Bonjour,
Où aller? À Virginia beach ou Myrtle beach? Laquelle de ces deux destinations est la plus éloignée de Montréal? Sont-elles loin l'une de l'autre?
Merci😉

Bonsoir,
Et si des fois tu regardais une carte du coin ??

Bonjour,
Myrtle Beach est beaucoup plus loin de Montréal que Virginia Beach.
Il y a la Caroline du nord qui sépare les deux. Environ 6 heures de route de plus dépendemment de ton moyen de transport et des arrêts que vous effectuez.
Personnellement, je préfère Myrtle Beach car nous y faisons du camping et ils sont directement sur la plage. La mer est plus chaude. Pour le reste, ça se compare. Je préfère aussi les citoyens de Myrtle Beach, ils sont plus courtois, moins agressifs. Mais ça, c'est une opinion personnelle.
Je suis allée à Myrtle, une dizaine de fois. Quant à Virginia, j'y suis allée 2 fois. La dernière fois, nous avons conclu que les 20 heures de route pour Myrtle en valaient vraiment la peine.
Au plaisir Bulledo

Je connais un autre endroit entre Virginia Beach et Myrtle Beach. C'est bcps plus calme et moins connu. Ca dépend vraiment des goûts.
Notre destination préféré est la Caroline du Nord (Crystal Coast) à 15 heures d'Ottawa avec les Outer Banks (plages déserte), ses phares et l'eau la plus chaude de l'est des États-Unis. 86 degrée F fin juillet près de Morehead City. Le golf Stream passe à quelques km de la plage. Des tortues viennent pondrent entre mai et juil. sur la plage (Cool!) et on peut faire une croisère de catamaran pour voir les dauphins (à Beaufort). Beaucoup de pélicans et de la pêche en haute mer pour les mordus.
De bon restaurants (Morehead City est un port de pêche), bcps de condos à louer sur la plage et quelques hôtels. Mais l'endroit est souvent réservé d'avance et les prix similaires aux deux autres.
J'ai ajouté une carte montrant Virginia Beach, Atlantic Beach et Myrtle Beach.

Je dirais que ça dépend de ce que tu as envie de faire comme kilométrage!!!
Car effectivement que les deux villes semblent pareilles, de ce que j'ai vu sur le net Myrtle Beach est plus dispendieux car c'est le paradis des golfeurs!
Il y a de quoi de très bien à Virginia Beach, c'est d'ailleurs notre destination pour nos vacances estivales avec les enfants😉.
Je trouve les possibilités bien intéressantes.

Quelques voyages Sud
J'ai fais le trajet Swansboro-Ocracoke-Cape Hatteras-Nags Head-Roanoke Island en 2002. Beau trajet (long parfois). Belle visite des phares et des villages. Il est possible de remonter vers Virginia Beach en passant par Kitty Hawk. PetitCanard est juste quand elle mentionne qu'il y a beaucoup de choses a faire à Virginia Beach et que la distance peut se faire aisement en une journée.
Les imanquables de la région des Outer Banks.
Les phares: Cape Lookout, Ocracoke, Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island. La nature: Plages désertes des Outer Banks, Kayak de mer sur le Pamlico ou Albemarle Sound, dauphins sur la Newport River. Beaux villages: Beaufort, Hatteras, Kittyy Hawks (Nags Head est TRÈS commercial) La pêche en haute mer (Espadon, thon, requin): A partir de Morehead City, Ocracoke ou encore Hatteras Aquarium: Un a Atlantic Beach et l'autre sur l'ile de Roanoke (très bien tout les deux). MuséeL Le musée de la marine à Beaufort qui contient les restes du navire de Barbe Noire et le musée des frères Wrights à Kitty Hawk. La planche à Voile: Un incontournable - Canadian Hole à Oregon Inlet

Myrtle Beach est plus éloignée. Environ 6 1/2 heures de route en auto plus loin. Et aussi, c'est beaucoup plus intéressant à Myrtle Beach. On y mange un peu mieux (il reste que c'est au USA, mais enfin...)et la plage est plus belle, l'eau est plus chaude, il y a moins de vagues par contre. Il y a de très jolies places pour magasiner comme par exemple le ''Broadway at the beach'', à cet endroit tu trouves aussi de nombreux restos et des night clubs. À Virginia Beach, les restos sont dégoûtants, la bouffe n'est pas bonne et en plus c'est sale.
À Myrtle Beach, il n'y a pas de ''Boardwalk'' comme à Virginia Beach ou à Atlantic City par exemple. Quelques magasins plus ou moins beaux et c'est tout.
Nous y serons cet été.

Bonjour,
Nous avons comme objectif la virginie pour les vacances d'été avec les 3 enfants (12, 10 et 5 ans). Êtes-vous allés, avez-vous loué un chalet ou hôtel ?? Je sais pas trop pour le moment ou il serait bien de regarder. Mais nous voulons de la belles températures alors, je cherche pour pas trop cher 2 semaines sinon au moins 10 jours.
Merci de me donner des nouvelles

Nous avions bien aimé nos vacances en Virginie🙂 Nous avions loué un hôtel avec cuisinette directement sur la plage et nous avons trouvé ça génial.
Ce que nous avons par contre déploré, c'est que nous étions dans le coeur de Virginia Beach et le soir il y avait beaucoup de bruit dans les rues (musiciens de rues et fêtard) donc après 5 soirs à s'endormir aux petites heures de la nuit nous étions un peu tannés. Donc mon conseil vérifier comme il faut l'emplacement de l'hôtel que vous avez en vu. Il y a des coins plus tranquille que d'autres.
Les condos y sont très chers, donc mieux vaut se rabattre sur l'hôtel, mais avec une famille de 5 ce n'est pas facile de trouver abordable et confortable....😕
C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle cette année nous allons à la plage encore mais à Myrtle Beach car les condos y sont à profusions et à un prix plus que compétitif avec la Virginie. Comme nos enfants sont maintenant plus grand (14-10-10 ans), l'espace est un enjeux important dans le choix de l'hégergement🙂.
Mon mari dit toujours " mieux vaut partir moins longtemps mais être très confortable où nous allons que plus longtemps et tout pogné😉"

Salut Danduc,
Tu le sais, toi et moi aimons les Outer Banks ainsi que les Bogue Banks (là où il y a Atlantic Beach) mais tu as oublié un point d'intérêt très important: le Wright Bros Memorial à Nag's Head (Kitty Hawk) Il faut écouter la présentation sur ces pionniers de l'aviation faite par un colonel de l'armée américaine, fascinant jusqu'au bout. Pas tellement pour les enfants toutefois.
Bon, pour revenir à la question originale, choisir entre Virginia Beach et Myrtle Beach, aucune hésitation....Myrtle Beach because les terrains de camping sont sur la plage et c'est un plus pour moi qu'il y ait moins de vagues. Une tite vieille ça n'a plus tellement les jambes solides😕 !
Les villes de Virginia Beach et de Myrtle Beach, bof rien de spécial vraiment, quelques attractions touristiques, c'est selon ce que vous aimez.
Vive les Outer Banks!

Sophie, fouine en ligne sur 'vacation rentals Myrtle Beach', il y a tellement de villas à louer directement sur la plage. Un peu moins cher North Myrtle Beach et encore moins cher Calabash, en Caroline du Nord juste à la frontière de la Caroline du Sud.

J'ai une petite nuance sur ce commentaire. Chu pas certain que les condos soient moins chers que les hôtels... en passant par VRBO.COM, vous dealez directement avec le proprio au lieu de passer par l'administration de l'hôtel.
L'an dernier, une chambre avec cuisine complète directement sur la plage nous a couté 900 $ + TX via VRBO.COM alors que la même chambre pour la même période en passant par l'hôtel, c'était 1750 $. Le calcul est très simple. Aussi, le truc, c'est de réserver tôt, bien souvent, on profite des taux de l'année précédente avec un rabais pour "early booking".
Faut juste fouiller un peu.
Bonne vacances.

Bonjour, (toi qui prétends m'enseigner la politesse... tu pourrais dire bonjour avant d'incendier les autres !)
S'agissant d'une question datant de 5 ans, il me semble que la valeur ajoutée de ta réponse sous forme d'une autre question tangente le zéro absolu !
S'agissant de ton premier message sur ce forum, il te sera beaucoup pardonné, y compris pour ton orthographe bien approximative !
Reviens nous vite avec de vraies bonnes questions sur les mérites de Myrtle Beach. Vu que j'y suis allé il y a moins d'un an, je pourrai peut être te donner des réponses !
Si vous ne réussissez jamais rien du premier coup, n'essayez pas le parachutisme !
Bonjour Jadorry...
Je n'avais pas vu la date de cette discusion. 😊
Mais bon j'ai une petite question pour toi. Quelle est la meilleure plage des États-Unis? J'aimerai savoir aussi les villes que tu as visité et ton impression sur celle-ci? À oui cela serait mieux pour moi si elles sont proche de montréal...
merci à toi

Re-bonjour !
"Quelle est la meilleure plage des États-Unis ?" Aucune expérience de plage, ni aux USA ni ailleurs, car je les fuis vu l'ennui mortel que cela me cause ! J'en ai vu de loin en Floride, à San Diego, à Santa Monica, Cape Hatteras, et elle me paraissent toutes bien... quand on aime ça !!
J'aimerai savoir aussi les villes que tu as visité et ton impression sur celle-ci ? Vu la longueur de la liste, je préfère te dire que je suis allé dans au moins 20 ou 25 des Etats US, et sans conteste LA ville que je préfère est San Francisco. Ensuite il y a Chicago (j'y ai vu une plage sur le lac Michigan 😛) puis NYC, Boston, sans oublier Savannah GA et Charleston SC.

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!
Gertjan
