Sensommar i Helsingborg

🍁🍷 "People come here the way they'd come to their own living room. A boy who knocked on the bakery door at five, asking for cinnamon buns, had his graduation party here in June." says Anna Borgskog at Château Forêt Warm room, low light, three people running the whole thing. Château Forêt sits on Södra Storgatan, and the menu is short and changes with what's available: European cooking that starts with Skåne's own growers and farmers. Vegetables carry the plates, and when there's meat, the whole animal gets used. Dinner Tuesday to Friday, plus Saturdays that turn into something of their own: asparagus dinners, national day lunch, Oktoberfest. What began as a sourdough bakery and café in 2008, opened by three brothers. In 2013 they kept the lights on into the evening, and it became a restaurant. Look up while you eat! The walls hold 1930s murals by Helsingborg artist Hugo Gehlin, painted when this was one of the city's Helma beer halls, opened in 1930. "Merchants of every kind find great pleasure here." They're being restored right now with help from a crowdfunding. With the continent this close, people do travel for a table here – most of all in spring and autumn. 🍁🍷 📍 Södra Storgatan 19, Helsingborg @chateauforet

🏃🏃🏾‍♀️Some call it Sweden's most beautiful run. We call it the scenic route. 🌳🌊✨ Tomorrow the city becomes the course when Helsingborg Marathon is back and the whole of Helsingborg gets a front-row seat! Marathon, half marathon, relay and Kids Run all set off from Sundstorget outside Dunkers, wind through the old town and past Kärnan, out through Tågaborg, Pålsjö skog and Laröd and come home along the Seaside Promenade to one of the most beautiful finishes in Sweden. 🎉 And the best part? You don't need to be a runner to join the party! 🎉 Grab a sign, bring your cheer squad, and help carry those runners around the course – see the full route and start times at helsingborgmarathon.se And if you're driving on Saturday – plan ahead. Parts of the city are closed to traffic during the race, so check the course before you set off. 💚 Photogrpaher: Jonas Persson @helsingborgmarathon @helsingborghalfmarathon #marathon #halfmarathon #runners #visithelsingborg
