Wallpapers - May 2024
Welcome to May 2024!
If you're new here, welcome to our monthly wallpapers!
This month weā€™re tiptoeing through the tulips and all the glorious flowers appearing in spring across Europe! Blossoms abound, colours make the grey and dreary winter scenes a thing of the past, and receiving or giving a glorious bouquet of flowers, large or small, makes people happy!
Spring travel is well underway and we love helping you bring your groups to Europe so that they too can experience the colour, cultures and cuisines for themselves. Perhaps you have some personal travel plans to Europe this spring or summer? Wherever your travels take you this month, we do hope that you have fun exploring and can take time to smell the roses! Do let us know what exciting adventures await! We love hearing from you.

Wallpaper number 1 is of a sprig of Lily of the Valley. The tradition in France, Belgium and a number of other European nations is to give friends and loved ones a small bouquet of Lily of the Valley on 1st May (Labour Day). It is said to bring good luck and its delightful fragrance brings wonderful sentiments with it.
Wallpaper number 2 takes us to the incredible gardens of Keukenhof in The Netherlands. Over 7 million bulbs are planted each year and tulips of all varieties are on display here along with many other exquisite flowers. People travel from all over the world to experience this stunning display - it really is a feast for the senses!
Wallpaper number 3 takes us to the small town of Giverny, France where the impressionist painter, Claude Monet, lived and worked. Monetā€™s garden was inspirational indeed and has resulted in some of the most iconic artworks in history. A stroll through his incredible gardens and house full of paintings in the spring and summer make for a wonderful day out!
And, for your bonus wallpaper, here are some spring bouquets from Barcelona, Spain. Las Ramblas in the centre of the city is a hive of activity throughout the year. This 1.2 kilometre tree-lined street is a pedestrian thoroughfare with food, flowers, souvenirs, entertainment and more.
