My Vabali spa review: I loved it! Here’s an extremely detailed trip report. Every traveler has their thing: I have an ex-boyfriend who loved aquariums so much that the first time I visited one without him, on a press trip to Curacao, I literally cried as a visibly dismayed representative....

Not everyone will want to make the trip out to Provins to visit APG Réliure, a bookbinding store in a famous medieval town selling myriad bookbinding supplies, hand-marbled papers, and their specialty, “blocs papiers” — preprinted and blank text blocks.
