@lettHello dear travel lovers. As part of our Normandy trip we visited Honfleur, one of France’s most charming harbor towns. Judging by the abundance of greenery and flowers and most importantly by how its name sounds, the word fleur in Honfleur might seem to come from the French word for flower. Naturally, this makes one wonder why the city was given this name. In fact this suspicion probably should not arise at all, because in reality it has nothing to do with flowers. The word actually comes from Scandinavian languages and means river mouth. And indeed Honfleur is built right at the mouth of a river. So, at least historically speaking, Honfleur has no connection to flowers. But still, I cannot help saying this. Flowers are everywhere. On the streets, at market stalls, in small flower beds, on the buildings. Quite literally, everything is filled with greenery and flowers.

@larissalugoHello friends. Today I would like to tell you about another small yet very interesting town I visited during my trip to Germany. This town is Quedlinburg, located in the state of Saxony Anhalt. It was founded in the 10th century by King Henry I, also known as Henry the Fowler, who is buried here. As always we began our walk at the Marktplatz, the market square. The square is both beautiful and completely authentic. There are many half timbered buildings here. Overall Quedlinburg holds the record for having the highest number of half timbered houses in Germany. According to various sources, the town has around two thousand of these houses. They appear on almost every corner and no two look the same. The colors differ, the constructions vary slightly and the infill patterns within the wooden framework change from building to building. The overall appearance is very distinctive.
