Volvic is a unique natural spring water born in a volcanic natural ecosystem in the Auvergne region of France. 13,500 years ago, a volcanic eruption created an immense natural filter where water flows through six layers of volcanic rock; this creates a one of a kind filtration system that only nature can provide and that is how Volvic comes to life. The activist water brand has been fighting to preserve these ecosystems for years in an effort to restore balance to allow nature to continue to give us its strength and guarantee the purity of the water. As a part of Danone, Volvic has committed to inspire healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking practices and is doing so through several environmentally focused efforts.

When you’ve already tried Parmesan in Italy and patisserie in Paris, you may be looking for a foodie destination that’s a little more off the beaten track. Head to one of these unusual destinations in Europe for a taste of traditional food and contemporary dining that you’ll never forget.

Lisbon, Portugal

One of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Lisbon also has one of the most exciting culinary traditions. For cheap and cheerful street food, make sure you try bifona, from one of the many street side vendors. This is a delicious sandwich made by marinating thin slices of pork in local white wine and ample amounts of garlic, which is then fried and added to a freshly baked bun. The perfect accompaniment is mustard (though some like it plain, to fully enjoy the flavour of the pork,) and an ice-cold Portuguese beer. A trip to Lisbon also wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Portuguese treat Pasteis de Nata. For what is possibly the best in the world, go to historic bakery Pasteis de Belem. They’ve been making Portuguese custard tarts here for years in tune to a secret recipe, and you won’t be able to leave after just trying one.

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn is an unlikely foodie destination, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why Estonian cuisine is so beloved by those who know it. Dive straight in and try what is possibly their most famous culinary export: marzipan. Cafe Maiasmokk is without a doubt the best place for this - they’ve been making on site since it was founded in 1806, while the sweet treat itself was created in the city in the 1400s. For something special for fine dining enthusiasts, visit Restaurant O, run by chefs Martin Meikas and Ronni Pauks. The two talented chefs champion local Estonian ingredients, and during a trip here you’ll try one of a kind dishes created from elk, black garlic and goats’ cheese.

Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki is a historic city just entering the food radars of travellers around the globe with its emphasis on fresh ingredients and creative cooking style. Stop off at Julvi to enjoy a selection of small plates composed from locally grown and caught ingredients. Bestsellers here include herring with egg and burbot with rye. Their dessert offerings include the ingenious black salsify with sea buckthorn and white chocolate, skilfully merging savoury and sweet flavours. For another sweet treat, head to one of Helsinki’s historic markets, like Hakaniemen Kauppahalli, to seek out delicious traditional pastries, like cinnamon buns and sugar donuts.

Cardiff, Wales

Welsh capital Cardiff makes use of the exquisite local produce from the countryside around in its foodie scene. If you’re a cheese-lover, you can’t miss stopping off at Madame Fromage, a renowned deli and champion of local cheese with a store in pretty Castle Arcade - close to the centre of the city. You’ll find over 150 different varieties of cheese on display, and there’s even an onsite restaurant where you can enjoy lovingly created cheese plates and pair it with some great wine. For fine dining, book an evening table at Michelin-starred Restaurant James Sommerin, where local goodies are transformed into beautiful dishes - the chef uses ingredients caught, grown or gathered in the local area - like wild sea bass, langoustines, sage and artichoke.

There’s no better way to travel than to take time to shop for souvenirs, and what better to buy than vintage clothing? With each city you visit you’ll find a different selection of items on sale, each indicative of the country’s unique history, culture and fashion trends. From Stockholm to Barcelona, wander along the historic streets and stop off to shop till you drop.

Stockholm

Trust the stylish Swedes to have one of Europe’s most eclectic collections of vintage and second-hand clothing. In capital city Stockholm, take to the trendy streets of the Södermalm neighbourhood, and stop off at Lisa Larsson Second Hand to hunt for secret gems from iconic designers like Pierre Cardin. Male vintage fans are also in for a treat - head over to Herr Judit for memorable second-hand style - while the prices are fairly high for the items on sale here, you can be certain that everything is one of a kind, and that you’ll be able to pick out wardrobe basics like perfectly preserved denim shirts and leather jackets. The curation here is fantastic and there’s a noticeable emphasis on high quality garments.

Berlin

Hip and historic Berlin is filled with a bustling array of second-hand shops chock-a-block with rare and highly wearable pieces. If you’re into high end fashion, stop off at Das Neue Schwarz, where vintage items by avant garde designers like Martin Margiela and Raf Simons are available to be picked up. If you prefer your vintage with a touch of frivolity, then duck into Garments, filled with chic, colourful pieces which are lovingly hand-picked. After you’ve finished shopping, be sure to visit the flower-filled garden in their backyard - the perfect backdrop to the cheerful garments on sale.

Paris

Paris’ reputation as a second-hand shopping capital definitely precedes it, and you won’t be disappointed during a shopping trip here. Wander around the historic streets and make sure you stop off at treasure trove La Petite Fripe, where the bright red shopfront leads you fittingly to the piles of quirky vintage on sale. You’ll find sunglasses, Hawaiian shirts and retro telephones in every colour under the sun. For those looking to rent vintage pieces and twee garments from the 30s and 60s, make sure you visit Marnie while you’re in atmospheric neighbourhood La Pigalle. The stand out selling point of this store can be found below ground; they have an entire basement totally devoted to vintage shoes.

Antwerp

A hidden gem in the European vintage scene is quaint Belgian city Antwerp. It’s one of the best destinations for shoppers looking for a second-hand bargain, and you’ll be sure to find one at Jutha and Risha, one of the city’s most iconic vintage stores. You’ll find a wide selection of vintage clothing as well as customized pieces and new garments from young Belgian designers. For super cheap vintage with plenty of hidden treasures that you can get ready to rummage through, visit Think Twice, which has regular sales of their preloved goods - if you’re lucky, you may find fantastic pieces for only one euro each.

Krakow

Beautiful and still underrated Polish city Krakow is also the home of some vintage shopping gems. Stop off at Vintage Classics, where you can find a hip line-up of clothes from every decade from the 30s to the 80s. If you’re after a truly quirky souvenir, make a purchase from their series The Great Pretenders, a great name for their quirky idea of reproducing classic vintage designs anew. You’ll find a lovingly made selection of dresses and accessories that look totally vintage (inspiration is taken from the 40s and 60s,) are crafted from antique fabrics, but are brand new, fit like a glove and will last you for years.

Barcelona

This picturesque southern Spanish city has a beguiling array of vintage and second-hand shops. Make your first stop in Barcelona at Tarquesh for an amazing array of retro sunglasses and silk scarves. What makes this vintage store extra special is that products here change seasonally - so if you pop in during December, you’ll find cosy retro knitwear, and a visit in the summer months will give you plenty of straw hats and vintage tea dresses.
