  • WEBINAR THIS THURSDAY: CafĂ© Culture in Paris with literary maven Melanie Blake at 2:00 PM ET Register at the link in our bio! When we think of Parisian cafĂ©s, we often think of the writers who made Paris a centre of cafĂ© life: Hemingway, Beauvoir, Sartre, Baldwin. Or, to go back a little further, Sand, Voltaire and Diderot. Writers and artists gathering to work and talk has been an integral part of cafĂ© culture almost as long as cafĂ©s have been in Paris. But the city's many cafĂ©s (possibly up to 42,000 at one point) have long attracted Parisians and travellers of all sorts. CafĂ©s, says scholar W. Scott Haine, have been "likened to homes, salons, theatres, churches, sewers, streets, stock exchanges, parliaments and festivals." Melanie will talk about the most important functions cafĂ©s served, especially during the long 19th century, and the changing role these "third spaces" have played in French life. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join her for a lively journey to Paris. Pictured: A painting called “At the Café” by Edouard Manet. #paris #cafes #cafeculture #parisienne #manet #edouardmanet #19thcentury #art #frenchlife #cafeaulait

  • These photos were taken by Quest traveller Ann-Christine while on a safari drive at the Jawai Bandh Leopard Conservation Reserve in India 🐆This area sits within the Aravalli Hills, one of the world’s oldest mountain ranges. Providing an extensive supply of rocky outcrops, the Aravallis punctuate the plains and provide a unique sanctuary for Leopards, which find homes in the cavernous hills. #leopards #leopardsofindia #nature #bigcats #discoverournaturalworld

  • Our group of travellers once came across this man while walking around Amritsar, India. He's smiling here because he found it comical how we thought he was so interesting and photogenic. It was just another day at work for him! 😄 #amritsar #travelindia #travelgram #travelphotography #people #packanopenmind 📾 by @myhomeaway

  • Ann Kirkland snapped this photo of La Conversacion (The Conversation) while touring Havana's old city on our Most Liveable Cities tour last year. The arts have always been supported by the Castro regime in Cuba and many plazas have noteworthy sculptures on display funded or commissioned by the Cuban government! #cuba #visitcuba #cubanart #thearts #supportthearts #packanopenmind
