Marseille

The girls went to Marseille last weekend and had a great time

Our tips:

1. Notre-dame-de-la-garde  (take the little tourist train at Vieux Port) gives you a breathtaking view         over the city, do it by sunset!

2. Apéro at La Caravelle: great mojito's and a little balcony in the sun at Vieux Port.

3. Au Vieux Panier: a shop where they only sell typical french things (rue du Panier)

4. Mucem: we only visited the outside(it's for free), took the passerelles and had coffee on the terrace.

5. Les Calanques: visit its dazzling white limestone fjords by boat. (departure at Vieux Port)

6. Diner here

7. Café: here and here

8. Buy some famous Marseille's cookies called "Navettes" here. Best in town.

9. Lunch: Café de l'abbaye

10. Diner Chez Etienne (Rue de Lorette 43): pizza & more

 

Paris is always a good idea

I've just visited Paris (just loooove my job).
top to bottom: 1. the Eiffeltower (always makes me smile when I spot it) 2.&3. the food departement in Le Bon Marché (always makes me hungry and greedy) 4. beautiful buildings (always take a look upstairs, so many beautiful buildings) 5. a secret door in Merci (lovely shop, great visual merchandising) 6. a sign in Bon Ton 7. Bonpoint (always beautiful windows)

 

 

 

strange stripes

Last weekend we were in Hasselt for 'Theater op de markt'. On several houses and buildings, I noticed silver stripes and that made me curious. Someone told me to go the Radisson hotel's top level and there I saw the strange foiled stripes come together in 'trois ellipses ouverts en désordre'.

bal populaire

What a wonderful birthday party -weekend-  at Autreville. Hooray for Inge and Stefan!

Good news for those who want to visit this beautiful place themselves...l'autre maison is for rent!

welvaert

we like this green spot in our city. 

welvaert is made by time circus, situated on "het eilandje", near the MAS museum.

SUNday

Morning walk in "Het Rivierenhof"

zuiderpark spelen

I was in Rotterdam yesterday, with the Ripopolo's for this cute little festival "Zuiderpark spelen'.

Beautiful park, sunny day (a bit too windy, but hey, no complaining) and nice things to see for free!

happy weekend

have a happy (rainy) weekend!

Blanky

This weekend we (8 friends) went to Blankenberge, a fine place at our Belgian coast.
Luckily in autumn not as crowded as during summertime...

We laughed a lot, drank  psychedelic cocktails, walked from Blankenberge to Zeebrugge, enjoyed fresh shrimp and a beer,  and invaded the vintage apartment of Karliens late auntee Yolandee.
Thanks, Karlien, what a great idea!
