The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum offer a rare, up-close look at Ice Age fossils still being uncovered in the heart of Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of years ago, tar trapped mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and dire wolves, preserving their remains for modern paleontologists to study. Today, visitors can explore these discoveries in the museum, watch scientists at work in the Fossil Lab, and even see active excavation sites like Project 23, where new fossils are unearthed daily.

Probably the most photographed spot in Bordeaux—and for good reason. The 18th-century buildings around Place de la Bourse are part of the city’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, and they reflect perfectly in the shallow pool of the Miroir d’eau just across the road. It looks great early in the morning, but the reflections are just as striking in the evening when everything’s lit up. Kids run through the mist when it sprays every 15 minutes in summer, and photographers camp out for that symmetrical shot.
