Discovering London's Markets from a French Perspective
As a French girl who came to London 2 years ago, I had never imagined that I would be this happy. Ever. Sure, my language and accent has not been London-ised but maybe it is a good thing, I am not afraid to be French about everything I talk about - it is my identity and like everyone, I am proud of it. ...

Mobile - birthplace of Mardi Gras
I completed my tour of Alabama with an overnight stay in the coastal city of Mobile which combines southern charm and elegance with the vibrancy of a major industrial port.

Birmingham is Sweet Home Alabama
Birmingham, Alabama, like its UK namesake, is not a city that immediately comes to mind as a tourist hotspot. But I quickly discovered that it is a city on the turn with an optimistic outlook and a pragmatic population. My stay in Birmingham was a brief but comfortable one – accommodated in the excellent Sheraton Hotel located across from the Jefferson Convention Complex. Whilst attending a tourism convention I was lucky enough to visit a number of the main tourist attractions, many of which are focused on the City’s involvement in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. ...
