The big tent was set up on an island nearby where I regularly jogged and I bought the tickets about 3 months ago once it was released. The excitement was full steam ahead that I could get my kids to join me on this fantastic modern take of circus. The below is a opening act […]
As part of my weekend getaway, we made a pit stop in Angers enroute to Nantes after driving 3 hours. We parked the car at the massive La Rochefoucauld Parking for free and started to stroll accross the river to the old town. We first arrived at the bottom of the steps of Montée Saint-Maurice […]
As part of my birthday weekend celebration, we decided on a mini road trip to Nantes for the sole purpose of us riding the Grand Elephant! It was nothing short of amazing in terms of the mechanism and puppetry effect. We booked the tickets online and this is highly recommended to avoid the queues. If […]

We took notice of this fair from a big billboard on the […]
As part of the public holiday on 15th August, we decided to visit the Botanical Gardens rather than wasting the day at home. I saw mixed reviews on Google about this place but decided to give it a go anyhow. Traffic was clear on the way there with parking available accross the road from the […]
Our first Michelin Star restaurant experience. We received a gift voucher from a family friend that stayed with us between Christmas and New Year. The voucher is sufficient for a testing menu for two person. The Etoile branch is located close to Arc De Triomphe, we booked the first available slot of the day well […]
This is our fourth time back to Versailles and after visiting the musical gardens and fountains, I insisted despite the heat to go into the free Gallery of Coaches museum. It is outside of the main compound of Versailles across the road but it was on way out towards the underground car park. It’s amazing […]
We were in Paris city over the weekend for visiting the Free Museum Sundays. We were unsure how the capital will look like after four nights of riots. Overall, the place we were looks in order despite the heavier than usual army and police presence. There were some evidence of the on-going unrest but tourists […]
