This year brings the 12th International Art Fair once again to the exclusive location of Zurich.
With a rich medley of international and contemporary art, sculpture, photography and a meeting point for artists, galerists and art-lovers to get together and network, this is the perfect opportunity to buy, sell or just admire art work from 5 continents!
We ventured to Carcassonne a few years back for a weekend break.
Having looked through the internet for more information on the place, it just seemed like a magical place to go.We actually booked our hotel within the castle grounds (Best Western Le Donjon Les Ramparts) and it was like being in a fairytale.
We got off the plane and were met by glorious sunshine (which I wasn’t expecting, I’d packed for normal spring weather) so I was out looking for a change of wardrobe as soon as we got there.
We got to our hotel to drop off our luggage and settle in and the suite was just beautiful, split level with a large lounge area, up a few stairs to the bedroom area and a lovely big bathroom.Coming out of the room you walked across a courtyard, filled with flowers and looking like a picture postcard!
We took ourselves out on an expedition to see what the place was about, there are lots of touristy shops inside the grounds where you can buy souvenirs etc, and there are restaurants inside the Cite which are just sensational, the food is top quality and in some cases, when you’re tucking into the Cassoulet, you feel like you could be living in the times of King Arthur!
We spent a day just exploring the grounds and taking lots of photos, it’s a photographers dream with all the nooks and crannies to play around with!
The whole trip was excellent, the scenery, the food, the hotel – just a great and very romantic place to visit.
