Every Year between February and early March the night becomes a spectacle of enchanting lights in a couple of countries. It's called the Lantern Festival, a cultural festivity celebrated on the fifteenth day of the lunisolar year in the Chinese Calendar. This Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebration, a ceremony that has been done since the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago.


The Festival consist of children going to the temple at night with their paper lanterns. These lanterns are beautifully adorned and a lot of them have an animal shaped form. The festival is used to cultivate positive relationships and celebrate our blessings. Furthermore, the lanterns can symbolize letting go of the past.

The Overhanging Marqueyssac

3:35 PM | Labels: , , , , ,

Have you ever seen a spectacular place in movies and wondered if it exist in real life? I have! and let me tell you, when I first saw a picture of The Garden of Marqueyssa I immediately thought it had some kind of special effects. The rareness and perfection of this unique garden makes the whole landscape enchanting.


The magnificent sculptured garden surrounds a 17th century chateau. But it was in the 1860's when Julien de Cervel started to create what today is known as Marqueyssa. Boxwood trees carved in wonderful shapes are the most used in the garden.



The Chateau of Marqueyssac has been opened to curious travelers since the 1996 and it features a walking trail, a chapel, a Belvedere pavilion and these overhanging gardens.

Now I'll let the pictures talk for themselves, they will spark and lift your spirit up. All it needs is a little bit of pixie dust to make it magical.


The Chateau is located in the hills of Perigord, Vézac, a commune in the southwest of France.
