The Cosquer Cave

The Cosquer Cave

The Cosquer Cave is a museum which houses the replica of Cosquer Méditerranée. I was unable to take pictures in the cave, but I will share a few from the museum and with the exterior. I’ve embedded some pictures they shared on Instagram. This cave was discovered in 1991, which was an incredible achievement. The […]

Avignon Cathedral

Walk through Avignon

I shared pictures from Palais des Papes, papal seat, and now I am sharing pictures from my walk through Avignon. It is a lovely city, well worth visiting. Besides the gorgeous papal palace, which is an important building for historical reasons, there are many more interesting attractions to see in Avignon. Remparts d’Avignon are the […]

Palais des Papes

Palais des Papes, in Avignon, was fantastic to visit. It is a very important historical place for many reasons. The palace is one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings. It is impressive through its size, as a fortress and palace. On top of that it was a papal residence during the 14th […]

Nîmes

Walk through Nîmes

After talking about 2 important Roman buildings, Arènes de Nîmes and Maison Carrée, today I take you on a walk through Nîmes. It is a lovely city with great transport links. Nîmes could be a great “base” for day trips to nearby cities, such as Avignon, Montpellier, and Marseille. I would like to go to […]

Arènes de Nîmes

Arènes de Nîmes and Maison Carrée

Arènes de Nîmes and Maison Carrée are two amazing Roman constructions in Nîmes. They are about 5 minutes walk from each other. There are joint tickets, which include a tower and a museum. I haven’t seen the tower, but I saw the museum, which will be included in a round-up of Nîmes. Arènes de Nîmes […]

fountain

Palais Longchamp

Palais Longchamp is called a palace, but in fact is a water reservoir. This gorgeous fountain which has two museums, on each side is a beauty, well worth visiting in Marseille. It was built after the cholera pandemic of 1835 and the project involved constructing a 85km canal to bring water from the Durance river […]

Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Montpellier

Walk through Montpellier

I think Montpellier was my favourite city in southern France. Of course all have amazing and interesting things to see, but I just liked the feel and atmosphere of Montpellier better. La cathédrale Saint-Pierre is one of the most unusual I saw. That entrance looks so unique. The cathedral dates back to the 14th century. […]

tower and path

Carbonniere Tower

Carbonniere Tower is a 14th century tower in Southern France, close to Aigues-Mortes. Because I have so many pictures of it, I’ve decided to make a dedicated post instead of including it in a round-up. I think I like the moody feel of the pictures as well. It was the only cloudy day we had […]

La Maison du Chats

La Maison du Chats is a cat cafe in Montpellier. We were visiting the city and wanted to go for lunch at a veggie restaurant. It was closed because the owner was on holiday, so we moved along the street. A few doors down it was La Maison du Chats! They had a table for […]

Camp des Milles

Camp des Milles

Camp des Milles is now a memorial site. It was a 1900s tile factory which was transformed into a detention camp in September 1939. Thousands of Jews were sent to Auschwitz from this place. It is worth a visit, without any doubt. It is one of the best museums I’ve seen and surely the best […]
