Madurodam Theme Park

Madurodam is the World’s Most Joyful War Memorial

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Of all the things we saw in The Hague this summer I didn't expect that Madurodam Theme Park would be something I would recommend everyone go visit, but here we are; I'm telling you it's a must see. I've thought about this little gem of a tourist attraction a lot since our return home.  On the surface it's a fun theme park to spend a few hours at, but at it's very core Madurodam is about love and the unbreakable bond we share with family. That's why it makes me smile every time I …

People fall into two camps: those who have visited Paris and those who want to. Rumour has it people exist who don’t have Paris on their Must See list. Let’s blame this failing on grade-school grammar trauma and Monsieur Sagar who forced us to declare, “J’ai un stylo,” or was that, “Je suis un stylo?” Verbs are scary, but a trip to the third most visited city in the world shouldn’t be. Travellers often prepare lists — whether rigid or flexible — of landmarks, restaurants, and museums they’ve …

Five Day Trips from Paris

By //  by Katja Wulfers 2 Comments

Every trip to France is a chance to explore hidden or off the beaten path gems. The region around Paris, or Île-de-France, holds many treasures that don't see the same traffic as their more famous neighbours Euro Disney and Versailles, and these can be visited in day trips from Paris. A short drive or RER (commuter train) ride out of the city and the traditional village houses pressed around church squares and bustling, small towns replace Haussmann-style apartment buildings. …
