Lavender flower in Drôme Provençale

The attraction of flowering lavender fields is as great as the famous Route Nationale 7 is long. What types of lavender are there and how to cook with them?

Halloumi? Hellim? Grilled cheese from Cyprus

It is white, keeps its shape, squeaks against the teeth and is political. Real halloumi (Greek) or hellim (Turkish) comes from Cyprus and the Mediterranean island has been divided since 1974.

Simplicity day

July 12 is the day of simplicity. For this occasion we have compiled a photo gallery with motifs from all over the world. Especially when traveling light, the most beautiful improvisations arise from simplicity and creativity. Henry David Thoreau recommends already in 1854 the return to a simple life.

Handmade, the bestseller of the chocolate manufactory Frigoulette is wrapped in golden paper. The Malakoff praline from Chocolaterie Frigoulette is available throughout France and is especially popular at Christmas. Malakoff is one of those sliced chocolates that do not have an additional wrapper around the center. The roasted hazelnuts give the praline a crunchy texture / © Photo: Georg Berg

Chef Eric Rousselot prepares the famous Cassoulet Imperial at Hostellerie Etienne, a family-run business since 1956. The brown crust is part of a good cassoulet. Furthermore, just a simple salad and a glass of wine - c'est tout - c'est bien! / © Photo: Georg Berg

Cassoulet. Stew with history

This hearty specialty from the south of France was a poor man’s food. Ingredients: White beans, duck, sausage, bacon. Preparation classic in the cassole.

Varosha ghost town

The tourist stronghold on the Mediterranean has been a restricted military area since 1974 and the buildings have fallen into disrepair. A touching experience, because war is once again a reality in Europe

Olive oil from Provence

The harvest season for olives in the Var region begins in November. This is where tradition meets modernity. The differences could hardly be greater.

Here stands the sea god Manannan Mac Lir and of course you stop at such a place, no matter how windy it is. Gortmore is a stunning viewpoint on the Bishop's Road in Northern Ireland and is part of the Causeway Coastal Route. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Donegal and the islands of Islay and Jura on the west coast of Scotland. How fortunate that the sea god put a stop to us! / © Photo: Georg Berg

No trip without a monument

On the occasion of the International Day of the Monument, which is celebrated every year on April 18, we have compiled a small selection

We had to wait a long time for this photo. Because the lady on the park bench took forever to take a picture of herself on the pedestal via selfie stick / © Photo: Georg Berg

Everyone is a monument

In Kassel stands the ICH monument. The pedestal made of red sandstone, is an invitation to each and everyone to stand up for a selfie and feel unique.
