Travel Tuesday: Colonial Era-Charm ~ San Miguel de Allende

By: Unknown on 10/14/2014

Take a trip with me on this #TravelTuesday to the magical, and quintessential, San Miguel de Allende! Just four hours from Mexico City, in Guanajuato, you will discover that this Mexican bohemia and historical gem is not just a small colonial town rich in history, but is home to the artsy. Known as an actual artists’ colony, Unesco World Heritage site, and the seat of Mexico’s 19th-century independence movement. GASP! The city’s historic centre is characterized by baroque churches, neoclassical casas, and cobblestone streets. Virtually free from traffic lights, mega-retailers and fast-food chains, The city has boutique hotels, a vibrant nightlife to add to its colonial era-charm, as well as festivals and folklore that seem to defy the passage of time. My highlights were The Matilda Hotel, Cumpanio for breakfast, and Aperimx, for lunch or dinner inside the luxury boutique hotel Dos Casas! Ladies and Gents, this is the perfect weekend getaway, I'm in love!

Let's take a trip to the Foundation Louis Vuitton on this #TravelTuesday with the talented Frank Gehry's! His latest museum project opens this fall in Paris and it is unlike anything the intoxicating city of lights has ever seen! With its complex, muscular & delicate architecture, this modern day crystal palace could easily be noted as a 21st-century take on Le Grand Palais, simply divine! This beautiful building is the first of many artistic acts of the Foundation Louis Vuitton, who's mission is to support the arts as well as education. Spectacular! Foundation Louis Vuitton will open its doors this October to the public for the first time!  Can't wait!
