Original post
Bonjour à tous et toute, je suis nouveau sur le blog et je le trouve vraiment très bien fait.
Ce qui m'amène aujourd'hui c'est que j'ai pris une contravention à new york il ya 3 jours..
j'étais garé trop près d'une borne incendie et je ne savais pas qu'il y avait une distance à respecter! de plus il n'y avait pas de bande jaune sur le trottoire pour m'alerter!
j'essaie de régulariser par carte bleu sur le cite "NYC online parking payements" mais lorsque je rentre le numero de ma carte il n'y a pas assez de place pour y mettre tous les numéros! Quelqu'un peut il ou elle m'aider? merci
Les cartes bleues n'existent pas aux USA.
Les cartes sont soit des visas, des master cards, des American Express, etc... mais pas des cates bleues.
Les bandes autour des bornes incendie sont rouges, pas jaunes.

Si c'est une visa, le numero devrait commencer par un 4 avec au total 16 numéros.
Il faut rajouter à cela la date d'expiration et souvent les 3 numéros en question sont inscrits au verso dans la bande blanche de signature.

Ce sont des fenêtres différentes.

Le vol est trop important dans un voyage pour ne regarder que le prix.

Merci mais ce n'est pas une copie d'écran.
Tu ne peux entrer que 11; Parque que les chiffres suivant ne sont pas acceptés ? OÙ Les premiers chiffres entrés disparaissent ?

Toutes les cartes, peu importe leur émetteur (visa, mastercard, amex, etc...) ont 16 chiffres (4 groupes de 4 chiffres).
Elles se reconnaissent par leur 1er chiffre (4 pour une visa, 3 pour une amex, 5 pour une mastercard, etc...).
Bonjour,
Je crois que le probleme, c'est le message suivant:
The specified US ZIP Code is invalid.
C'est le code postal. Evidemment, tu n'as pas de zip code. (C'est possible que le site prend les 5 premieres chiffres de ta carte comme un zip code.)

Je viens d'appeler un bureau de la ville de NYC. (le numero de telephone etait sur leur FAQ: 212-639-9675) La femme m'a dit que normalement leur site accepte des cartes de credit avec une adresse a l'etranger. Elle ne savait pas ce qu'il faut taper comme zip code dans ta situation, mais elle a suggere que tu demandes au bureau de parking en utilisant le site suivant:
http://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/about/contact-by-email/contact-parking-ticket-payments.page
Tu peux demander, par exemple: "When paying my parking ticket online, what should I put in the "zip code" field for my address, since my address is outside of the USA and I don't have a zip code?"

Ce que tu fais est génial ! Vraiment une belle communauté VF !
Un copier coller n'est pas du tout la même chose qu'une copie d'écran qui est très utile a maitriser.Voici un exemple;

il ne me demande pas de marque justement!! il n'y a que deux choix et c'est directement chèque ou crédit carte! et lorsque je rentre les 16 chiffres de la carte il n'y en a que 11 qui rentrent:(!
Pas de marque ! Il y a quelque chose qui cloche à mon avis. Ou le zip code étranger bloque tout ? Tu avais une voiture de location ou pas ? Si location, la compagnie de location va être débité et te refileras la somme sur ta carte de crédit avec quelques frais.

Une carte de crédit comporte 16 chiffres (du moins la mienne, j'ai une Visa d'une banque Canadienne). Il faut donc un espace de 16 chiffres dans le champ de données.
Possible qu'il y ait une erreur sur le site.
Ça serait vraiment utile s'il pouvait nous faire une capture d'écran!! 🤪

Salut,
J'imagine que c'est sur ce site : secure24.ipayment.com/...ts/nycbookmark_1.htm que tu te connectes pour payer ton amende.
Si jamais tu n'arrives pas à nous faire une copie d'écran montrant la fameuse case qui pose problème, reste une solution : Nous donner le Violation Number pour qu'on accède au reste (mais on ne paiera pas ton amende, on t'aidera juste à le faire 😉)
Mais bon le mieux serait quand même une copie d'écran
Puis si vraiment tu n'arrives pas à payer cette amende, contacte le service (au bas de la page que je t'ai mise en lien - rubrique ''Contact Us'')
"Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer" (Baudelaire)
en tout cas merci pour tous vos conseils 🙂, je crois que je suis un peu une buse niveau informatique🤪 pour la manip je clic sur "impr éccran syst" et je fais "ctrl V " dans la boite de dialogue
j'ai pourtant l'impression que sa marche car je vois la saisie d'écran apparaitre! je recommence

Une fois fait, tu n'as qu'a peser su le bouton "Prévisualiser" et tu verras. Ou tu viens simplement sur le forum pour voir le résultat.
Tu aurais vu qu'il n'y a rien....

C'est quoi le numéro de plaque ? Violation # , le Type ? etc etc....
Ça fait 20 jours que tu es sur ce problème de payer la contravention, abandonne ou amène ton ordinateur ( avec toutes les informations ) à quelqu'un qui s'y connaît. Car c'est évident que tu n'y arrivera pas .

salut,
ALors voilà j'ai compris le problème (mais je te rassure il n'y en a pas, enfin si j'ai bien compris!!)
Dans la case Card Number, entre TOUS les chiffres de ta carte (les 16). En fait la fenêtre contient 11 chiffres mais l'intégralité du numéro de ta carte entrera (les 5 derniers chiffres seront ''cachés''). J'ai essayé avec une de mes cartes et cela a fonctionné. Donc normalement ça devrait marcher pour toi! N'oublie pas la Case CID correspondant aux chiffres situés derrière ta carte (chiffres de sécurité) - en général 3 chiffres
Au passage, j'ai vu que si tu payes par Carte tu as des frais de 2,49% du montant ce qui n'est pas le cas si tu payes par chèque (en remplissant le numéro de compte - IBAN international). A mon avis ça peut être une option pour éviter des doubles frais (frais liés au site et frais liés à ta banque vu que tu vas payer par carte en $US!)
Tiens nous au courant!!
Tiens nous au courant!!

Salut,
Surtout pas abandonner, une contravention non payée peut coûter cher avec le temps.....
Je pense avoir résolu son ''problème'', j'ai hâte d'avoir la fin de l'histoire pour voir si mon ''idée'' est la bonne! 😛

J'ai évoqué cette possibilité le 12 juin car c'est très courant, mais qui ne semblait pas fonctionner non plus d'après notre ami.

Mes excuses Louis 😊, bref si cela fonctionne ce sera toi qui aura trouvé la solution!!
Maintenant si ca ne fonctionne pas, je pense que notre ami doit payer par cheque, ce sera plus simple!!
En tout cas j'ai fait un test hier et avec ma MasterCard ca fonctionnait sans problème (le message annoncant que la carte n'était pas valide s'est effacé très rapidement à l'entrée des chiffres de ma carte)

Payer par chèque ce sera compliqué s'il n'a pas besoin compte bancaire US!

Il a répondu que ça ne fonctionnais pas.
Par la suite il a reconnu ne pas être très habile avec les ordi ce qui m'a fait écrire hier ;
"Ça fait 20 jours que tu es sur ce problème de payer la contravention, abandonne ou amène ton ordinateur (avec toutes les informations) à quelqu'un qui s'y connaît. Car c'est évident que tu n'y arrivera pas"

Ça ne prend pas 10 jours pour régler ce simple problème sauf si le problème est devant l'écran😏

Salut,
Payer par chèque semble faisable (je dis semble car j'ai pas essayé) mais j'ai été voir par curiosité et cela prend ''juste'' l'IBAN (International Bank Account Number), que notre ami trouvera facilement sur un RIB (Relevé d'Identité Bancaire), et le nom de la banque..
Mais peut être que par carte (si ça marche - et ça devrait marcher) ce sera plus simple (les frais étant de 2,49%, sur 115$ ç'est pas monstrueux!!
Reste à voir comment notre ''ami'' se débrouille!!

As-tu une petite idée de combien ça coûte? 😉
Au entre 15$ et 30$, selon la banque...

Mince, moi qui croyais que c'était ''gratuit'' 😊, bon faut dire que même à l'heure de la mondialisation rien n'est gratuit 😛
Bref avec la carte de Crédit ce sera plus simple (y'a que les imbéciles qui ne changent pas d'avis.... je me vise directement et non notre initiateur du post, pas le goût que ma remarque soit mal interprétée 😄)

Hello! The itinerary is pretty much set for August 2026. Yeah, I know it’s gonna be *super* hot. But it’s the only time we can get away.
So, here’s the plan: Montpellier-CDG-Dallas.
Stay from July 31 to August 26, 2026: Car rental – check, Hotels – check, Itinerary – almost check, Photo gear – check, Budget – check, 🤪 Meal planning – meh, we’ll see... Walmart, of course, for the cooler when we arrive.
And now, without too much detail...
Fort Worth: The Longhorns and the Stockyards; JR’s ranch (for the missus); Medal of Honor Museum – Arlington.
Houston and NASA Space Center: See the Gulf of Mexico/America.
San Antonio and the missions.
Fort Stockton for an overnight stop.
El Paso via Guadalupe Mountains: El Paso and White Sands.
Tucson and the Pima Air & Space Museum: Tombstone, Bisbee.
Phoenix:
Still working on the program.
Sedona: Round trip around the area via Flagstaff and Williams, or the Grand Canyon (already done) – we’ll decide on the spot.
Albuquerque: Santa Fe, Turquoise Trail, Los Alamos.
Amarillo via Route 66: Old Route 66 in the city; Big Texas Ranch Steak 😏.
Dallas: JFK Museum; Perot Museum; West End district.
And through it all – the road, the road, and more road!!!
We’ll adapt day by day based on our mental and physical state (we’re not exactly spring chickens).
Return to France: Dallas-Montpellier via CDG.
Cheers!

Hello everyone! Really damaged due to flooding caused by runoff after forest fires (a total mess!), does anyone in this friendly forum have any updates on the Apache Trail between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Dam? Is there still a section of the road that’s tough to navigate?

Hi there,
We're leaving at the end of June and will be driving the route between Buffalo and Cody. We’ve already booked our accommodations and a rodeo in Cody, but during the day, we’ll be driving between the two and I’m unsure about the itinerary. Which route do you think is the most pleasant, interesting, or scenic between: - The northern route via Highway 14 with Sheridan, Lowell, etc. - The southern route with Highways 16/20/14, passing by Loaf Mountain Overlook, Powder River Pass, Ten Sleep Canyon...
We’ll be in a car, so we should be able to drive on any road. Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone! 🙂
I’m almost done planning our September road trip. After our 3-night visit to Sequoia, we’ll have a stopover night in Coalinga (to break up the drive). We’ll be staying two nights in Monterey and would like to stop along the way to visit one side of Pinnacles National Park. We’re torn between the West entrance and the East entrance, and we’d like to do a short hike of no more than 2 hours since we don’t want to arrive too late in Monterey.
This park is split into two distinct zones with no connection between them, and the mileage from Coalinga to Monterey is pretty much the same for both. Which area do you recommend visiting—east or west? And which route is the most scenic?
I’ve spotted two short hikes: - East: Moses Spring to Rim Trail Loop - West: Balconies Cliffs Cave Loop
Has anyone been there, or do you have another hike to suggest?
Thanks in advance, and have a great afternoon! Marcalamar 🙂

Hello everyone,
After our first trip as a young couple to the West in 2007 (yes, that doesn’t make us any younger!), we’re planning to go back in 2028, but this time as a family of four! (We have two boys who’ll be 5½ and 13 years old in the summer of 2028.)
Our plan is to combine a few big cities (SF and LA, maybe San Diego) with national parks and state parks, mostly! Ideally, we’d like to leave at the end of June and head back to France around July 19–20, so we can enjoy the first week of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Since we already did the "loop" in 2007, there are must-see places we absolutely want to revisit—and especially share with our kids: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, and above all, the Grand Canyon, which is still the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen on Earth!
On the other hand, some places didn’t leave a big impression on us for various reasons, so we’re not making them a priority: Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, for example.
We’re planning ahead, but might as well be smart about it😏
Do you have any tips for a fun and doable itinerary over about 20–25 days with kids, without rushing?
Thanks in advance for your feedback😉

Hi everyone! 🙂
Just a quick question about King Canyon and Sequoia National Park.
Before our night in Miramonte, we plan to visit King Canyon. The next stop will be two nights in Three Rivers to explore Sequoia National Park. I wanted to go all the way to Roaring River Falls on the King Canyon Scenic Byway and then turn back to head to Miramonte. Since we’re coming from Oakhurst, Google Maps says it’s 300 km and 5 hours of driving. Since we also want to hike to see the sequoias (Big Stump Area and Grand Grove) before tackling the King Canyon Scenic Byway, the timing’s going to be tight. How far do you recommend going before turning back to miss as few points of interest as possible on the King Canyon Scenic Byway? Thanks for your advice, and have a great evening!

Hi everyone!
After years of hoping, waiting, planning, then changing, saving, and searching for the best possible route... we're FINALLY off this summer for a 5-week road trip in the West.
I had planned a trip to Colorado in 2021 but canceled due to COVID, so with time passing and my eldest’s high school graduation approaching fast, I figured it was now or never!
Anyway, the itinerary has been modified and extended to please everyone (I’m no longer the only one making decisions!!)
Here’s our final route: Day 1 - 7/12/2026 - Brussels / Los Angeles Day 2 - 7/13/2026 - Los Angeles Day 3 - 7/14/2026 - Los Angeles Day 4 - 7/15/2026 - Los Angeles Day 5 - 7/16/2026 - Los Angeles Day 6 - 7/17/2026 - Los Angeles / Kingman Day 7 - 7/18/2026 - Kingman / Grand Canyon Day 8 - 7/19/2026 - Grand Canyon / Page Day 9 - 7/20/2026 - Page Day 10 - 7/21/2026 - Page / Monument Valley Day 11 - 7/22/2026 - Monument Valley / Durango Day 12 - 7/23/2026 - Durango Day 13 - 7/24/2026 - Durango Day 14 - 7/25/2026 - Durango Day 15 - 7/26/2026 - Durango / Glenwood Springs Day 16 - 7/27/2026 - Glenwood Springs Day 17 - 7/28/2026 - Glenwood Springs / Moab Day 18 - 7/29/2026 - Moab Day 19 - 7/30/2026 - Moab Day 20 - 7/31/2026 - Moab Day 21 - 8/1/2026 - Moab Day 22 - 8/2/2026 - Moab / Vernal Day 23 - 8/3/2026 - Vernal / Grand Teton Day 24 - 8/4/2026 - Grand Teton Day 25 - 8/5/2026 - Grand Teton / Cody Day 26 - 8/6/2026 - Cody / Yellowstone Day 27 - 8/7/2026 - Yellowstone Day 28 - 8/8/2026 - Yellowstone Day 29 - 8/9/2026 - Yellowstone Day 30 - 8/10/2026 - Yellowstone / Salt Lake City Day 31 - 8/11/2026 - Salt Lake City / Bryce Canyon Day 32 - 8/12/2026 - Bryce Canyon / Zion Day 33 - 8/13/2026 - Zion Day 34 - 8/14/2026 - Zion Day 35 - 8/15/2026 - Zion / Las Vegas Day 36 - 8/16/2026 - Las Vegas Day 37 - 8/17/2026 - Las Vegas / Los Angeles Day 38 - 8/18/2026 - Los Angeles Day 39 - 8/19/2026 - Los Angeles / Brussels Day 40 - 8/20/2026 - Brussels / Home
We’ll be alternating between house swaps, motels, and campgrounds. I’ve booked all the accommodations (except the campground at Bryce since sunset bookings open only 14 days in advance) and the first activities, as well as the most touristy ones.
I’m currently putting together my day-by-day roadbook and having some trouble planning certain days, like in LA or Las Vegas. Choosing hikes isn’t easy either—it’s tough to decide!
We’re really excited but could definitely use your help with choices and optimizations!!

Hello.
I’d like to travel along I-15N from San Diego to Las Vegas with my mom, who’s 67. We’ve explored Northern California and the California Coast over the past two years and now want to continue through the desert.
There are several attractions along the way: - Mormon Rocks - Desert Discovery Center and visit the Old Woman meteorite - Joshua Tree National Park - Mojave Desert - Mojave National Preserve - Anza-Borrego Desert State Park - Silverwood Lake
My mom has back issues that prevent her from hiking or walking on trails with elevation changes. Is it possible to visit these places by car, or are the routes flat enough?
I’d love for her to experience the desert with an itinerary adapted to her condition. I’m also open to other points of interest that aren’t mentioned. We have 3-4 days for the trip, so we’re not in a rush—just want to explore.
Thanks so much. The trip would be in fall 2026

Hi there,
I’d love to take a road trip and visit Nova Scotia. I’d appreciate some info on the best cities to see and the most interesting spots. The trip should last about 10 to 15 days, staying in hotels or motels. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
Quick question—I’m heading to New York soon and I’d love to know if you guys have any recommendations for websites where I can buy concert tickets?

Hi there,
We’re being relocated to Saint Pierre and Miquelon. We’ll be taking the flight from Nantes to Montreal and then from Montreal to Saint Pierre. Could you recommend a hotel near the departure terminal that allows dogs?
Thanks!

Hi,
My 16-year-old son is flying to Grand Rapids with other kids his age. There’s a layover in Detroit. There’s no unaccompanied minor service available. Is it pretty easy to navigate Detroit Airport to catch the connecting flight to Grand Rapids (domestic flight)? There are several of them who speak English well.
Thanks for your replies,
Good evening, everyone! 🙂
Just a few last questions to wrap up our Lake Tahoe visit plans.
**Parking:** We’d like to walk to Eagle Falls and then Eagle Lake. I’ve spotted two parking lots that seem close to each other and give access to the trailhead. Where and how do we pay for entry to Emerald Bay State Park and Inspiration Point?
**Viewpoints on the East Side:** Are most of the viewpoints (Balancing Rock, Granite Cave, Bonsai Rock, etc.) right by the road, or do you have to hike to reach them?
**Donner Memorial State Park:** Is it worth making a detour to Truckee to visit this park and the Truckee historic downtown?
Thanks in advance for your tips! 🙂

Hi there. I'm shocked by the price of the Upper Antelope Canyon tour—$175 for less than an hour… You might say, "if you can’t afford it…" But the real question is whether it’s really worth it, because $350 for two makes me feel like I’m getting ripped off. For those who’ve done both Lower and Upper, can you tell me if the price difference is really justified? Thanks
Hi everyone! 🙂
As you can see, we're heading back from September 6th to the 27th.
Everything’s booked for September—flights, accommodations, and the car. As I plan, I’ll be asking the experts for help. This is our second trip to California, but most of the stops are new to us.
We’ll start directly from San Francisco to our first overnight stop, Davis, before heading to Lassen Volcanic Park for 4 nights. Our flight lands at 12:50 PM.
Here’s our itinerary: Day 1: Davis – overnight stop Day 2: Red Bluff – exploring Lassen Volcanic Park (scenic drive to Lake Helen) Day 3: Susanville – scenic drive through the park via the South Entrance, points of interest, and hikes Day 4: Susanville – Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes hike Day 5: Susanville – Warner Valley (hikes) Day 6: South Lake Tahoe Day 7: South Lake Tahoe Day 8: Mammoth Lake Day 9: Mammoth Lake Day 10: El Portal via Tioga Road Day 11: El Portal Day 12: El Portal Day 13: Oakhurst Day 14: Miramonte Day 15: Three Rivers Day 16: Three Rivers Day 17: Coalinga Day 18: Monterey Day 19: Monterey Day 20: San Francisco Day 21: San Francisco Day 22: Departure
For hikes in Lassen Volcanic Park, I’ve planned: Bumpass Hell, Cold Boiling Lake (Day 2) Paradise Meadow (maybe not going all the way), Devastated Area, and the loop around Reflection and Manzanita Lakes (Day 3) Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes (Day 4) Devil’s Kitchen and Boiling Spring Lake (Day 5)
I’ve read there are trails to access the trailheads for Cinder Cone (11 km) and Warner Valley. Are these easy trails for an SUV? Are there any other must-see spots or things we shouldn’t miss?
That’s where I’m at for now. Thanks for your replies, and have a great evening! Marcalamar 🙂

Hi everyone,
I’m a total USA addict. I’ve already done several road trips, including the East Coast and West Coast. I’m here today because I’m planning to go back for another road trip on the West Coast. Possibly with one of my sisters and a couple of friends. It’s still just a plan for now, but I’m working on an itinerary in the meantime. Ideally, I’d leave in 2026, but I don’t have the exact dates yet—maybe April-May or September-October. My last trip to the West Coast was in September 2014. We went for 2 weeks, but this time it’d be 3 weeks. What made me want to go back was simply a colleague who just left today. As I’m writing this, he’s on the plane. I’m so happy for him, but now all I can think about is going back.
Since I recently went to NY, I noticed that prices have really gone up. I assume the same is true for the West Coast? For 2 people over 3 weeks, what budget should I expect? We’re the type to watch our spending and find great tips. I think we’ll arrive in San Francisco like the first time and leave from either Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
Thanks to everyone for your advice and help.

Thanks for advising me on the booking—should I reserve a room in the hotel or go for a cabin for the best view?
Should I get breakfast or not?
What do you think of the restaurant?
Hello, if the off-the-beaten-path enthusiasts are still around 😉, I’d love some info on tackling these trails. I’m not super familiar with the rules, risks, or what to expect—I’m looking for firsthand experience from folks who’ve done it on their own once or multiple times.
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a week-long family trip to NYC in October 2026. The focus is on museums and soaking up the New York vibe. I’ve been checking Airbnb, but the prices in Manhattan are through the roof. Since I don’t know NYC well, is it "wise" to look outside Manhattan? Any neighborhoods you’d recommend?
Hello,
After our first trip to the West, we’d love to go back to see other must-see spots!
The stay would be from May 11 to 20, 2026—it’s short, but hey...
M11: Lyon to Las Vegas (overnight in Vegas) T12: Route 66 – overnight in Grand Canyon (GC) W13: Visit GC – overnight in Page Th14: Visit Antelope Canyon / Horseshoe Bend – overnight in Monument Valley (MV) F15: Visit MV – overnight in Moab Sa16: Visit Arches / Dead Horse Point – overnight in Bryce Su17: Visit Bryce – overnight in Zion M18: Visit Zion / Valley of Fire – overnight in Vegas Tu19: Return flight
What do you think? Could we add one more night somewhere? We’re not big hikers, so we’ll mostly explore the parks using shuttles.
Also, we’re all set—passports are good. Do you think one classic Visa card and one premium Visa card will be enough for coverage?
Thanks so much for your feedback, and happy holidays!
Christophe

Hi North America forum crew,
Just a little post that might interest some of you:
Travelers to the United States | Photo Now Mandatory Upon Entry and Exit | La Presse
Hi everyone.
I assume many of you already know, but the America the Beautiful annual pass, which was $80, will increase to $250 starting January 1, 2026.
So if you're planning to travel before the end of December 2026, it's in your best interest to buy your pass in December 2025, since it will still cost $80 and be valid until the end of December 2026 if you purchase it in December 2025.
This price increase only applies to non-U.S. residents.
Additionally, for those who planned to visit just one park, a $100 surcharge per person will apply to access a list of 11 national parks... For example, if there are 4 of you in a car, you’ll have to pay $35 + $400, which comes to $435 to visit one of the 11 parks on the list (I don’t have all of them... Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, etc.). Total madness.
The goal is to push people who only visit one park into buying the annual pass.
Last point: free entry days are over for non-residents!
That’s all for now.

Hi everyone, I’m traveling to Los Angeles and would like to rent a vehicle at the airport. However, I have a Boursobank Ultim deferred debit card, so I’d love to know if it’s possible for those who’ve experienced this recently. Thanks for the info!
Hi VF community,
I’m planning a week in S.F. in April 2026 and I can’t figure out how to tell the cable cars—of which I understand there are three lines—apart from the trams, which I think number seven. I can’t find their individual numbers or routes anywhere.
Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2026 full of amazing travels. Cheers, Régine

Hi,
I’m planning a road trip through the American national parks starting from Denver in June 2026.
The price of the pass is jumping from 80 € to 250 € on January 1st, 2026!!!
Is it possible to buy the pass online before the end of the year to lock in the 80 € rate? If so, where and how do I go about it?
Thanks for your tips.

Hey everyone!
We just finished 9 days in the American West and wanted to share our experience because we had an amazing time.
I know some of you might ask, why use an agency? Honestly, we didn’t really feel like doing all the driving and planning, especially since we didn’t know the area at all. And since our English isn’t great, having French-speaking guides was a big comfort.
We found Emmanuelle and Isabelle, and wow, they were fantastic. It was just the two of us with them, so it was a truly VIP, ultra-personalized experience. They treated us like royalty from start to finish. These two live in Las Vegas and know the region like the back of their hand. They told us they’ve spent over 15 years exploring every corner of the American West, and it really shows. Their knowledge of geology, park history, and local anecdotes is just impressive. It’s nothing like someone reciting a memorized script. They answer all your questions and really adapt to what you want to see or do.
What we really loved: the vehicle was super comfortable, and the little details made a difference—like snacks and even a homemade cake! Though, to be fair, we devoured the cake right away, so that counts.
Since they know the sites inside out, they took us at the right times to avoid crowds. So we could enjoy peaceful picnics at Grand Canyon viewpoints without being packed in with 200 people. Plus, on top of the must-see spots, they showed us some hidden gems that were absolutely stunning—places we never would’ve found on our own. They’re true locals who know all the best tips.
The service was really personalized. They adapted to our pace and preferences, and we could stop whenever we wanted to take photos. It’s the luxury of being in a small private group—you’re not just a number on a big bus. In short, we really felt like we were traveling with friends rather than professional guides. Everything’s included in the price (hotel pickup, meals, park entries, etc.), so the value for money is fair.
We loved it so much that we’re already planning to come back next year to explore other areas with them. I think we’ve caught the American West bug—it’s all we can think about, and we can’t wait to return.
If you’re looking for a French-speaking tour with real personalized service and guides who know the region like no one else, we highly recommend them. We had unforgettable moments. They also design road trips for those who don’t want a guide. And they handled our hotel reservations in Las Vegas too. If you want genuine advice from friendly locals, we’re giving them a 200% recommendation!

Hello,
I’m currently looking for well-located hotels near points of interest in the cities below. I’ve found a few, but the prices are really high. Could any of you share some great addresses in the following cities? - Los Angeles - Las Vegas - San Francisco
Also, do you have a preferred airline for domestic flights? If so, which one?
Thanks so much, and have a great day, everyone!
