Le Salin de Gruissan: Salt, Oysters and Wildlife Haven
Le Salin de Gruissan welcomes its visitors with a stunning display of pink lakes cast against a blue horizon. Each summer, salt is harvested here by hand using traditional methods.

Growing Underground – London’s First Underground Farm

World War II tunnels built as air-raid shelters provide the perfect environment for this unique urban farm. Cities dwellers are on the rise all over the […]

Always running around between work and school, we cherish our […]

A Visit To – Oh Légumes Oubliés
Our summer holiday in the delightful area of Bassin d’Arcachon gave us a chance to discover the celebrated Bordeaux region of France.

As we explored it was hard not to fall under the […]
Planning A Visit To The World Expo
My summer meanderings will take me via the World Expo in Milan. The theme this year is “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” something I have become quite passionate about since starting The Flexitarian. Food sustainability is one of the biggest challenges we face today and having so many countries gathered together to show their take on the problem appears to […]
