How to fight off a cold with home methods

Image
There are a lot of cold symptoms such as running nose, sore throat or sneezing which are the first pangs of the flu. While coping with a cold it is important to intake a lot of vitamin C which we can absorb by eating citrus fruits, berries and broccoli! You should drink a lot while staying in bed. I recommend you to take a cup of hot tea with one slice of lemon and one tablespoon of honey. You can also try with eating garlic and chicken soup. Gargle your throat with a saltwater - it will ease your irritation. That's all for now. Take care of yourself before falling sick!

Wissant

There's one place in France where we can admire the British coast. The place is called Wissant. It's a seaside commune in the Pas-de-Calais department. For those who know the Second World War history, it will be the great way to combine business with pleasure. What's more, we can learn how to fish out in a traditional way and taste some local specialities. You can also swim in the North Sea. It's just great, isn't it?

March of the Giants in Douai (Fête de Gayant)

The history of the Giants dates back to 16th century. Every year in July the enormous parade passes through the streets of a medieval town of Douai. Thousands of tourists can admire 5 grand effigies carried by a specific number of their porters. The father, Monsieur Gayant, measure almost 28ft (8,5m) and weigh 370kg, his wife is a somewhat smaller and measure a little over 20ft (6,25m). The couple has three children: Binbin, Jacquot and Fillon. Whole family not only passes across the town but also dances all along the carnival.

Artists throwing the strips of paper into the public, singers walking on stilts and a carriage of Sun King (Louis XIV), it's just a small part of what you can see.
