Giant Omelette Festival - Bessier, France


Cooking the "Friendship Omelet" is a long-standing tradition that dates back to the time of Napoleon Bonaparte. By the way, 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the first official event.

According to legend, when Napoleon was traveling with his army in the south of France, they decided to spend the night near the city of Bessier. In the evening, Napoleon was treated to an omelet from a local chef and was so impressed with its taste that in the morning he ordered the townspeople to collect all the eggs and cook a huge omelet for his army.

Since then, cooking an omelet for the needy at Easter has become a tradition, and the omelet itself has become a symbol of brotherhood and friendship known as Confrerie.


So every year, chefs from many cities come to France to cook a huge omelet from several thousand eggs and receive a special title of chevalier. The event takes place on Concorde Street. The finished omelet is given away for free to all visitors.


Check out the upcoming dates of the festival on the official Giant Omelette website.

Sedlec Church - Sedlec (near Prague), Czech Republic


This unique monastery (or as it is also called - the church of bones) of the XIII century is worth visiting for the most desperate tourists, because its peculiarity is that the church is decorated with more than 40 thousand human bones. The bones were used to create arches, ceilings, and even a chandelier.

More than 10,000 Hussite soldiers were once buried at this site, and their bones were used to decorate the chapel. In addition, in 2014, during the repair and restoration of the site, workers found another 1,200 skeletons in 34 unmarked graves. 


So, only the desperate will be able to make such a trip, but the place is truly unique and stunning. You will definitely not remain indifferent after visiting the Sedlec Ossuary, as this place fascinates everyone who decides to learn more about its history and significance. By the way, the Sedlec Church is one of the most visited places, because it is a real cultural symbol for the people, and the bones in it mark many historical moments for the country.


Starkenberger Beer Pools - Starkenberg, Austria


This is an ideal place for those who love beer, because here you can literally plunge into it. The Starkenberger Beer Pools is a castle with seven 13-foot-long pools of warm beer containing approximately 42 thousand pints of beer. In addition, you can not only swim in beer, but also learn more about the history of this drink and get to know the culture of drinking it.




It's also important to note that beer is rich in vitamins and calcium, so an intoxicating foam party will also be a beneficial treatment for your skin.


We remind you that planning a trip will not only save you money on your trip, but also help you avoid unforeseen situations. Read more about how to organize a trip properly and what details to pay attention to so that your vacation goes exactly as planned in our previous article.
