The G7 restaurant in Sittard (in the south of the Netherlands), located in the Gruizenkerkje (church) from 1634, has a new interior. With a mix of old church elements, modern comforts and international allure, is the interior unique for Sittard and matches the cooking level and ambitions of the owners Danny Meijers and Rik Opstals better.

Great idea to eat out in a church during the festive month of December, otherwise I’m sure too but the ambiance in the church is probably magical now. There are many more little churches where you can eat, like for example: Noor in Groningen, Bunk Amsterdam and Utrecht (you can also stay overnight here) and, for example, De Kleine Toren in Baarland and many more. lees verder

We love the tradition of Claridge’s, London’s legendary Mayfair hotel, to have their Christmas Tree decorated by a, as they call it, long-time friend of the hotel. We have articles on many of their Christmas Trees decorated by famous designer friends, like for example Christian Louboutin in 2019 and Karl Lagerfeld back in 2017. This year it’s Louis Vuitton and we love their Art of Travel theme!

The Claridge’s Christmas Tree 2023 by Louis Vuitton brings together two illustrious names who have long celebrated the Art of Travel and crossed paths throughout their respective histories after both being founded in 1854.
