Anyone have info on Beauvais France ? 🙃

Dilara I've been to Beauvais airport, if it counts 😂 This is the one low-cost airlines use instead of the more expensive ones closer to Paris. I've seen the cathedral from a distance, but I don't remember visiting it or the town itself, although I no doubt have, as a child, on a family outing from Paris.
It's a small town with a medieval heart surrounded by modern neighbourhoods, including quite a lot of social housing, 1-2 hours north of Paris. (edited) 2mo

Dilara It looks nice: https://www.aeroportparisbeauvais.com/en/tourism/translate-to-anglais-visiter-be... but it's probably not worth crossing the Atlantic for 😁. Although if you have a car, it could be a good base for visiting Amiens, Compiègne, Paris, and various small medieval cities.

TheBookHippie @Dilara Mr BookHippie has to travel there for work in about 10 months wondering if I should go 🙃 1mo

Dilara @TheBookHippie Oh you should definitely go then 😁
ETA: And when you've finished visiting Beauvais's historical center, you can drive to Chantilly ( https://chateaudechantilly.fr/en/ ) and the next day, to Compiègne and pretend you're Joséphine: https://chateaudecompiegne.fr/en/royal-and-imperial-palace. There's even a French/American museum close by! ( https://museefrancoamericain.fr/en ) (edited) 1mo

TheBookHippie @Dilara thx so much!!! I‘m excited. I loathe to fly so it has to be worth it! (edited) 1mo

Dilara @TheBookHippie You're welcome! It occurred to me that a reader and a hippie might be interested in Ermenonville, the resting place of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the philosopher who inspired HD Thoreau and others.
https://www.chantilly-senlis-tourisme.com/en/the-destination/noteworthy-sites/le...
There is a park (w/ Rousseau's cabin), a castle & a Wild West theme park (I'd steer clear of it unless you love Spaghetti westerns!) 1mo

TheBookHippie @Dilara oh my word!!!!!! Yes yes yes!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 1mo

Camping this weekend and I brought along this little book to get started on planning our honeymoon trip. I'm getting excited! 8 months to go 😄
Hit me with your recs for books set in Scotland to read before our trip or places to see while we're there!
#weekendreading #travelplanning

TheBookHippie How fun! 2mo

Kitta Trainspotting is a fairly obvious suggestion but it‘s a tough read as it‘s in Scot‘s dialect! Ian rankin if you like crime, Iain Banks for speculative fiction, and How to be Both by Ali Smith or Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart for literary fiction! I used to live in Scotland and it was amazing. Have a great time! 2mo

Kitta Oh wait How to be both is just by a Scottish author not set in Scotland 😆 2mo

Kitta Most of Ali Smith‘s books are set in Cambridge, where she lives 2mo

peanutnine @Kitta oooh thank you!!! 2mo

vonnie862 We did Scotland last summer and loved it! How long are you going to be there? 2mo

Bookwomble We went to Arran a couple of years ago, which was lovely, particularly if you have time for a walk around the adjacent Holy Island, with its Buddhist monastery and rock paintings. 3mo

I‘m off to Egypt in September 2024 so I‘m doing some research! I‘m being a bit cheeky and I‘ve actually picked 2 songs. Walk like an Egyptian by the Bangles and All over the world by ELO.
I love #titlesandtunes, it‘s so much fun! ♥️
Thanks @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen
