. A weekend in London with a friend (and organised with Pinterest) was the opportunity to find out a few unusual places that are quite unheard of among tourists and that allow you to escape the crowd without leaving the city. Today, I would like to share with you these secrets which sometimes made me travel beyond England.
You had been waiting for it what seems to be forever – you are finally going to vibrant London. You only have one day and of course, you want to make the most of it. Here is a one-day, tested and approved itinerary for first-timers.
I told you about our Jamaican trip a little while ago and today, I would like to share more about how we felt there and what we remember of it. Here is what we expected from our holidays in Jamaica and what we experienced instead.
While I was in Germany to visit a good friend of mine recently, I was lucky to go and spend a day in Freiburg. Located near the French border, Freiburg-am-Brisgau (and not Freiburg in Switzerland), is a really pretty and international city, very lively and loved by students.
The advantages of Pinterest are not to be proven anymore. You have access to a lot of information about pretty much anything very quickly and it is just too easy to spend hours on it.
While we are in France, organizing our long-term trip, others are already going along unknown roads, like my “little” brother Ben. Settled in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for a year (and back to France for a few months for our greater pleasure! Well I shouldn’t say anything, in a few months it will be our turn!), Ben tells us about his trip with friends to the Dak Lak province…
I lived in Paris for 2 and a half years as a student and even if I didn’t really like being there full time, I tried to make the most of what the city had to offer. And there is always something to do for your budget. If you already know the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre by heart or if you simply want to see something different, here are my favourite and affordable places to see
It is set, we are leaving!
For me, the idea of touring the world was… really just an idea: “it would be great but I never will…”. A dream and all the barriers that go with it – no time, no money, too many fears, you can always find an excuse.
Organising a long journey implies significant involvement and takes time. It has been about a year and a half since we started to think seriously about this trip and saving up for it. Now, it’s time to buckle down and start planning.
