Time for gentle wandering is a rite of autumn when summer’s crowds begin to slip away... in Ireland, where the words of Irish poets and writers linger in the air, the countryside is rich with green and the foliage peaks in shades of orange and red... along riverside walks and through quaint villages... when outside, coolness invigorates and inside, Irish pubs are warmed by music and the gift of fluid conversation... In Provence, where misty mornings ripen into still sunny days, fields of lavender are prepared for winter’s rest, the land recovers from summer’s dry heat and festivals proclaim the season of harvests – of wine, chestnuts, olives and truffles... And in Paris, where the locals are back after holidays away, museums and restaurants unveil new offerings of the season... it’s chilly enough to enjoy a cream sauce prepared tout à fait française (in perfect French style) yet warm enough to savor time lingered at a sidewalk café... or the uncorking of a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau.
A Week in… Ireland
Emerald Isle adventure begins with a royal flair in County Clare at Dromoland Castle... takes off for the heights of Ireland’s Atlantic coast on a drive through the limestone landscape of The Burren to the Cliffs of Moher of movie fame... and continues to County Cork, for a breathtaking drive over the Caha Pass to an elegant retreat at the Hayfield Manor Hotel. You’ll find far more than the gift of “gab”
to marvel at during sightseeing at Blarney Castle, the 17th-century Charles Fort and the lovely village of Kinsale... Feasting is next: for the eyes at Waterford Crystal and for the soul in Dublin, where dinner is served up pub-style to the joyful lilt of Irish music and dance... and at The Westbury Hotel, which means city-center elegance in the heart of the cultural quarter... Sociable is a relative term, but Dubliners set a high standard which you’ll feel as you venture from the main thoroughfare of O’Connell Street through the city’s elegant Georgian neighborhoods and... at Trinity College Library seeing pages of history in the Book of Kells, on stylish Grafton Street and along the quay-bordered River Liffey. Outside Dublin, feel time fall away on an excursion to Wicklow, where the remarkable ruins of Glendalough offer glimpses of monastic life devoted to peaceful isolation.
