Destinations
PERP I GNAN
With its central location on a narrow
lane in a pedestrianised area on the
edge of the old quarter, close to the
shops and restaurants on Quai Sébastien
Vauban, the friendly two-star Hotel de la
Loge makes the perfect base for a break
in Perpignan. It’s small with clean rooms
in either traditional or modern decor and
friendly service – and it’s competitively
priced, too. A wrought-iron staircase
leads from the reception area to the 22
rooms over two floors. There’s a small
bar-restaurant and a patio and garden
to relax in, and continental breakfast is
served in the mornings.
PALMA MALLORCA
Part of the Es Baluard Modern Art
Museum, Restaurant Es Baluard offers
good food in attractive surroundings,
with tables on a large terrace with views
across the Mediterranean. The menu
includes artichokes with ibérico ham
and foie shavings and tuna tataki with
wasabi mayonnaise, as well as dishes like
seafood pasta or mushroom risotto with
white truffle oil, or steak tartar, magret of
duck with noodles, wild red tuna or cod
fillet with roasted vegetables. The dessert
menu includes chocolate brownie, carrot
cake or chocolate cake.

PAR I S
The stunning gardens at the Palace of Versailles need to be replanted around once
every 100 years to be maintained. Louis XVI did so at the beginning of his reign, as did
Napoleon III. Following damage caused by a series of storms in the late 20th century,
the garden has been fully replanted and is now similar to how it would have looked to Louis
XIV. Part of the appeal of the gardens is the fountains. Every summer more than 30 of the
garden’s 55 historic fountains with their 620 water jets are set to atmospheric music, and the
spectacle is particularly captivating at night. When night falls, the gardens are transformed to
offer an unforgettable visual and musical treat as the fountains and groves come alive with
colourful and dramatic lighting effects. There will be water features in the Mirror Fountain,
lasers streaking across the dark in the Colonnade Grove and a fireworks display in front of
the Grand Canal by the Groupe F to conclude the evening’s entertainment. Performances
take place every Saturday evening from 8.30pm to 10.40pm, with fireworks from 10.50pm to
11.05pm until 15th September. You can also enjoy daytime performances at weekends until
28th October. For details of performance times and tickets, visit
