Postcard from… Mackinac Island, Michigan
Christine Chitnis returns with her kids to Mackinac Island, the cinematically nostalgic Michigan summer escape she grew up visiting. She found the four-square-mile pretty unchanged, with no cars but lots of bikes and horse-drawn carriages, grand Victorian cottages and State Park hiking trails.

-
Postcard from… Corsica
A modernist beach house above Porto Vecchio, boat-hopping coves in every shade of blue (and across two countries), dinners of grilled sea bass, just-picked produce, and the best baguettes—nothing dressy, nothing overwrought.
