bonjour,
je te confirme que ce n'est pas une arnaque, si tu as respecter toutes les étapes biens sur.
j'ai essayer d'en bénéficier, mais a cause d'orange (delais de livraisons trop long) j'ai envoyé mon coupons le 1 novembre en espérant qu'il vont accepter !!!
sinon je compte poursuivre orange en justice🙁

Je suis pas du genre "joueur", j ai tourne le truc dans tout les sens et y a pas l air d avoir de vice caché sinon le fait de pouvoir choisir sa date de voyage (3 choix en réalité).... c'est juste que j'ai envoyé le 11 octobre en recommandé et on est le 16 Novembre....tjrs rien... meme si je suppose qu ils doivent etre un peut surbook du fait du success de l offre

Salut!!!!!
je vais t annoncer une nouvelle qui va te rassurer: j'ai envoye mon dossier le 11 octobre et j ai rien recu, par contre ma copine cherie l a envoye le 25 vient de le recevoir hier samedi..... donc je suppose qu ils n ont pas traiter les dossiers au fur et a mesure....patience, et le bon de reservation va arriver!!!!!!
moins loin, moins vite, moins fort....
Coucou,
Je suis dans le même cas que toi j'ai répondu à l'opération samsung, j'ai renvoyé mon bon de réservation en recommandé et j'attend toujours la confirmation, j'espère juste que ce n'est pas une arnaque. j'ai lu sur d'autre forum que les délais varie selon les dossiers, alors je me demande si ils font passer en priorité les bons de réservation pour les premiers mois à venir. je reserve pour mi juin juillet, ce sont mes dates, tu as demandé plutôt?

Hello, mon ami et moi avons envoyé nos bulletin en même temps, le 22 octobre. J'ai reçu chez moi le bulletin de reservation 4 semaines après (jour pour jour) mais lui n'a toujours rien reçu chez lui au bout de 5 semaines...
Si bcp de monde est dans ce cas, ils doivent avoir un peu de retard !
re à tous!!!!!!!!!!
j ai appele directement samsung cet apres midi et apres plusieurs personnes au bout du fil, j ai eu la responsable commerciale de l operation ultras days, et elle m a confirme les retards dus a certains problèmes dans les dossiers. toutes les demandes sont acceptees, et tout le monde recevra son bon d ici quelques jours.
J ai garde son numero au cas ou ca merdouille!!!!!!!
Bon voyage à tous!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bon voyage à tous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonjour Pelo,
j'ai reçu mon bon de réservation et j'ai respecté toutes les conditions. Ma première date est posé pour le 15 février et j'attends maintenant depuis plus de 4 semaines qu'on me contacte. Est-ce que c'est possible que tu me passes le numéro du responsable commerciale? Je voudrais tellement partir et c'est le seul moment où je vais pouvoir partir pendant les vacances de février.
J'espère que tu me contacteras au plus vite possible.
Merci d'avance
Je reponds de suite!!!!!!
alors, une fois que le bon de réservation est reçu et renvoyé, c'est la société TLC MARKETING qui prend le relais. Tu peux téléphoner à la hot line qui figure en petit caractère sur le bon de réservation. Si ils ont reçu ton bon et traité, tu pourras réservé avec eux par téléphone.
je n'ai pas le numéro sous les yeux (c'est un 0800....) mais si tu ne l'as pas noté je peux te le repasser.
Donc récapitulatif, tu appelles TLC marketing, et c'est avec eux que tu vas réserver ta date finale et payer tes taxes. Terminé pour Samsung à partir de la.
Bye
Bye
moins loin, moins vite, moins fort....
Merci,
c'est bon ils viennent de me contacter il y a 10 minutes. Merci quand même pour l'aide.
A propos de la hotline, j'ai essayé auparavant et sans résultat, car il ne décroche jamais et je suis passé par la hotline de Samsung et je me suis faché, et d'un seul coup on obtient ce qu'on veut, c'est bizarre....
Merci encore et bon voyage à toi
Bonjour, avec mon épouse nous avons reçu nos bons de réservation et les avons envoyés avec les choix des dates le 14 janvier (juste à temps...😉) et depuis nous attendons d'etre contactés...😕
@Okocha : tu as été contacté par téléphone combien de temps après avoir envoyé tes dates stp? 😛
Par contre il y avait 2 adreses differentes pour envoyer la demande. Une sur le coupon de réservation et l'autre sur une feuille en annexe. J'ai tenu compte de l'adresse sur la feuille en annexe.. Et vous?
Merci pour vos réponses..

En fait,
j'ai envoyé le bon de réservation le 7 janvier et ils m'ont contacter aujourd'hui, donc 4 semaines plus tard et je vais partir dans une semaine et demie.
Je vous souhaite bonne chance à vous deux pour être contacter. Sinon essayer d'appeler smasung et vous pouvez vous plaindre, les gens réagissent parfois que comme ça.
Bon voyage

Merci pour ta réponse, j'ai reservé pour fin mars donc je patiente encore un peu. Le hic c'est que je dois aussi réserver de quoi loger là-bas et je n'ai pas envie de m'y prendre à la dernière minute... Si pas d'appel de leur part d'ici 15 jours, je suis ton conseil et j'appelle la hot line Samsung. Merci du conseil...😉

3 ans plus tard, l'arnaque est de retour !
En achetant une montre Louis Pion (d'un certain prix) aux Galeries Lafayettes, on me propose cette offre de TLC Marketing. Sceptique mais ayant tourné le papier dans tous les sens sans rien trouver de douteux, je tente le coup. J'y répond scrupuleusement envoyant tout ce qu'il faut. On me répond 3 mois plus tard qu'il manquait dans mon enveloppe deux pauvres timbres et que ma "demande est par conséquent invalide" et qu'il n'y a pas de "repêchage" possible. Mon mari (à qui j'avais offert cette super montre) s'est bien fichu de moi... avec TLC, c'est Toi Le Couillon!
Bonjour
j'interviens car nous aussi , nous avons participé à cette offre de Noel Louis Pion et après avoir suivi scrupuleusement les démarches.... nous venons de recevoir la confirmation de vol !!!
On part à New York cet automne, on est super heureux.
Juste pour dire que certaines personnes dénigreront toujours, mais avant, il faudrait vérifier si elles ont bien respecté les dates de retour des courriers, recommandé ou pas, documents à joindre...
Nous concernant , nous avions reçu un mail nous confirmant la bonne réception de notre courrier, mais que les demandes ayant été très nombreuses, nous devions patienter un peu avant de recevoir une proposition.

Je peux t assurer que tu te trompes.
Je consulte ce forum justement Parce que je veux préparer au mieux ce voyage.
Je suis , du coup, tombée sur ce message et j ai voulu intervenir pour redonner l espoir a ceux qui seraient dans le doute.
Je n ai rien a gagner.
Le but de tout forum est de laisser la liberté a chacun de dire et partager ses expériences.
L opération est terminée je ne vois pas en quoi je viens changer quoi que ce soit.
Désolée que tu aies interprété mon message dans un sens commercial
Désolée que tu aies interprété mon message dans un sens commercial
Je suis désolée mais nous avons bien respecté toutes les conditions, et j'ai cependant reçu un courrier négatif pour cause que je n'avais pas respecté l'envoi sous 15 jours.
Heureusement que je suis scrupuleuse et que j'avais gardé l'enveloppe de reception de TLC MARKETING.
J'ai donc contacté la bijouterie Louis Pion qui ont été très bien car ils sont intervenus auprès de TLC MARKETING qui comme par magie a reconnu avoir fait une erreur mais depuis plus rien.
Ma bijouterie Lousi Pion m'a également confirmé qu'ils avaient eu des soucis de ce genre avec quelques clients et qu'ils ne savaient pas pourquoi.
Ils ne sont pas contents également de TLS MARKETING et avec mon dossier ches l'avocat ils pourront se retourner contre eux.
Donc j'ai mis mon dossier à l'avocat avec toutes les preuves pour publicité mensongère...
Affaire à suivre
Désolée pour toi, les erreurs , hélàs, existent partout.
En tous les cas, je voulais quand meme montrer que ce ne sont pas que des bêtises , car pour nous, cela a bien fonctionné.
Bon courage dans tes démarches
Bon courage dans tes démarches
J'ai participé à l'opération Louis Pion Noël Destination Cadeaux gérée par TLC Marketing.
J'ai envoyé mon bon, puis ai reçu mon bon de réservation TLC qu'il fallait renvoyer avec les dates de voyages souhaitées par RAR, je l'ai envoyé en RAR le 20 décembre 2010, reçu et signé par TLC le 22 décembre 2010.
Il devait me répondre sous 1 mois.
Inquiet, j'appelle début février : "Oui, on est débordé, l'opération a connu un grand succès. Vous allez recevoir un mail..."
Je reçois début mars un mail me disant que vu le succès de l'opération, TLC avait pris du retard dans ses réponses et la gestion des bons de voyage.
Puis plus rien, j'appelle de nouveau le 24 mai 2011, soit plus de 5 mois après la réception de mon bon par TLC, on me dit (je résume) : "L'opération a eu du succès, on a du retard, mais vous allez recevoir un mail..." ; cette fois-ci je ne raccroche pas si vite et demande des explications et montre mon inquiétude et mes doutes quant au sérieux de leur offre "Oui, mais de toute manière y a plus de place pour les États-Unis, faudra choisir d'autres dates, vous allez recevoir un mail..." ; moi "Et donc c'est à moi de vous appeler plus de 5 mois après pour avoir une réponse, négative qui plus est ; je n'ose pas imaginé la situation pour les personnes ayant choisi des dates en avril ou mai... Mais quelle arnaque! C'est fou..." "Bah non mais on n'a pas de dates, vous allez recevoir un mail" "Oui, je devais le recevoir sous 1 mois pas sous 6 mois, et puis vous me parlez d'un futur incertain, la mail à mon avis, il n'arrivera jamais...", c'est alors qu'on me raccroche au nez.
Bref, TLC a fait preuve d'une arnaque, tout simplement, je ne trouve pas de forums où l'on parle de cette opération, mais des amis ayant participé eux-aussi à l'opération n'ont jamais reçu de réponse de TLC ou de quelconque billets d'avion.
Pour ma part, après avoir téléphoné et patienté de long mois, je les appelle ce matin et il me dise alors que je n'ai reçu aucun courrier car mon offre n'était pas valide car ECOUTEZ BIEN je n'ai pas répondu à leur courrier dans les quinze jours... je l'ai fait au bout de 23 jours.... Il me dise m'avoir envoyé un courrier qui a du se perdre..
J'ai bien envoyé les documents nécessaires (facture d'achat etc)...... puis j'ai recu un courrier de leur part 3 à 4 mois plus tard me demandant de renvoyer un document avec mes différents choix de destinations....Je les contacte par mail il y a 6 mois.... toujours rien....Je les appelle ce matin... et il me dise qu'à 5 jours près mon dossier n'est pas valide....
FRANCHEMENT TOSHIBA vous me verrez plus comme client alors que j'achête deux pc portables minimum par an... Bien joué TLC MARKETING... Vraiment bien joué...
VOILA JUSTE POUR INFOS

TLC Marketing sont des escrocs, des arnaqueurs, des voleurs !!!
J'ai acheté un ordinateur Toshiba A CAUSE de l'offre TLC Marketing !
TARIF DES TAXES : 122.33 EUROS pour un billet vers l'Espagne qui en vaut 126 € en allant sur le premier site !!!
Si on ajoute le prix de tous les timbres et enveloppes envoyés, leur billet "offert" coûte plus cher que le billet standard !!!
L'histoire...
1°) J'achète le PC, j'envoie toutes les preuves d'achat qu'il me demande :
le coupon rempli + une partie de l'emballage avec le code barre + le ticket de caisse + enveloppe réponse timbrée
2°) J'ai choisi deux destinations aux Etats-Unis et une en Europe car c'est obligatoire.
Pas de problème, c'est très probablement parce qu'ils ont un minimum de billets vers les US et tout le reste en Europe.
3°) Bref, j'ai suivi toutes les procédures en respectant tous leurs délais serrés au possible pour invalider un maximum de dossier !
Je reçois enfin la réponse... destination Espagne, OK... et en rouge, TARIF DES TAXES : 122.33 EUROS !!!
Je cherche sur internet la même chose et le premier site donne 126 € avec la liberté de choisir les dates, la compagnie, l'heure, ...
4°) Voilà comment TLC Marketing fait du marketing, en arnaquant les gens avec des publicités mensongères !!!
Certes on achète pas un produit uniquement pour l'offre, mais quand a le choix, l'offre peut aider à choisir bien que là ce soit une arnaque scandaleuse.
Ils sont rémunérés par Toshiba pour monter une arnaque qui fait vendre, voilà le travail de TLC Marketing !!!
D'ailleurs Bbrimbelle est sans doute là à poster sur le forum pour faire perdurer l'arnaque !

ben moi je suis allé à New York avec une offre de Toshiba...😊
c'était en 2009 je crois, pour l'achat d'un PC Toshiba, on pouvait choisir 3 destinations aux USA ou en Europe, sans contrainte. J'ai évidemment pris Washington, Boston et New York. J'ai renvoyé le courrier dans les 15 jours, comme demandé. J'ai donc eu 1 vol Paris/Londres/New York sur British Airways en ne payant que les taxes...
Et pour la petite histoire, British Airways m'a surclassé en Premium Economy et m'a donné les Miles prévus....
Par contre, cette année j'avais vu l'offre, mais avec l'obligation de demander une ville européenne, cela ne m'a pas sembler intéressant. Delà à parler d'arnaque, je n'irais pas jusqu'à là, mais tu es sous le coup de la déception...

Bonjour
Non je ne suis pas de cette trempe.
Je suis une cliente satisfaite et qui le dit ce qui est rare de nos jours.
Sur les forums la plupart du temps on ne voit que des insatisfaits .
Moi je suis venue dire mon expérience positive parce que oui il y en a.
J ai eu l offre chez pion en achetant une montre.
Peut être suis je tombée sur la bonne personne pour le traitement de mon dossier.
Mais je suis patie a N'Y

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!

I’m planning a world trip and I’m looking for great tips on accommodation in the United States.
Do you have any good deals to share, please?
thanks
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?
Best,

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!
Laura

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!
