  • La Maison Blanche Fez, Buzz

    By Margaret Kemp

    Call it Fez or Fes, it's a great place to visit and only 2 hours 15 minutes from Orly Sud, Paris. Fez is the cultural and spiritual centre of Morocco and goes back to at least 790AD. It's the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The largest of the two Medinas (walled cities within a city) is the world's largest car-free zone, but beware of the donkeys.
