Spent some lovely time last weekend staying with friends in Orbec, a small 2500-people town in Normandy. As much as I love Paris, it sure does wonders to the body and mind to leave the city once in a while.
A stroll through the Sunday market, followed by visiting the church where my friends will get married next Spring.

Day 3 in Berlin, woke up early for breakfast at Zeit für Brot (Time for Bread), a charming bread shop in the Mitte neighborhood. Cinnamon buns and milchkaffee, a perfect start to the day!
Then, a visit of the Reichstag, the Imperial Diet building. The large glass dome at the very top of the Reichstag has a 360-degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape and is free or charge to visit, complete with an audio-guided walking tour that last for about 45 minutes. You do need to register in advance, and don’t forget to bring your reservation confirmation and ID when going to the appointment.

Day 2 in Berlin started off on a serious note with a visit to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a.k.a. the Holocaust Memorial, a site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.
Then, the Topography of Terror, formerly the headquarters of the Secret State Police during the “Third Reich” and now a documentary center.

Just 30 minutes by train from Strasbourg, Colmar is another cute Alsatian city with a well preserved old town. Like Strasbourg, it’s especially charming during Christmas time, though I imagine it to be a good day-trip destination anytime of the year.

Finally made it to Strasbourg for its enchanting Christmas festivities. But first, some snapshots from during the day, starting with a stroll up North in the German Quarter.
Back to the town center, climbing up 332 steps to the top of Strasbourg Cathedral.
View of the Rohan Palace from the Cathedral climb.
