Conceived by French exhibition curator, journalist and author @marionvignal as a dialogue between architecture and contemporary art and design, the first edition of @geniusloci_experience took over @villa.angevolant, a 1920s neo-Palladian villa on the outskirts of Paris designed by the father of modern Italian design Gio Ponti. Bringing together work by more than twenty international artists and designers, several of which were specifically commissioned for the exhibition, the 9-day event not only revitalized the century-old residence and highlighted Ponti’s major inspirational themes, but also enabled visitors to experience it as a true Gesamtkunstwerk — a complete work of art.

I’ve always loved the romance of reading on window ledge seats and this is one of my favourites in the most stunning room I stayed in at the forner house of the architect Geoffrey Bawa in Sri Lanka called Lunugala which I recommend a couple of nights in to anyone visiting Sri Lanka
Bordeaux at harvest time has a palpable excitement too it. We witnessed fireworks one night, all these wonderful vines heavy with succulent grapes that will make some of my favourite Saint-Emilllion wines and tales of few restaurants with signs in the window saying “closed for harvest” as many of them are attached to vineyards. Do the little train tour around the Saint Emillion vineyards - it was very beautiful and the stop at Chateau Rochebelle very interesting #tovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit #bordeaux #saintemilion (at Saint-Émilion) https://www.instagram.com/p/BotGxubhYWm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8554u2afzzkm

Where are your favourite spots for boats at night? . The harbour at Sorrento lights up and we managed to find a quiet restaurant slightly set back. Lovely evening
Loved this cool installation at the restaurant Artis Domus in Sorrento.

This #corneliaparker conceptual art piece at the #victoriaandalbertmuseum is heart reading and thought provoking and a reminder that some conceptual art has real substance. She got the brass instruments from a northern England mining down where the mines have been closed and many of the brass bands and souls have gone quiet and at the Tower of London - symbolic in its own right - she had these vacuum compressed into lifeless flat objects which hang horizontally between two floors for the viewer to look down upon and through to the floor below. #exploringtheglobe #worldbestshot_ig #placestovisit #travelbrilliantly #discerningfoodandtravel #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit #londonbylondoners #londonart #londonartists #conceptualart (at Victoria and Albert Museum)
The magic of #ulpotha yoga retreat in Sri Lanka. This photo says it all - beautiful, serene, few rules, freedom and even for a beginner like me the yoga was great too. #exploringtheglobe #worldbestshot_ig #placestovisit #travelbrilliantly #discerningfoodandtravel #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit
These gates open up to a secret garden on the grounds of the lovely #countryhousehotel @lucknam_park in Wiltshire. Great place to stop for afternoon tea which I did after taking an American friend to see the nearby famous lovely village of Castle Coombe. #exploringtheglobe #worldbestshot_ig #placestovisit #travelbrilliantly #discerningfoodandtravel #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit (at Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa)
I first came across the lovely #lowerslaughtermanor hotel years ago when booking a corporate event. Tucked away in the quintessentially pretty cotswolds village this is a gem of a reminder of time gone by. After visiting he national trudy property Hidcote we landed here for afternoon tea. It’s a great drive in a convertible too ! I aspire to stay here some time. #exploringtheglobe #worldbestshot_ig #placestovisit #travelbrilliantly #discerningfoodandtravel #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit #countryhousehotel #fivestar #fivestarhotel #fivestarshotel #fivestarluxury #luxuryhotel #luxuryhotels #cotswolds #cotswoldlife (at Lower Slaughter Manor)
This is the lovely Buckland manor hotel in The Cotswolds near Broadway. If you drive by Satnav you will be taken through the most exquisite English countryside. The three course set lunch is excellent value and it would be a lovely place to stay for a few days. Try a little croquet to work up an appetite for afternoon tea or drinks on the terrace or in the beautifully panelled drawing room. #thecotswolds #countryhousehotels #fivestar #luxurylifestyle #discerningfoodandtravel #travelingtheglobe #travellingtheglobe #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit https://www.instagram.com/p/By0BKNBFYAt/?igshid=fc0wftax1zuo
This cement shop in a typical African town area somehow epitomised the sense of the local town for me on a sand road, with he beautiful picture outside. #thegambia #discerningfoodandtravel #travelingtheglobe #travellingtheglobe #thebestdestinations #placestovisit #wonderful_location #fodorsonthego #wanderlusting #worldwonder #ig_greatpics #getaway #letsgosomewhere #travel_captures #travelmore #viewfromhere #womentrip #worldshotz #ig_greatshots #getlostclub #thebestdestinations #travelinspiration #passionpassport #livetravelchannel #placestovisit (at Brufut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBcdKMB-8w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mg4roydh3ndw
