Design - Slow Escapes

Conscious travel in harmony with nature and as part of a lively rural culture. The most beautiful accommodations and best examples of a new travel culture.
Traveling ennobles the mind and clears up prejudices, as Oscar Wilde already knew. In Slow Escapes, journalist Clara le Fort presents the most beautiful places for different, sustainable travel: converted monasteries and converted windmills, revived estates and other places whose appeal is now breathing new life into entire regions. This book shows how it can work to travel in style and in a more environmentally conscious way while meaningfully integrating rural communities and respecting and getting to know local traditions. Whether wine, olives, cheese or regional crafts, many things that were once the basis of life are not just folklore, but also create identity for entire regions and their people and are therefore the basis for a new form of respectful travel culture.
