Prehistoric cave art in the Dordogne | Travel. At some point in remote prehistory, roughly 12,000 years ago, a group of men and women – no more than half a dozen, scientists believe – crawled into the labyrinth of Rouffignac cavern in the Dordogne's Vézère valley. Once in its deepest recess, they lay on their backs and, in flickering candlelight, started painting on the rock ceiling 3ft above them. More than 60 images of mammoths, horses and ibex were outlined, each animal depicted in simple, confident lines that reveal startling artistic talent. This is the Great Ceiling of Rouffignac, one of the world's oldest and most beautiful art galleries.

We have few clues as to who created it, though it was probably the work of the Cro-Magnons, the first members of Homo sapiens to settle in Europe 45,000 years ago and survivors of the Ice Age that later gripped the continent. Nor do we know why these artists picked such an inaccessible spot to display their genius – though fortunately it can be reached easily today. Essentials. Western Europe France Bergerac airport - Lascaux (cheapest way) 48 Hours In: Bruges - 48 Hours In - Travel.

Why go now? This picturesque city of chocolates, cobbles and carillon chimes is poetic at any time of year, but Bruges still has a wintry air of romance, with veils of mist and lights twinkling from cosy cafés – so visit right now for bracing walks and fireside ambience. Spring will soon unfurl, with all the attendant attractions of spring flowers and greenery. Should you need an event to focus on, the Cinema Novo Festival takes place from 12-22 March, showing films from Asia, Africa and Latin America (cinemanovo.be).

Alternatively, fly to Brussels and complete the journey by rail, changing at Brussels Nord station (the return rail ticket costs €25.80).

Book a table… Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense | Duke of York’s Theatre. Time Out says Posted: Fri Apr 25 2014 James Lance and John Gordon Sinclair will take over as the final Jeeves and Wooster from June 30 It’s rare that a West End show’s second cast is as good as its first. But for fans of cult noughties Britcoms, something special is going on at the Duke of York's Theatre, as Robert Webb (Jez from ‘Peep Show’) and Mark Heap (Brian from ‘Spaced’) take over the beloved title roles in this giddily daft play-within-a-play adaptation of PJ Wodehouse’s ‘The Code of the Woosters’. All three parts – Mark Hadfield is retained from the first cast – are demanding. But the show, presented as Bertie Wooster’s own amateurish re-enactment of a recent adventure, stands or falls on the actor playing the cheery toff. At first glance Webb is strange casting: ‘Peep Show’s Jeremy was embittered, mercenary and cynical.

Heap has made a career out of drollness, and archetypal deadpan butler Jeeves is almost too easy a fit. Plus, immense credit to Hadfield, the show’s backbone.

Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, Kuala Lumpur offers some of the most impressive spa locations in all of Malaysia.

From intensive day spas in the heart of the city to wellness resorts on the outskirts of the urban jungle, the range of spa properties within Malaysia's capital is impressively diverse. Some emphasise Eastern rituals such as Malay massage, while many others prefer an East-meets-West approach, combining traditional philosophies with the best in cutting edge treatments and techniques from across the pond. Properties such as The Chateau Spa and Organic Wellness Resort have gained international acclaim for their holistic approach to wellbeing, offering programmes focused on weight loss, stress levels and fitness. The Chateau, nestled within the Berjaya Hills, also offers standard spa and beauty treatments.

Luxury Day Spa recommendation in KL - Kuala Lumpur Forum. Dennis Severs' House - 18 Folgate Street. Gilbert white house Hants. Few realise as they travel on the busy B3006 through the pretty village of Selborne, that behind the imposing frontage of Gilbert White’s House, ‘The Wakes’, lies beauty, tranquillity and history in 30 acres of ancient parkland and carefully restored gardens. A seasonal window on the garden: Visitors marvel at the quirky features, glorious vistas and creative planting which are delightful whatever the season or weather. Gilbert White was an experimental, keen and enthusiastic gardener and elements he designed include the wine-pipe seat, the cut-out statue of Hercules and two hahas plus the herb garden, kitchen garden and ‘six quarters’. 18th century planting ensures that the garden has much to offer the true plantsman but it can be equally enjoyed for its tranquility, simple charm and beauty.

Head Gardener David Standing began work here in 1979 and imediately embarked on an ambitious project to uncover the original layout of the garden and recreate it.

A Bassac cruise on the Mekong delta Visitors to Ho Chi Minh City can choose from a wide range of boat trips into the Mekong delta, but one of the first to take tourists beyond the towns and well-known Cai Be floating market to smaller farms and settlements is Bassac, run by a French former oil exec and his Vietnamese wife.

The market town of Can Tho was all noise and shouts and busy people, but once the refurbished rice barge with its cosy en suite cabins cast off from a town pier, all was peaceful. My thoughts turned to Willie Wonka's factory as we cruised along a chocolate-coloured channel. Disembarking on a small, equally Dairy Milk canal in rural Hao Thanh district, we took a short walk with guide Lan along raised paths to the house of a Mrs Cam. Tourists are still rare enough in these parts for our small group to draw excited "hellos" from groups of children even 100m away across the water.

Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត) was first a Hindu, then subsequently a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world.

The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.

It has become a symbol of Cambodia,[1] appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. History[edit] Angkor Wat lies 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) north of the modern town of Siem Reap, and a short distance south and slightly east of the previous capital, which was centred at Baphuon.

Suitcases and Sanctuary Suitcases and Sanctuary is a site specific exhibition exploring the history of the waves of immigration that shaped Spitalfields, seen through the eyes of today's children. It is the story of one area, the story of London, and the story of the making of multicultural Britain.

We created the exhibition in collaboration with nine and ten year old children, from six local schools, who worked with actors, poets and artists to discover and celebrate the richness of our shared past. A rare opportunity to see inside this unique immigrant site, not at present normally open to the public. This magical Grade II* listed building, a Huguenot silk merchant's home and hidden Victorian synagogue, captures the imagination of all who cross its dusty threshold. 'hauntingly beautiful exhibition' The Times 'what you get is creativity that's fresh and loaded with honest meaning' Sleazenation 'a genuinely innovative celebration of immigration' Asian Voice.
