There’s more than a few reasons for all the fuss about Paris. Countless musicians, artists and writers knew what they were talking about when they praised the city’s lights, life and lovers.

While the term is incredibly relative when pertaining to art,  the traveling Affordable Art Fair hopes to foster — with its varying prices — the purchase of pieces coming from all over the world; about half of the galleries represented are [...]

Paris-dwellers were greeted with more than retailers and droves of tourists today on the Champs Élysées. Trees, flowers and even livestock were brought into the city by the French Young Farmers union, and will remain their until Monday evening.
It’s an attempt to remind les citoyens of the importance of farmers, who face increasing financial hardship [...]

Now, StudentMundial.com — the concierge service that helps erasmus and international students find accommodation in their new locale — has made the process even more painless. The online business is offering [...]

You can find hotels that allow smoking, hotels that allow pets, and hotels that allow early check-in, but you can’t always find hotels that cater to gay and lesbian travelers.
Until now, that is.
Expedia.com launched yesterday its “LGBT-welcoming” feature, as well as its LGBT store: a Web page that — with the help of the International [...]
