Best Places to See in Corsica - Corte

21 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Corsica

//  by Simon//  1 Comment

French call it l’Ile de Beauté – the Island of Beauty -, and when you visit Corsica it doesn’t take long to understand why.

I can’t even recall how many times I’ve been to this very special island, discovering it by boat (something I highly recommend, since there are magnificent stretches of the coastline that can’t be reached from inland), on a road trip and hiking.

Provence-The-Village-of-Aurel

Aurel, Pretty Hamlet in the Hills of Provence

//  by Simon//  7 Comments

I would probably have never visited Aurel, one of the many villages perched on the hills of Provence, if I hadn’t  overnighted. The view on the surrounding hills is lovely and the hamlet is perfectly positioned for a drive across the purple lavender fields, to visit a lavender farm and to do some ‘village-hopping’, starting …

Fashionable, Feisty, Fabulous: Welcome to Mama Shelter Marseille!

//  by Simon//  2 Comments

From outside, it’s just another modern – and rather impersonal – building, but as soon as I set foot inside Mama Shelter Marseille my first reaction was… WOW!
