Christine van Blokland on Instagram: "Jumping for joy! We finally made it to the magical Mont-Saint-Michel, the #UNESCO World Heritage site, with the abbey at the top, and those legendary high and low tides that are so dramatic that sometimes it’s an island surrounded by water… and other times a sandy beach that takes 3 hours to cross.. or 3 seconds to do a herky jump on. Mont-Saint-Michel has been a bucket list destination for Curious Traveler for a long time, and also a personal one pour moi.

Wow! Take a look inside the stunning St. Mang Monastery and Museum of Füssen, full of curious history, symbols and architecture. Its library is one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen, especially at the right time of day, with sunbeams pouring through its oval windows, lighting up all those pinks, yellows and blues. And that oval shape is repeated quite a bit here: in its upper floor ceiling fresco, and its movable lower floor fresco, which I’m now calling the lower floor ‘lid’. ☺️ Watch and l

Did you know .... that in the Netherlands, there is a picture-perfect collection of small villages with lovely little homes, farmhouses, a big, beautiful church, and lots of perfectly straight roads and straight canals, creating little straight rectangles of backyards.... where the residents often ride their bicycles along perfectly planned geometrically-gorgeous sidewalks, shaded by perfectly placed leafy trees? Seems like the perfect place to live, right? Except, until 1612, this dreamy utopia

Happy Sunday from the stunning Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon, France! Dedicated the Virgin Mary 'who saved Lyon from the Black Death', this UNESCO World Heritage Site and majestic work of art was built and consecrated in the late 19th century. The choice for its location is quite imporant. It was built atop Fourvière Hill, once the center of the ancient Roman city of Lugdunum. Lugdunum later becomes Lyon, but more on that later. Back to the basilica: At nearly 300 feet long and 115

Buonasera, Curious Travelers! For all of you who played my 'Where in the Curious World Am I?" game yesterday and guessed Siena, you are correct! 🇮🇹 (I really feel like you should each get a gelato in your flavor of choice for that, but for now, please accept my thanks for playing along.) But Siena is just the beginning. For the next two weeks, I'll be sharing my adventures across Tuscany and Milan. Most of the time I'll be with my new friends at Road Scholar.

Did I ever tell you about the time we took a tiny boat into a giant watery cave, across an underground lake, on the island of Kefalonia in Greece, to learn about the myth of Pan and a nymph named Melissani, and the ancient rituals that went on here? But the mythology is just the beginning: The waters were a dreamy, crystal-clear deep aquamarine blue, the cave itself is a geological wonder: with its own tiny island within it, and those oh-so-spooky stalachtites forever creeping down over your hea

Bordeaux's Place de la Bourse and its Miroir d'eau is a kind of the welcome mat to this curious and oh-so-elegant city. Yes, Bordeaux is famous for its great wine heritage, but its architecture is just as stunning. Especially that 18th century Place de la Bourse, a sweeping half-moon shaped plaza, facing the Garonne River, with its magical Miroir d'eau, a 37,000 square foot, 2 cm deep reflecting pool, made even more magical at night, when the lights dance on the water, and it perfectly reflects
