Designed for children up to 12 years old, this museum feels like a giant playground with exhibits focused on everything from science and art to engineering and culture. Kids can explore, create, and learn through fun experiences like building their own inventions, navigating a kid-sized city, or getting messy in the art studio.

This is Porto Santo’s most popular walk, though it rarely feels crowded, especially if you go first thing in the morning. The well-marked PR1 trail is around 5 km return and threads through the island’s northeastern hills, crossing a protected Natura 2000 area where you can spot native plants, wildflowers, and seabirds. The route is moderately challenging, with some steady climbs, but nothing too demanding for anyone used to hill walking. The reward comes at the viewpoints. Terra Chã looks out over rugged cliffs and deep blue water, while Pico Branco, the island’s second-highest point, offers wide 360-degree views across Porto Santo and the Atlantic beyond. The whole hike typically takes under three hours at an easy, unhurried pace, and at the top, you'll find a few picnic areas if you want to recharge before heading back.

In Toulon’s Old Town, there’s a statue of men playing cards—La Partie de Cartes. It’s a nod to Provence’s folklore and Marcel Pagnol’s classic plays, Marius and Fanny, which later became films. If you know them, you’ll recognise the scene—card games, banter, and all. Even if you don’t, it’s a fun spot for a photo.
