Voici mon journal photo pour vous convaincre de visiter Lisbonne, avec 30 de mes images préférées d’un voyage de 3 jours passé à explorer les ruelles historiques de la capitale portugaise, la vie portugaise authentique et les vues époustouflantes que la ville a à offrir.
La première fois que j’ai posé les yeux sur Lisbonne, j’en suis tombé amoureux. Après cinq visites dans la capitale portugaise, je peux dire que ce coup de foudre est toujours aussi fort.
Pourquoi je l’aime tant ?
Comment la décrire ? Elle a l’atmosphère détendue de la Méditerranée sans être somnolente ; elle est historique sans être guindée, tout y est un peu hipster, elle est jeune et elle ne prétend pas être ce qu’elle n’est pas. J’ai lu que certains la trouvaient « sale » à cause des graffitis sur les bâtiments et les tramways, mais je suis tout à fait d’accord. C’est ce qui fait le charme de Lisbonne, ce qui la rend unique et belle.
Lisbonne n’est pas non plus ce qu’on imagine lorsqu’on pense à une « capitale européenne ». Elle n’est pas aussi grandiose que Paris ou Rome ; elle n’a ni tour Eiffel ni Colisée. Bien qu’elle soit la deuxième plus ancienne capitale d’Europe (après Athènes), Lisbonne ne paraît pas vieille. Et il y a une raison à cela : elle a dû être presque entièrement reconstruite après le tremblement de terre de 1755. De ce fait, la Lisbonne d’aujourd’hui est relativement jeune comparée à ses homologues européennes.
Lisbonne a souvent l’impression d’être composée de plusieurs petites villes plutôt que d’une seule grande capitale. Chaque quartier possède son propre caractère et mérite d’être exploré !

Je l’ai visitée fin octobre, lorsque le rythme était plus calme et que les conversations amicales des voisins remplissaient les rues. Lisbonne n’est jamais vraiment tranquille, mais l’automne apporte un sentiment de paix plus rare en été.
Voici mon journal photo de Lisbonne : rempli de mes photos préférées pour vous inspirer, vous aussi, pour vos prochaines aventures à Lisbonne.

Welcome to Tweed, in Hastings County!
I bet you never thought about visiting Tweed around Christmas but let me tell you, this small town that goes full Hallmark at this time of year.
Fresh snow, twinkle lights, hot chocolate… and suddenly you’re wondering if you’ve wandered into a holiday movie set. That was my entire weekend in Tweed.
This little town does not hold back:
✨ an outdoor Christmas market with 50 local vendors,
🎅 the sweetest Santa parade downtown,
☕ cozy café to warm up in between,
🏡 and the cutest places to stay if you want to turn it into a full festive getaway.
I’m saying this as your friend: add Tweed to your Christmas list for next year. You won’t want to miss it.
And don’t worry… the full Winter itinerary is coming very soon. 🎄✨

I even finished the day warming up at @tabulemiddleasterncuisine , Oakville’s newest Middle Eastern spot, and that Lebanese tea was perfect after a chilly day outside!

Stick season got you feeling a little… meh?
Same. That weird in-between stretch where the leaves are gone but the snow hasn’t committed yet can make everything look a bit grey.
But here’s the thing : boardwalk trails are the perfect cure.
They still feel magical, they photograph beautifully, and they’re the ideal “in-between season” adventure when you want nature without the mud, slush, or sad-looking trees.
So I rounded up my favourite boardwalks across Ontario :the ones that instantly make stick season feel softer, calmer, prettier.
👉 Scroll through for my top picks and save a few for your next weekend outing. And the good news is, these are just as gorgeous under the snow so they can definitely be used later on!
And tell me… what boardwalk should I add to the list next? 🌲🪵💛

I wasn’t really planning on time-travelling… but that’s kind of what happened. 👀🎄
You know when you walk into a place expecting a cute little visit, and suddenly you’re standing there thinking, “Okay wait… how is this so magical?” That was me at Glanmore National Historic Site in Belleville.
I went in knowing they decorate the house in Victorian-era style for the holidays, but honestly, I had no idea how beautiful and detailed it would be.
If you’re anywhere near Belleville this month, go wander through Glanmore for an hour or two!
Save this for your next little holiday adventure ✨If you’ve never experienced a Victorian Christmas… you’re in for such a treat.
What’s one holiday tradition that instantly puts you in a festive mood?
