From rugged Platja Cavalleria to soft sand and clear waters of Santo Tomás - stunning coastline and meadows of wild flowers. Unspoiled. Unesco Biosphere Reserve. #menorca

Old capital Ciutadella getting ready for the Festes de Sant Joan in mid June.

Famous for its cheeses and Menorquinas sandals - a traditional farmer's shoe given a glitzy makeover.

It's a Sí from me for the uncrowded, slower-paced Balearic sibling!

The perfect 'Le Weekend' at the fun and elegant @m The perfect 'Le Weekend' at the fun and elegant @montrachet.jazz festival 

Imagine a degustation of the world's finest wines, award- winning cuisine and foot-tapping jazz in a French town square overlooking the vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet - a real 'pinch me' moment. 

Wines were delicious - loved the reds from @JayneEyreWines and @clarisse_de_suremain 

Whites from our preferred 'table wines' (!) the Mersaults of @domainedemontille @domainefabiencoche 

And delicious gouts from @domainethomascollardot
@charlesboigelot @domaineericbordelet @lesaligoteurs @maisonchanzy 

Music from the fabulous @washboardboogiebang, who just kept on playing and kept us swaying, and classy @djangofestivalallstars with a bravura performance from Jack McClune Trio and rising piano star jmc0.90. @alineafanoukoe was a hoot and kept the energy up. 

Backdrop (and fragranced loos) from the @como.lemontrachet hotel under the gentle gaze of owners Christina and Melissa Ong.

@RodneyBirrell and I couldn't have done it without @marjorieleonidas and @anthonyrawlinson88 - who choose (and bring) joy everyday! 

Organised and run flawlessly by @hautes_cotes - merci Max. 

 À l'année prochaine!
