May 2026 – Paris

It’s just a stone’s throw from Crete to Cyprus, but that’s enough to change continents. Although a member of the European Union, Cyprus belongs geographically to Asia. Having approached Cambodia, Armenia and Georgia earlier this year, I’ll be continuing my ‘Asian Destinations’ year in May and June with the most European of Asian countries first. The dividing line between East and West is, sadly, all too visible there.

May is a dream month in France, with no fewer than four public holidays leading to long weekends. The key to success lies in booking early, taking a gamble on the weather. As April was very sunny, the coming weeks are looking promising. This is my chance to take the high-speed trains down to the south of France again, which is so pleasant in spring before the summer heat and crowds set in. The Pictures of the day will capture this.
