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!

If you ever wondered does a living rainbow exist, the answer is yes! Eucalyptus deglupta also called the Rainbow Eucalyptus is truly one of the most amazingly stunning trees and it definitely has the most beautiful bark of any tree on Earth.

Rainbow eucalyptus is the only eucalyptus tree indigenous to the northern hemisphere. It grows in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia where it thrives in tropical forests that get a lot of rain. The tree grows up to 250 feet tall in its native environment.

As we heard, all of the people who have seen this amazing tree had fallen in love at first sight. Scroll down and see if you’re going to fall for it too!

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!

Meet one more phenomena of the nature, the meeting of Baltic and North Seas underwater.

The area where the Baltic and the North Sea come into contact is quite shallow and so the contact face is relatively small. There is of course some mixing but it is quite minimal due to the difference of the density.

It is also helped by the fact that the Baltic is not tidal which keeps most of its water within the Baltic basin and this water is constantly being reduced in salinity by the rivers which drain into the Baltic.

If there wasn’t that small opening into the North Sea the Baltic would be a giant fresh water lake. Take a look and enjoy this sea radevu!
