il y a une éternité que jai réservé mon voyage, premièrement jai commencer mon décompte à 213jours du jour J ..mon voyage en italie en septembre 2012
maintenant le décompte est de 82 jours !!
cependant !!
jai recu un avis du palais de justice il y a 1 mois..je dois comparaitre au palais de justice pour etre juré..il ont convoqué genre 500 personnes par boite postale dans la région de montréal pour un procès au criminel.. je sais pas trop ..
JE NE VEUX PAS ETRE JURÉ !! jai mon voyage en septembre en italie durant 3 semaine !! ca ma couté 6000$ !!!!!!!!!!!
ya t'il des gens qui ont réussi à ne pas etre sélectionné comme jury et etre exempté à cause d'une planification d'un voyage !!
salut,
je tiens à te rassurer tout de suite, ma blonde était dans le même cas que toi. Elle était convoquée la semaine dernière au Palais de Justice et nous avons prévu, de longue date, un voyage aux Iles de la Madeleine cet été. Elle a fait une copie du contrat de voyage (nous partons en bateau avec CTMA) et l'a présenté au juge à titre d'exemption. Cette exemption a été acceptée par contre il lui ont dit qu'elle serait reconvoquée pour début Janvier. Selon toute vraisemblance deux procès sont à venir, l'un en Septembre et l'autre en Janvier! L'employeur de ma blonde a fait une lettre disant qu'elle était sur un projet très important pour la Cie et que donc il fallait qu'elle reste à son poste au moins jusque fin Octobre. Maintenant je ne sais pas lequel des deux points (lettre+copie contrat voyage) a fait pencher la balance mais à priori pas de procès avant Septembre donc probablement que tu seras reconvoquée en Janvier!!
"Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer" (Baudelaire)
Si le shérif ne vous accorde pas l’exemption demandée, vous pourrez faire valoir vos motifs devant le juge le jour de votre comparution à la sélection des jurés, au palais de justice.
C'est la loa!
Ne vous reste plus qu'à bien profiter de cette nouvelle et enrichissante expérience de vie! 😛
Le voyage en Italie n'est quand même pas encore à l'eau puisqu'il y a aussi des chances que vous ne soyez pas retenue.
Autrement (si vous gagnez le gros lot au palais de justice) l'assurance annulation de voyage remboursera les frais du voyage qui devait avoir lieu.
salut,
Effectivement ils recherchent 24 jurés mais ont convoqués pas loin de 20000 personnes. J'ai aussi lu que c'était pour deux procès impliquant les Hells Angels mais de toutes façons on va en entendre parler via les médias (et pas via les jurés puisqu'ils n'ont pas le droit d'en parler!!). Pour ce qui te concerne c'est certain que si ton patron peut te faire une lettre ça ne peut qu'aider!! En tout cas j'imagine qu'il est au courant!! A mon avis ton voyage en Italie ne devrait pas être annulé.
Bon avant qu'on me dise que j'écris n'importe quoi voici ma source : http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2012/05/14/20-425-appeles-24-elus

Je crois qu'à ce temps - ci de l'année la justice ne fait qu'une banque de candidats juré pour la session d'automne . Je ne suis pas surpris qu'il refuse de te t'exempter, le processus étant à ses débuts. Tu auras probablement l'occasion de faire valoir ton point de vue sur place lors de cette journée. Mais ce n'est pas certain.
D'ici ce temps - là, informes toi sérieusement comment faire pour t'en sauver
Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.
Je te le souhaite. Me souvient de t'avoir lu dans un autre forum a propos d'un futur voyage en Italie et ce serais vraiment injuste que ça tombe sur toi après toutes ces démarches.
Il doit y avoir des trucs , des recettes pour te faire éliminer ? Google ; how to ... 😉
Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.
Pas compliqué: tu dis que ton idée est faite sur la cause et que tu es partiale...alors là, exemption!
A ce stade-ci de sélection , ce n'est pas certains que la ( les) cause soit identifiée. Ils cherche peut-être a avoir un échantillon représentatif de la population en éliminant ceux qui ont de vraies bonnes excusent tout simplement.
Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.
je suis arrivé là à 8h15 il y avait déjà quelques personne j'étais en avance car je devis y être pour 9h, c'est très grand le palais de justice à Montréal je me suis donc perdue un peu en cherchant le local ou je devais me rendre
il y avais des gens de tout age même dans la soixantaine..et des personne handicapé, et des gens BS, des gens à moitié sourd..
c'était très solennel, genre le magistrat avec le juge et des avocat. il nous ont expliqué sans trop nous expliqué pourquoi nous étions là..il non pas mentionné les causes mais dans les journaux ils mentionnent les hells angel et la mafia.
il nous ont pas expliqué les causes, juste nous dire que c'est pour 2 procès. donc 24 personnes constituant l'un ou l'autre des jury
procès d'une durée de 12 à 18 mois %?&*!
sé bennnnnnnn long !! il nous ont expliqué les paiement 104$ par jour + 3 repas payé / jours pour les 3 premier mois et ensuite 160$ /jours avec 3 repas payé ..mais bien sur avant impôt !!😠
là il ont dit que les gens qui ne se sont pas présenter vont avoir un outrage à magistrat et qu'il vont devoir payé une amende... 🏴☠️
par la suite il nous ont dit que ceux qui n'ont pas d'exemption pouvais quitter et qu'ils seraient recontactés pour la sélection du jury prochainement.ceux qui avais une raison d’exception de se mettre en ligne afin de comparaitre devant le juge afin de dire quelle étais la raison du refus de comparaitre.
donc devant le micro de la salle d'audience nous devions mentionné le numéro inscrit sur notre feuille et il nous séparait par groupe de 15..
par la suite nous devions attendre avant d’être appeler, et la nous devions suivre un commissaire. qui nous emmenais à une autre salle d'audience. nous faisions la file. j'avais en ma possession ma facture de mon voyage et les document de mon exemption que javais jadis envoyé par la poste et qui avais été refusé
Le commissaire nous informe qu'à l'intérieur il y a le juge et 2 ou 3 avocats et que le tout est filmé.. 🤪
donc rendu devant la pièce un agent de sécurité prend ma feuille avec mon numéro et referme la porte par la suite il m'invite à entrer et me diriger à la barre. je devais dire dans le micro la raison de mon exemption
ca été très rapide je lui ai dit que j'avais un voyage de planifier en septembre durant 3 semaine ..et il ma dit ok je vous exempte pour le premier procès..il ne m'a même pas demander ma facture...
et ensuite il a dit : avez vous une raison pour le second procès ..j'ai répondu non aucune raison...
il ma donc dit que je pourrais être recontacter pour le second procès..
mais j'aimerais bien être juré pour le procès de Rocco magnota le démembreur de Montréal !!😐
fiouuuuuuuuu Mais bon l'important c'est que mon voyage est pas annulé😎😛🙂😉
Bon Voyage en Italie!!
Par contre tu risques fort d'être de nouveau appelée en Janvier prochain pour sélection des jurés (Procès des Hells -chapitre de Québec). Le procès va certainement se dérouler au Centre Judiciaire Gouin.
Ma blonde doit aussi retourner en Janvier car pour cet automne elle a été exemptée!!
Profite bien de l'Italie 😎
"Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer" (Baudelaire)
oui j'aimerais tout de même etre membre d'un juré, mais je voulais pas que ca nuise à mon voyage. j'ai vue ça dans les film et c'est une expérience qui a l'air quand même intéressante. comment fonctionne le système judiciaire..cependant une cause de 12 à 18 mois ca ne m'intéresse pas du tout..3 -4 mois ok !!
pour le procès du démembreur en fait c'est que j'aimerais vraiment qui soit jugé coupable..je m'arrangerais pour quil ne s'en sorte pas..comme les autre là qui on eu une sentence allégé car évaluer mentalement dépressif ..(Dr guy turcotte..)c'est n'importe quoi
c'est digne d'un film d'horreur cette cause, je n'ai pas regarder la vidéo mais le procès m'intéresserais.
pour le procès du démembreur en fait c'est que j'aimerais vraiment qui soit jugé coupable..je m'arrangerais pour quil ne s'en sorte pas.
Sauf que ça ne fonctionne pas comme ça. Le travail de membre de jury c'est d'examiner et analyser la preuve, en toute impartialité. Pas de "t'arranger".
Pour le procès Turcotte, le jury a eu accès à la preuve (qui ne peut être dévoilée au public avant 5 ans si je ne me trompe pas) alors tu ne peux pas dire que c'était n'importe quoi, surtout que ça a dû être assez éprouvant comme boulot.😉

Si jamais tu es choisis pour ce procès tu auras probablement et même sûrement droit aux images d'horreur......Moi non plus je n'ai pas été voir le vidéo et tu me paierais cher pour le regarder , plus cher qu'un jury ça c'est certain.
Ce gars a des chances de s'en sortir à moins d'avoir un avocat pourri . Faut admettre qu'il est fou pour avoir fait ça et tout le reste qu'on lit dans les journaux a propos de ses élucubrations sur internet.
Donc pas coupable , vas rejoindre Guy Turcotte .....
Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.
Probablement les gens qui veulent " s'arranger " ça fait durer indéfiniment les délibérations et conduis à un avortement de procès car les jurys n'arrivent pas a s'entendre . Mais ça on le sauras jamais , les jurys ne peuvent pas le raconter après.
Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.
mais bon chacun son opinion..d'ailleurs plusieurs personne au palais de justice aimerais faire partie du jury pour Mr magnotta..je ne suis donc pas la seule que la cause sordide intéresse !!
🤪
j'ai des amie policière qui elle ont vue le vidéo dans le cadre de leur boulot et aurais aimé avoir la chance d'être dans le jury..
mais bon ce que j'en pense et ce que le monde pense sé pas vraiment important
l'important c'est que je part en voyage !! on verra le reste en janvier si il me rapelle
mais comme jai dit je serais pas impartiale jai déjà une opinion bien forgé alors il ne me prendrons pas 😎
Regarding the amount of tobacco you can buy during a trip in the European Union and bring back to France, we can't really talk about a "duty-free allowance," because the rules around how much tobacco you can bring back to France aren't straightforward at all under French law.
Hello everyone! 🙂🙂,
A BIG thank you to all the travelers who sent us postcards this year—my students are becoming real geography whizzes!!!!!!!! I’m renewing my call for your kindness this year! We’re also working on food, so if your postcards can make our mouths water with local dishes, traditional meals, or typical recipes, that’d be amazing!!
Here’s a quick recap of the project:
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globetrotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse, working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m starting a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of the journal will focus on opening up to the world, diversity, travel, countries, culture...
I’m launching a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a little postcard (from France or anywhere in the world!) to take us on a journey and help us discover new places, countries, and horizons—much more fun and exciting than a regular geography textbook! One section of our journal could be called "We received mail from " and would be an opportunity to research that location and share what we learn with our readers (a super enriching activity in class).
The project starts in September 2025 but has no real end date, as this journal and world discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in my ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! (The kids will find them when they return.)
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow traveler friends. Make us dream, take us on a journey!!!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!!
Thank you in advance for your participation(s)! Below is our address. Feel free to leave your own address on a corner of the postcard if you’d like us to write back! 😊

Many of us have noticed that bugs have been making it difficult to navigate the forum lately.
I’ll let Kate and Ticapi explain the issue:
I went to your profile to check out the Thailand travel journal, and when I clicked on it, it brought me back here again. All week, I’ve been dealing with bugs like this—it’s really discouraging from continuing on VF.🙁
I had the same thing happen, and multiple times. For me, it was Montagnard’s latest journal that kept coming up no matter which discussion I clicked on.
BOLIVIA: THE COUNTRY ON THE BRINK (What's Really Happening)
A dramatic saga is unfolding before our eyes in the Andes. Between suffocating blockades, clashes, an international airlift, and historic political decisions, Bolivia has just experienced 48 hours of rare intensity.
Here’s the full breakdown (economic, social, and political) of the last 48 hours:
For travelers and tourists: the article also includes an important note about the upcoming publication (starting tomorrow) of the precise status of roadblocks, route by route.
I’ll post the full update here on Voyage Forum!
Don’t miss this in-depth analysis. History is being written before our eyes! https://www.petitherge.com/bolivie-paralysie-et-ultimatum
I just discovered a great show on Arte.
It's called "7 en route": seven young European journalists travel around Europe in a fully converted bus, making reports on every city they visit. It's amazing! 🙂
Yesterday, for example, they were in Rome, Italy, and the reports included things like the world's smallest restaurant—a super romantic spot for two. There was also a report on the king of paparazzi in Italy.
They have to pick topics that let us discover the little quirks of each country. And at the end of each episode, we get to see the finished report.
It's such a great show, mixing journalism, travel, and discovery—basically, a must-watch!
It airs in the evening starting at 6:50 PM (I think), and it started this past Monday, July 14th.
If you watch it, let me know—we can chat about it!
I left my heart’s country eight days ago and returned to my adopted one—or was it the other way around? Scotland-Morvan, Morvan-Scotland, I’m not quite sure anymore.
After a quarter without dragging my slippers around here, even though I’d loudly declared I had no interest left in this site, here I am again!
My imagination never stays fallow for long. Just enough time for my inner land to rest. It gets overgrown with fresh nettles, the kind you can pick without getting stung. Then, it’s time to till the fragrant earth and let the story grow.
I hesitated over where to set this story.
Maybe the Highlands, maybe the Hebrides, maybe the Orkney Islands, maybe the Shetland Islands. All of Scotland is myth—easy to embroider.
But in the end, no. I’d almost be too afraid to bare my soul.
The story will take place at home. Simple, practical.
1)
This morning, I was up well before dawn, feeling a bit grumpy, but nothing a bowl of coffee won’t fix. I love my bowl, and no one dares take it. It’s porcelain, edged with intertwined blue flowers. On the bottom, it says "Revol." The factory has existed long before the Revolution. It was my great-grandmother’s bowl. She drank roasted barley from it during the war, then her Leroux chicory.
Last year, a little guy dropped it. My bowl broke into three pieces. A black anger vibrated deep inside me. The little boy was so upset, on the verge of tears. How could I scold him!
I picked up the three pieces and took Little Boy in my arms. His hair smelled of the light, sweet sweat of toddlers. A gentle hug that healed—his budding sorrow and my anger—everything vanished, and time carried on.
Today, my bowl is even prettier. Man fixed it using the traditional kintsugi technique, except he didn’t use gold powder or lacquer but superglue, and he delicately painted the cracks with woad blue. And my bowl is even more beautiful now.
I’m lingering, I can tell—it’s just that a story wraps itself in life, and life can’t be told in the snap of a finger. Life is long. Like in architecture, you start with a rough sketch, called a "sous-cul" (the initial pencil drawing), then you make a tracing, which is the work itself, the one you later carefully roll up in a wooden tube.
Life is like that: you erase, you start over, you use the nub of the pencil until it’s tiny, but you keep going—dreaming, loving.
"Living is a full-time occupation, a unique adventure. Always a surprise and a wonder, which sometimes turns into astonishment. And, from time to time, happiness."*
Alright, enough digressing—this introduction is definitely too long.
Tomorrow, I’ll get to the heart of the matter.
(I hate that expression; it feels like I’m cutting into someone’s skin.)
I’m Yann, a 28-year-old TikToker who loves traveling!
Since I’ve been to several destinations, I’d love to get a flag from each one as a sort of trophy. But from what I’ve seen online, a lot of sites sell them with what looks like really poor quality...
So I’m reaching out to you all to share a site you usually use—help me start my collection! :)
hi there
I’d love to get some opinions—I’ve never used Airbnb before.
They’re offering a key handover via lockbox.
Any tips or advice?
Is it reliable?
Best,
Hi there, I’m Laura, and I’m looking for a few people to answer some questions so I can understand your travel wishes and challenges. It won’t take long—I can chat here, by email, or by phone. Don’t worry, I’m not selling anything! 😊
On this forum, we talk a lot about trekking in the Himalayas, but I’d love to share another side of Nepal: its spiritual, cultural, and religious atmosphere, especially in Kathmandu.
Nepal, much like Tibet and Bhutan, is deeply connected to the Himalayas—the ultimate sacred mountain range. This small country exudes a calming vibe, shaped by a strong spiritual dimension. What I loved most was the unique sensory experience you get there. Walking around temples and tantric monasteries, a distinct scent fills the air—aromatic plants used for ritual fumigation. Locals mainly burn Himalayan juniper, cedar, sandalwood, and other local essences. This fragrant smoke is a way to purify the space and reach the deities, and you’re constantly enveloped in these aromas.
Another striking aspect is the sound. As soon as you step outside, you hear bells ringing in front of temples. People ring them three times before praying to announce their presence to the deities. Nepal is also the birthplace of singing bowls and sound meditation practices. In Kathmandu, you can easily find meditation sessions or "sound baths."
The spiritual dimension is everywhere: a Hindu sadhu practicing asceticism, a lama in deep red robes with his mala, turning a prayer wheel while murmuring "Om mani padme hum." Newar Buddhism, Tantrism, and Hinduism coexist harmoniously in daily life.
For those who love exploring a destination through its culture and spirituality, Nepal is an unforgettable place. What was your spiritual experience in Nepal like?
Hi,
I’m landing in Quebec and then heading to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I’d like to rent a pick-up. My question is: does this vehicle come with a cover and is it secure enough to store luggage in? I’ve heard two conflicting opinions. Thanks
I just installed the Maps.Me app on my phone. I only recently found out about this app. I’m traveling in 2 weeks and a few days, and I’m a bit stuck on how to use it.
I’m from the Montreal (Quebec) area, and I’d love to know if there’s a kind soul out there who could help me get started and use the app at least minimally.
If there are private lessons available, I’d be interested in those too.
Like many others, I’m overjoyed to hear that VoyageForum is reopening! I’ve been waiting hopefully for this, and it’s wonderful that it’s finally happening!
I just couldn’t bring myself to actively participate in other French-language travel forums—their format and way of doing things never appealed to me as much. I really hope that VF’s structure, categories, and interface won’t change too much despite the handover, because I’m very attached to them. Through thick and thin, the site has held strong—it’s amazing!
In a previous message, François mentioned that there were positions to fill ahead of the reopening, including moderators...
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this and hoping to send in my CV.
Now, after reading the latest message, it seems like the team is already fully formed. But are there still a few spots left to fill?
I’ve been a VF member for 20 years (since 2004). I’d love to contribute to this wonderful adventure as a moderator if VF would trust me with the role. If the team is open to reviewing it, I’m ready to send my CV. Could you let me know the next steps?
I’m planning a 3-week trip to Japan in May with Voyage Privé. The package includes a 5 GB eSIM, but my phone isn’t new enough to support it. VP told me I could buy a SIM card when I arrive at the airport.
Sure enough, I’ve seen online that this is possible with different providers.
I only need it for checking routes, looking up addresses, train schedules, etc.—basically using Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and similar apps. No heavy downloads or major internet use. All hotels should provide free Wi-Fi for that, right?
Has anyone got any tips for me on this? What have you tried, and how much did it cost?
Thanks for your help!
I’d like to know if you can buy reef-safe sunscreen sprays at 7-Eleven. If so, how much do they cost? We’re traveling with backpacks, so we’ll either buy 100ml here or in Thailand.
I wanted to share a really unpleasant experience from our last trip booked with Promoséjours and organized by FTI.
We booked an 8-day/7-night stay in Egypt, from June 8 to 15.
The flight initially scheduled was changed a week before departure to take off at 10 PM from Paris CDG.
In the end, it took off with a 1-hour delay and included an unmentioned stopover in Marsa Alam.
We landed in Hurghada at 4 AM and arrived at the hotel at 6 AM.
So, we spent our first night on the plane.
For the return trip, surprise—the flight was moved up. We left the hotel at 10:30 PM on Friday the 14th to take off at 2 AM and land at 7 AM at Paris CDG.
So, we spent our last night on the plane too.
After sending a complaint letter to Promoséjours / FTI, they replied that the first and last days can be dedicated to transport (which I already knew) and that no matter how many nights you book, you’re not guaranteed to spend them in the hotel—it could just as well be on the plane.
I’m really questioning this.
Isn’t there a law that protects customers in cases like this?
Because when I do the math, the first and part of the second day were spent on transport, same for the second-to-last and last day. And I paid for 7 nights for a stay that only lasted 5.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to them—thanks to their two sleepless nights in transit, I’m coming back even more exhausted from a trip that was supposed to be restful!
I also want to warn anyone booking through this agency about visas for Egypt.
At booking, they told me the visa was included in the price, then they sent me an email saying I’d have to pay for it on-site at 25 €.
Once there, we were directed to a special line for FTI customers, and guess what? They charged us 30 €!
Basically, they’re great at making sure you *enjoy* your vacation—mostly by enjoying your wallet!
If anyone has dealt with this kind of situation and won their case, I’m all ears.
Hi there!
I’m heading to Thailand for two months.
So I thought I’d get a Thai SIM card to use Google Maps for getting around cities, mostly.
Here’s my question: will this SIM affect my apps? Or will they work the same as with my Orange SIM?
Is there any setup I need to do, or can I just pop in the Thai SIM?
I’d also like to switch back to my Orange SIM now and then while I’m in Thailand—on the same phone. Will I need to reset the phone, or will it reconnect without any issues?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Best,
Huiclos
Hi, I’d like to know where we can buy beer or wine in Chefchaouen and around Merzouga. We’ll be doing a circuit and staying at the Parador Hotel in Chefchaouen and in a bivouac in Merzouga.
Thanks for any info you can share!
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globe-trotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m launching a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of this journal will focus on opening up to the world, embracing differences, travel, global cultures, and more.
I’m putting out a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a postcard (from France or anywhere in the world)! The goal is to help us "travel" and discover new places, countries, and horizons in a way that’s much more fun and exciting than a geography textbook. One section of our journal could be called "We received a letter from ," where we’d research the location and share what we learn with our readers—a really enriching activity for the classroom.
The project starts in September 2025 but doesn’t have a strict end date, since this journal and world-discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in the ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! The kids will find them when they return.
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible, and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow travelers. Help us dream and explore!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!

Hi there! I have to leave Ivato/Antananarivo on December 16th. I have a lot of ariary that I’d like to exchange for euros since I might not be coming back to Madagascar (after this 21st trip). I think the exchange office at Ivato also buys ariary back. If any of you have seen the rate for this buyback in advance, thanks a million!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a website that would let me plot my travel route in advance so I can print it out. The idea is to create a map with a little “me” on a bike that my parents can move along as I progress, since I’m planning to cycle all the way to Nepal.
If any of you have done something similar or know of a good tool, I’d love to hear your tips!
Thanks in advance! 😊
I'm looking to buy an ultra-lightweight 50/55L travel backpack with a suitcase or front opening.
Does anyone have any brand and/or model recommendations?
Thanks,

Hello. We’re a retired couple heading to Sri Lanka from January to March. After the November floods, I’d like to know if we can offer hands-on help to the locals, maybe pack some clothes or other items people might need in our luggage, and who we could give them to. Thanks for any info from those on the ground.
Be careful when sailing between Somalia and northern Madagascar.
It appears to be Somali pirates who have widened their search in the Mozambique Channel, far from their usual attack zone, since, to my knowledge, there are no Malagasy pirates.
