London-raised, Franco-American writer and creator Vanessa Grall (aka Nessy), signs off her emails as the founder/ janitor of Messy Nessy Chic. The personal blog turned cult online wunderkammer is an editorial vault of inspirational content and travel secrets, described by Condé Nast Traveler as a trawl of fascinating places and people, past and present . Her media brand has built a significant social media presence of well over a million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok, and averaging 1.5 million monthly views on MessyNessyChic.com. For Nessy, tourists are not the enemy but rather, she strongly believes that we re all capable of becoming accidental roaming detectives; seekers of stories and collectors of local secrets. On a mission to reprogram the way we travel, in 2017 she wrote her first book Don t be a Tourist in Paris which became an instant best-seller, followed by the matched success of Don t be a Tourist in New York. For the third instalment of the best-selling Don t be a Tourist series, the author takes us to her hometown of London. Nessy has an eye for the iconic, the intriguing, the off-beat and beguiling. Whether it's your first time in London, your second home, or you are yourself a Londoner, this book changes the rules.

Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the extraordinary people and events that coloured Paris
The wealth of facts and erudition bring magic to Dirk Velghe s Paris. A place where even tragedy seems less sombre. Anyone who does not already love Paris will fall for it after reading this book. Ich bin ein Pariser , as Kennedy might have said. Herman Van Rompuy, former president of the European Council
In this book, reality always trumps fiction, truth always trumps myth. Get ready for a personal encounter with police inspectors and filles à la cuisse légère, Impressionists and art thieves, collaborators and résistants, Cubists and anarchists, artists models and terrorists, criminals and executioners. In fascinating and often unknown stories, such as The Chanel-Wertheimer Case , Lenin s Yellow Jersey and Selling the Eiffel Tower , hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the façades, in the passages, and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light. In Paris Souls, readers taste the idiosyncratic harvest of someone who, after many seasons in his favourite city, is still enraptured by its fruits. Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the extraordinary people and events that coloured Paris, sometimes with paint, sometimes with blood. Histories as only a true Parisian can tell them. Light-hearted but always deeply reasoned, Velghe gives an entirely new twist to the history of Paris. His no-nonsense prose and narrative flair guarantee compelling reading.
Dirk Velghe is former founder-CEO of Vacature and later of Mediafin, the publisher of Belgian newspapers De Tijd and L Echo, where he still chairs the board. He was a member of the DPG Media Group committee for more than 20 years, which is where he began his publishing career in 1987. In addition to his passion for the media, Dirk Velghe also nurtures one for Paris. The City of Light has kept him pleasantly awake for more than 30 years.

The Canary Islands are a hotspot for hikers, sunbathers, culture lovers and road trippers.

Each island gets its own chapter, complete with handy maps and infographics. Canary Islands is halfway between travel guide and photo book and immediately makes you dream of a holiday on one (or more) of the islands, near the most popular attractions or just off the beaten path .
Charles Van Haverbeke is the man who helped put Uber (Eats) on the Belgian map, now makes himself useful as VP Operations at the Brussels start-up Cowboy and the initiator of the Mare Nostrum Run.
