Venice, Italy. Image taken by Hope Smith.

Something that most people don't know about Venice unless they are travel seekers is that Venice is a city which has no roads, only canals. It's a city built on water, many islands, in the Adriatic Sea. It's a place that many people travel from around the world to see because there are rumors that it will not be accessible in the next 30 years as it's been a fight to keep it afloat since 1973. With one of the world's narrowest streets, it is still a destination that people dream of exploring. Although gondolas are popular and a tourist attraction, many of them and those who steer are lessening each year. (Local)

Paris is the capital city of the French Republic. Located in the Île-de-France region in the northern portion of France, Paris has been the center of French culture and government for many centuries and has been the epicenter of its many revolutions.

Milcote, spelled as Millcote in Jane Eyre, is a village in Warwickshire, England. Prior to 1894, Milcote was included in the Weston-upon Avon civil parish; Milcote became its own civil parish--or county, as is equivalent in America--with a small population of about 50 people with its borders reaching 2 miles in length and a little over 600 acres of land. It runs along the rivers Avon and Stour, just south of their junction. It saw a boom during the mid-1800s when the railway ran through and created a small bustle from the industry. The railway is no longer operating and its old rail lines, from the Great Western Railway, have since been repurposed as a greenway for recreational use. This account varies from the Millcote portrayed in the novel, in which it seems lively and bustling as a town; this is an interesting contrast that separates the fictional from the real.
