11 photos of Lara d’OD’s trip to Portugal

Lara, a former contestant on Occupation Double, flew to Portugal for a trip filled with sunshine, laughter and discovery, in the company of her sister and mother. Together, they explored the country, from the cobbled streets of Lisbon to the lush green valleys of the Douro, in a warm and gentle atmosphere. These 11 shots reveal a perfect blend of relaxation, family complicity and wonder - an emotionally-charged travel diary, where every image exudes beauty, warmth and the Portuguese art of living.

Here, Lara sits on a low wall contemplating the city of Porto at dusk. She's wearing a light-colored sweater and sunglasses, the wind gently blowing through her hair. Her discreet smile conveys the serenity and satisfaction of a simple moment, set against the beauty of the cityscape.

A spectacular view of Porto at sunset. The Douro River reflects the warm tones of the sky, and the boats glide peacefully on the water. You can see the red roofs, the hills of the city and the cable car crossing the scene. The atmosphere is golden, romantic and typically Portuguese - a suspended moment.

The interior of a traditional cellar is revealed, with imposing wooden barrels lined up in a row. Natural light streams through a window, creating a play of shadows on the floor. The atmosphere is calm and authentic - we can imagine the aromas of aged wine permeating the air. An image that evokes craftsmanship and the passage of time.

Lara exudes happiness, dressed in a white dress and matching scarf, raising her glass of wine before an impressive panorama of vineyards and green hills. She exudes freedom, enjoying the sunshine and picturesque scenery. The image is vibrant, both luminous and full of positive energy.

A splendid landscape opens up over the terraced hills of the Douro, in northern Portugal. The river flows peacefully between slopes covered with vineyards and olive groves. The slightly hazy sky provides a soft light, highlighting the rich relief and natural beauty of this emblematic region.

The three smiling women enjoy a convivial moment, glass of port in hand. They stand side by side, bathed in golden light. The scene exudes joy and mother-daughter complicity, in a foliage-covered outdoor setting.

Here, we see a magnificent wooden barrel used as a table, on which rest several glasses of port in different shades - from golden to deep ruby. The sun illuminates the scene, revealing the reflections of the wines and the "Fonseca" inscriptions engraved on the wood. The atmosphere is warm, evoking an authentic tasting in a Portuguese cellar.

The streetcar tracks trace a perfect line down the center of the scene, symbolizing Lisbon and its old-world charm. The atmosphere is calm, almost melancholy, bathed in the soft light that ends the day.

Behind a pastry case, a row of shiny golden pastéis de nata catches the light. Their caramelized crust and lightly burnt cream evoke the typical Portuguese delicacy. It's a picture that smells of hot coffee, busy streets and the pleasure of tasting a still-warm local specialty.
