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.
NEWQUAY
As the sun sets over North Fistral
Beach on 26th and 27th October, a
group of international wave warriors
will be entering the water to ride waves
in the dark. One of the only competitive
night time surfing events in the world,
the Smart Parking Night Surf starts on the
Saturday at 3pm when the first group of
surfers will take to the waves for the Open
Division. They will continue to battle it
during dusk and into the night, finishing at
11.30pm. The event finishes with fireworks.
NORWI CH
Esther Rantzen: That’s Life! on
20th October at the Norwich
Playhouse is an evening with Dame
Esther Rantzen and her daughter, journalist
and broadcaster Rebecca Wilcox. For
one night only, the broadcasting legend
and her daughter discuss their careers,
personal lives and family ties. This is a rare
opportunity to get up close and personal
with one of the country’s national
treasures as she shares anecdotes from
over 50 years in broadcasting.
PAR I S
The art world will meet up in Paris from 18th-21st October for Contemporary Art Week. The
art fest gets off to a stunning start with FIAC (Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain),
the prestigious and must-visit international contemporary art fair, which brings together
some of the most famous artists within the elegant halls of the Grand Palais. This year, the
list of galleries taking part brings together exhibitors from 25 countries, including two new
countries – Greece and Peru. In total, some 1,500 artists show their work for the 70,000
spectators to see. The FIAC is also the occasion for an artist residing in France, or of French
origin, to be awarded the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize, which brings with it international
recognition. Like all fairs, the FIAC is also a marketplace where the works of art change hands
and professionals meet.
Alongside the main event, other fringe fairs are also organised in various parts of the city
during FIAC. The YIA Art Fair embraces a wide spectrum of the arts, while other events are
more specific: design and art at Art Élysées, digital art at Variation Media Art Fair, outsider art
at the Outsider Art Fair and urban art at 8e Avenue.
