Shopping in Melbourne

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Emma Gray in Australia | Leave a comment

While I was in Melbourne, I visited the Queen Victoria Market- a sprawling, busy, open-air market, selling everything from delicious fresh produce to clothes and handbags. Open everyday except Monday and Wednesday, the market attracts visitors and locals alike, all of whom are keen to find good quality products at great prices. The markets themselves sold so much amazing food that, if I hadn’t been getting on a plane back to Perth that evening, I would definitely have bought loads. I … →

Sydney’s Best Bars

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Emma Gray in Australia | 8 Comments

After weeks of studying hard for my finals at University, I arrived in Sydney in definite need of a stiff drink, or ten. I came across some great bars in Sydney during my trip and here’s a selection of my favourites. Hotel CBD Bar This bar is in York Street, a little off the main tourist bar area, and as such it’s much quieter and more relaxed. The chic, minimalist interior with high ceilings and quirky design features gives the bar a refined … →

Traditional Nantes

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Emma Gray in France | 5 Comments

My previous post on my new favourite French city, Nantes, was all about how contemporary art and architecture was taking over the city, creating an incredibly chic and cool place to explore. However, whilst Nantes is absolutely bursting with contemporary art; its older and more traditional sights definitely shouldn’t be overlooked. One of the first places I visited was Chateau de ducs de Bretagne or Castle of the Dukes of Brittany; an imposing fortified chateau which dates all the way … →

LE VOYAGE A NANTES & ESTUAIRE

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Emma Gray in France | 1 Comment

I have a confession. Last week I fell absolutely head over heels in love with the sixth largest city in France; Nantes. (Just please don’t tell the south of France!) One of the main reasons for this outpouring of love for Nantes is the incredible amount of contemporary art projects taking place within the city. Art is everywhere. Why? Well, although Nantes has some stunning traditional architecture such as the Château des ducs de Bretagne, the Passage Pommeraye shopping arcade, imposing … →
