Roussillon, Provence, France.
Our world is full of attractive places, and some of them are definitely worth visiting again and again. The famous Provence style attracts tourists like a magnet. It also attracted us, and we have found ourselves in the south of France to meet with authentic Provence, and finally to feast our eyes on lavender.
A cascade in Linderhof, Bavaria, Germany.
Who has not tried to replicate Versailles, the famous palace of Louis XIV, the king of France? Just look at Sanssouci, Peterhof, or Schoenbrunn to name a few. The young king of Bavaria, Ludwig II, also didn’t remain uninvolved. When he ascended the throne in 1864, at the age of 18, he immediately started to build his fairy tale castles and palaces. One of them, Linderhof, was supposed to be a new Versailles in the Bavarian Alps near the Linder River.
