Hello / Bonjour, welcome to Lookoom!

I want to put pictures on your travel dreams by showing you what I saw, what I liked and what I didn’t like so much. Then, the choice is yours.

May 2024 – Paris

Istanbul and Malta stand on the same line separating Europe from the other continents, Asia and Africa. Beyond geography, it is peoples, religions and civilisations that have clashed there. These repeated confrontations have deeply shaped the history of these places, leaving visible vestiges of the dual influence they have had over the years. Istanbul and Malta will be the two Destinations in May’s articles.

May marks the time when weekends become opportunities to visit other regions. The vegetation emerges from its dreary hibernation, the days grow longer and the sun heats up again. No fewer than four public holidays grace the French calendar. I start the month in Toulouse before visiting other major French cities, with Amsterdam as an interlude for the Frans Hals exhibition.
