Sedona, AZ
By: Laurie Gough
I’m hiking in Boynton Canyon near Sedona, Arizona, and the woman behind me is berating her husband for not warning her to wear hiking boots, speaking to him in a voice which tells of ongoing bitterness, a voice which discourages calm discussion on the matter. I ....

Hotel Ca’Sagredo
Venice, Italy
By: Jessica Colley
Some cities are worth exploring over and over again.
I don’t think I could ever get enough of Berlin, Paris, or New York City. Does Venice belong on this list? I think it does. My recent trip reinforced this idea: I saw things I hadn’t a clue existed ....

Travel Insider: famtip of the day
1. Linger over brunch. Brunch has most definitely become “a thing” in Paris, and there’s no shame in passing your entire day partaking in the act. Check out some of our favorite spots here.
2. Shop in the Marais. While many boutiques (and even the big department stores) are closed on Sunday, you can still get your shopping fix in the Marais. Begin on rue des Franc-Bourgeois and rue Vieille du Temple, and explore from there.
3. Hit the rue des Rosiers. Paris’s Jewish neighborhood is at its most lively on Sundays, when people line up for falafel or pick up the signature sandwiches at the renowned Sacha Finklsztajn bakery.
4. Relax and recharge. A little pampering is the Parisian’s prerogative, especially on Sunday. Splurge at a hotel spa (those at the George V and the Plaza Athénée don’t look too shabby) or head to a hammam for an earthier experience.
5. See a movie. Hunker down at a little art-house cinema, hang with the cool kids at MK2 Quai de Seine, or retreat to the magical La Pagode for a cinematic escape.
6. Browse the stacks. Indulge your inner bookworm at one of Paris’ historic bookstores.

7. Hit the market. Fuel up for the week at one of the many markets that are open on Sunday. There’s a great energy at Bastille, or you can browse organic products at Raspail or Batignolles.
8. Try a small museum. Most museums are open on Sunday, but the biggies tend to be mobbed. Try going further afield to the Musée Jacquemart-André, the Musée Nissim de Camondo, or one of these picks.
9. Work out. Or “work out.” Or fine, just stroll around, ideally on the Promenade Plantée.
10. Flee the scene. If Paris feels too sleepy, take a day trip to nearby Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte (which predated Versailles), the forest at Fontainebleau, or Monet’s garden in Giverny(open from April through October).

Notre-Dame Towers
The climb starts with 255 steps up the North Tower. Then cross over to the Galerie des Chimeres, which will give you a bird’s eye view of the amazing carved stone monsters. Kids love this! It’s another 147 steps to the Bourdon, which is a giant bell located on the roof. You'll have a spectacular panoramic view. This is the home of Victor Hugo's famous character "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame".
