After walking through the historical and romantic streets of Verona, it is a good idea to visit the outskirts to surround oneself with Nature.

But this is not just any Nature; this is a garden dating from 1617, and part of the Villa Maffei property, which served as General Napoleon III’s headquarters.

25 kms south-east of Verona and 15 kms south of the Lago di Garda, all kinds of flowers, trees and fauna (look out for the deer) can be found in the more than 600,000 square metres to create a “locus amoenus”, where every last detail has been cared for.

It is easy to get to the Ouessant Island by ferry from Brest. Ouessant Island is a place with just 1,000 inhabitants and a place so windy that no tree grows there.

Its name literally means “island of terror”. Despite this sinister name, its traditional houses and black sheep grazing freely on the grass of the island make this area a lovely and quiet place. In this place of extreme western France, people live in harmony with nature and is ideal for a recuperative holiday.

The island is part of Armorica Regional Nature Park and one can spot a variety of birds, some of them endangered. His other attractions are museums Ecomuseum Ouessant and the Museum of Lighthouse.
