If you’re looking for paradise, you just found it and its called Sénanque Abbey! Wondering why? Keep reading!

This Cistercian abbey, located in western Provence, in the hills of the Luberon is one of three beautiful Romanesque abbeys founded by the Cistercians in Provence, France. It’s sublime, solitary setting, surrounded by fields of lavender, and the timeless serenity and honey-coloured stone of the monastic buildings. This makes it one of the most photographed sights in Provence and as we said before a peaceful paradise on Earth.

If you want to visit this place, you should know that this is still a working abbey and visitor numbers are tightly controlled, so little disturbs the abbey’s contemplative calm and the exquisite lines of its 850-year-old architecture. The monks make a living from growing lavender and producing honey, both of which can be bought from the abbey shop. Okay! We’ll stop the small talk and show you a piece of this heaven on Earth!

The mark of Paris, Eiffel Tower is one of the main attractions tourists visit Paris at the first place. This wrought iron lattice tower was constructed in 1889 as an entrance to the 1889’s World’s Fair.

Except for its marvelous beauty, this monument is the most visited in the World from nearly 6.91 million people in 2015 and that makes her even more attractive to visit.

Let’s take a look at her during rain, snow and sunshine. Either way, it’s going to take your breath!

Watercolor paintings by French artist.

Thierry Duval – French painter, who was interested in painting since childhood. He received an education in the field of decorative arts and works as an illustrator in an advertising agency in Paris, but he draws what he loves. Thierry Duval has his own multi-layer technique of applying the paint, which allows him to create paintings with almost hyper realistic detail.
