Hello and welcome to Monday Escapes, its been a busy week for me with an amazing trip to France to check out Puy Du Fou and wow. It was the most incredible trip where we got to see many shows that defied belief. You know when you think nothing can shock me any more, then it does? I left believing in magic. The whole place made me feel like a child, but Puy Du Fou had a class and style that makes it stand out from the rest.
Here are a few pics from our amazing trip and a review from our amazing hotel themed on the Tudor times.
This week the link up is being hosted by Claire at Tin Box Traveller and Lisa at Travel Loving Family. You’ll find the linky tool here on Tin Box Traveller’s blog.
On Cruising with Kids we’ve been so busy that it’s called for a round-up of our recent adventures including a visit to France for Lisa to see MSC Cruises’ next new ship MSC Bellissima floated for the first time. Sarah has also written everything you need to know about cruising on Celebrity Silhouette and we’ve got not one but two great giveaways running: win a copy of the children’s travel book Great Voyages or a personalised travel wall print from My Icon Story.
On to Monday Escapes…
Monday Escapes is all about looking back at wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be about a trip abroad or even be a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
The linky is run by Karen at Mini Travellers, Claire from Tin Box Traveller ( Who is hosting this week) Lisa from Travel Loving Family and myself.
We are also absolutely delighted to link up with Lonely Planet to offer our number one favourite blog post of the fortnight either a destination guide, or a title from the Lonely Planet Kids range. (See T&C’s below). Just another great reason to link up with Monday Escapes!
What’s in it for you?
The number one thing is you’ll be sharing your fantastic posts with a like-minded community and grabbing some travel inspiration for yourself. As a bonus you have a chance to have your blog post featured on all four of the hosts’ blogs each fortnight, introducing your blog to even more people.
Our favourite posts from last time
Here’s the posts that caught Karen’s and my eye last time:
Karen loved this post about Visiting the Merlet Animal Park from Picolo Explorer. You just have to go over and look at the pictures of the goats.
Karen also LOVED the stunning photos in Kerri’Anne from Life As Our Little Family’s review of her wigwam glamping trip at May Half Term.
I adored this post from Sharon at Exploring Our World. We all love a castle don’t we? And Sharon has gathered and awe inspiring collection in her post.
And if street art is your thing Bryna from Dotted Line Travels’ post on street art in Montreal is awe inspiring. She said she could spend all day looking at street art. There is something so raw but so beautiful about it.
Hop over to Claire’s blog, Tin Box Traveller, to find out whose post was out favourite.
