Absolute Splendor of the Loire Valley
With endless green hills, picturesque lanes of trees, colorful flower beds and towns that seem untouched by time, Loire Valley in France is one of the most breathtaking attractions in the country. It takes visitors on a journey back through time, where the Loire Valley was a status symbol, and royalty and nobility fought for land to erect their massive chateaus across the countryside. Many writers and poets are still attracted to this breathtaking part of France as a source of inspiration and peace, and it is unsurprisingly referred to as the Garden of France.

Belgium’s Amazing Technopolis
The idea of creating a museum like Technopolis was first explored by Erik Jacquemyn, director of the Technopolic Science Museum. He began running science programs for the public in 1985, but nothing to the magnificent scale of the current day Technopolis. With the support of the Flemish Government, Technopolis came to life in 2000, and has become more of an activity and attraction in Mechelen, Belgium, than a museum. Here, both children and adults are transported on a journey of education through fun activities, thought provoking exhibitions and ever changing interactive adventures.
