"On a sunny June day in Edinburgh, I went to see where my ancestor lost his head." In my latest for @CNTraveler, I chase the ghosts of my McCulloch kin from an Edinburgh guillotine to southern #Scotland (and Sir Walter Scott makes an appearance) => https://t.co/7rI6VsSNu8

There’s a lot to love about cool and creative Antwerp- and there’s never been a better time to visit. Sharing my love in the Sep/Oct issue of @CNTraveler , now on newsstands https://t.co/A140d1Skx6

The scene at the Parc de Sceaux #Hanami festival last weekend - I’ve never seen such crowds for the #cherryblossoms. #Paris #spring https://t.co/vqwY4JlZq0

Spend the night at the Palais Garnier, the famous #Paris opera house that inspired "The Phantom of the Opera." @Airbnb is no stranger to buzzy stunts but this one is something special. I had a blast reporting this for @AFARmedia https://t.co/Fopan8CM0u

Mont Saint Michel Bay is home to environmental riches as wondrous as the abbey’s artistry. My latest for @NatGeoTravel looks at the future of #tourism at #France's most popular site outside Paris as it heads into its millennium year=> https://t.co/WVEdK8V8uP

Jef Aérosol adds poetry to the Paris skyline- Baudelaire in the Butte-aux-Cailles: "I'll see the springtimes, the summers, the autumns; And when #winter comes with its monotonous snow, I'll close all the shutters and draw all the drapes, So I can build at night my fairy palaces." https://t.co/3vDxTs423r

A walk in the mossy, misty woods on the winter #solstice, deep in the French countryside https://t.co/HyaRMPWTqa

Just an hour until the grand départ of @RouteDuRhum, the legendary transatlantic sailing race. For the 12th edition, 138 skippers will sail St Malo > Guadeloupe, including the navigatrice-politician @CathChabaud, the first woman to complete the Vendée Globe around-the-world race

From the terrific recent Jef Aérosol show to enormous new murals, #streetart is having a moment in Paris. An intriguing free exhibit at the Hotel de Ville dives into the movement's surprising origins. Find out more on @Bonjour_Paris => https://t.co/i5pDYF2M4k https://t.co/y4jvxX0HHK

At the magnificent Chateau de Sully-sur-Loire recently, I was struck by the charpente made of 15th century oak beams (entire trees from local forests), shaped in a gothic barrel vault. Walking under this roof, I remembered the wood fragrance at Notre Dame https://t.co/3eeSMZjgNj https://t.co/p5T42n2NF7

Lesser known than the big Loire Valley chateaux, ⁦@La_Bussiere⁩ has a park designed by André le Nôtre, a vegetable potager classified “Jardin Remarquable” and an antique fishing collection (including a “living fossil” specimen of a prehistoric fish). #travel #France https://t.co/fDbbYIjrsI

The approach of Toussaint in rural France- the hottest I can remember - and chrysanthemums color the cemeteries, now swept and cleaned (my kids have been scrubbing the ancestors’ tombs) https://t.co/mInfUiWRQA
