Marché aux Fleurs - One of the last flower markets in Paris

Don’t go on Sundays if you don’t like things in cages, the space gets taken over by a somewhat questionable animal market.

All year round, the Marché aux Fleurs on the Isle de la Cité brings a bit of colour to an otherwise rather staid neighbourhood. You’ll see a wide variety of specialist flowers including orchids.

If Saint-Malo is for pirates, Dinard is for elegance! Situated in a lovely position overlooking the Rance Estuary, the beautiful 19th century villas are just made for the aristocracy.

The walled town of Saint-Malo, once a haven for the pirates paid by the French government to harrass the English across the channel, now plays host to the thousands of tourists that flock there every summer.

Australian Native Animals at the Healsville Wildlife Sanctuary – Victoria

You can see Australian native animals at The Healesville Animal Sanctuary – an amazing place a couple of hours drive from Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Here you will experience up-close encounters with a range of Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, dingoes, koalas, birds, snakes, and the strange platypus.

Skiathos, Greece

Skiathos is a small Greek island with some historical significance – it was here in 1807 that the blue and white Greek flag was first flown. The ceremony took place at the Evangelistria Monastery which is about 10 minutes out of town (or around 2 hours if you walk).

The Stick Shed

The Stick Shed in Murtoa is a second World War grain storage area so unique that it has pride of place on the Australian Heritage Register. Who would have thought there would be a forest of mountain ash trees in the Wimmera.
