If the travel top of the Eiffel Tower look down on the opposite bank of the Seine, your attention is attracted by a wonderful building full of windows (it seems almost a lussuosissima greenhouse) and adorned with statues and columns is the wonderful Grand Palais, on which stands out a huge flag and within which, 11 to September 21, will set the Biennale of Antique, a major exhibition inspired by dozens of exhibitors will present their best pieces of antique jewelry but also high with Cartier, Chanel , Dior, Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston.

The scenery dell’edizione this year was entrusted to Patrick Bazanan that has transformed the spaces of the splendid palace in a gigantic greenhouse, with real gardens to make a frame with 93 galleries. The event will be pleasant to the palate: to make it “palatable” we think the great chefs of high French cuisine with their tasty dishes served in the restaurant which will be set up in the Grand Palais.

Palermo is a charming city, people, climate and food make it unique as a holiday destination. But we can not forget the problems of the island and, for this reason, I discovered this special bed and breakfast that I wanted to point out. Soleluna fact contributes to the project promoted by the Solidarity voluntary Arciragazzi of Palermo best travelling place and on the site you will find the details of how they were so far invested the money collected.

Patrizia, the hostess, is a woman committed with the cooperation and youth volunteering, energetic and friendly, says of his project: “I have always wanted to make a house that has a capacity to accommodate people, create opportunities for exchange, cultural comparison. ” The place is cozy, colorful and bright, as the smile of mistress.

The experience of a journey on a cargo ship is a fantastic alternative to traditional cruises, for those looking for adventure, rest and reflection. Without in-flight entertainment, with a route dictated by the need to bring those containers, incuriosita me. And so I found this comprehensive guide to the existing possibilities to travel by sea on cargo ships, written by Francis.

I have consulted some of the options available now: Grimaldi offers discounts on some of its vessels working in the Mediterranean. For South America instead I found a reasonable fare, always with the Grimaldi, Bilbao (Spain) Buenos Aires, lasting 26-34 days, double cabin and full board, to 1,350 euros.

For lovers of Africa, Grimaldi has a cruise “circular” from Amsterdam for the countries of West Africa in the cabin double to 1,768 euros, full board and the possibility of landing in each of the ports where the ship attracca. If you are curious, led by Francis provides many other carriers that accept passengers on their boats and routes are really many.

Here are the low cost cruise the Greek islands, targate Easycruise. The concept is simple, as for aircraft and hotels, cruises can be bought for a base price and all additional services are paid for separately. An example? The offer of a week for the islands where they shot the film Mamma mia coast, for departure tomorrow from Piraeus, 298 euros per person, in a tiny cabin of 6 square meters with bunk beds.

The itinerary is ambitious, 5 islands in 7 days and the price seems attractive. But in truth does not include the daily cleaning (28 € per person), organized excursions to the islands (154 € per person) but certainly not include meals of any kind that you can select and cost (breakfast and lunch or dinner) 84 or 105 euros per person for the whole week, depending on whether you choose the option with or without wine.

As the ship travels mostly at night and docked the day, lunches and dinners can be made on the islands. That, in the regulation of the cruise is forbidden to bring on board and consume food and drinks… Then good attention, if booked, to correctly select the extras. The food on board, unless purchased with the package, costing twice!
