bonjour à tous,
je voulais vous faire profiter de mon experience avec go voyages. cela vous evitera peut etre 6 mois de foutage de gueule.
voilà j'ai acheté un vol chez go voyages debut mai pour un montant de 800€ et j'ai du l'annuler une semaine avant le depart pour raisons medicales. ayant souscrit 2 assurances (carte bleue + l'assurance "l'europeenne" proposée sur leur site), je pensais naivement me faire rembourser (c'etait la 1ere fois ke j'annulais un voyage). alors 1er conseil, si vous payez avec carte bleue, economisez 25 ou 30€ de souscription à l'europeenne d'assurances, c une arnaque! apres avoir rempli leur dossier (certif medical et tt le reste) et envoyé en LRAR, ils m'ont simplement repondu avoir "classer mon dossier sans suite" sans aucune explications et m'ont conseillé de me rapprocher de SPB (assurance visa).
ce que j'ai fait, SPB valide mon dossier, ne manque qu'une piece, la facture des frais d'annulation, cela leur permet de voir que je ne suis pas parti, que j'ai annulé avt la date de depart et le montant des frais d'annulation.
c là ke commence le foutage de gueule, j'ai du attendre 6 mois et prendre un avocat pour obtenir cette facture! je regrette preske meme à la fin de ne pas etre allé jusk'au proces, ca m'aurait peut etre permis de comprendre pkoi ils ont fait preuve d'un tel mepris du client.
kdo pr les lecteurs de ce forum ki vous fera gagner qques mois: le n° de tel. du service compta de go voyages: 01 53 404 416
cependant le meilleur conseil ke je puisse vous donner est de ne pas acheter de vol sur leur site car en cas d'annulation pr un click d'achat d'un 1/10 de sec. vous en avez pr 6 mois de galere.
bonjour yasmine,
merci pour ton message d'encouragement
concernant le langage sms, chacun fera son opinion sur la lisibilité du message mais je ne pense pas avoir abusé d'abréviations (heritées de la fac). enfin si j'ai pris le temps de poster ce message, c pour faire economiser le prix de l'assurance à tous ceux qui achetent un billet chez go voyages avec une carte visa et de communiquer un n° de tel. bien utile à la fin et que seul mon avocat a réussi à obtenir, il permettra à ceux qui sont en litige avec go voyages de gagner qques mois.

Visa Premier ; celles qui comprennent l'assurance annulation.
Ce type d'assurance est toujours difficile à faire jouer, très aléatoire ; à votre place j'aurais plutôt récupéré les taxes en annulant les billets.
C'est la deuxième fois que je lis sur ce forum que Visa a refusé de rembourser des billets d'avion pour une raison quelconque.
L'an dernier, Aloha fait faillite, nous avions réservé notre vol vers Hawai'i via un grossiste internet (le nom m'échappe mais un grossiste style Orbitz, Kayak ou autre) et nous avons payé avec notre carte Visa. Nous avons demandé au grossiste soit un remboursement soit de nous placer sur d'autres vols. Réponse négative. J'ai alors fait une demande de remboursement auprès de Visa, je leur ai envoyé le dossier complet et un mois plus tard, plein remboursement.
Je me rappelle en avoir parlé à un intervenant sur Voyage Forum ayant eu le même problème et refus de la part de Visa France. Nous n'avions alors qu'une simple carte Visa.
Les règles ne seraient pas les mêmes chez Visa selon le pays??
exact, je possede une carte visa premier. je me suis peut-etre mal exprimé mais elle a tres bien fonctionné. ils m'ont remboursé dès que je leur ai transmis la facture d'annulation. c go voyages qui a mis 6 mois à m'envoyer cette facture , je ne suis pas rentré ds les details mais apres un silence de 3 mois à mes mails , ils ont encore fait durer le plaisir 3 mois avec mon avocate en pretextant que la responsable du dossier n'etait pas là, en envoyant des factures avec une mauvaise date..... et franchement je n'ai tjs pas compris, comment un voyagiste si connu pouvait faire preuve d'un tel mepris du client, surtout que ca ne leur coutait rien, je ne faisais meme pas jouer leur assurance!
et franchement je n'ai tjs pas compris, comment un voyagiste si connu pouvait faire preuve d'un tel mepris du client, surtout que ca ne leur coutait rien, je ne faisais meme pas jouer leur assurance!
Bonjour ,
Je viens de lire ton histoire avec Go voyages , en effet comme tu dis en plus tu faisais pas jouer leur assurance pas très correct du tout de leur part .
@+ , Marco .
On aura jamais assez de temps pour tout ce qu'on veut découvrir et comprendre dans nos voyages qu'on se le dise , Amis voyageurs .

J'espère que ce n'est pas une agrégation de français que vous préparez à la "fac"😉

C'est vrai que GO voyage semble être de très mauvaise foi dans cette histoire. Cependant, il faut savoir qu'on ne peut pas faire jouer deux assurance pour 1 seul problème donc dés le départ, c'était une erreur de prendre l'assurance GO voyage en complément de l'assurance Visa Premier.

Bonjour,
Moi aussi TRES MAUVAISE EXPERIENCE AVEC GO VOYAGES!
je voudrais vous faire part de mon expérience absolument catastrophique avec l'agence Go Voyages.
Je suis partie avec une amie pour Cuba la 14 mars 2009; billets pris via Go Voyage, avec notamment une connexion à Montréal pour aller à la Havane (réf dossier 4805416 et 4805418).
A l'aller, notre temps de connexion à Montréal était d'une heure seulement entre l'atterrissage de l'avion et le départ du suivant. Évidemment, nous avons raté l'avion pour La Havane, le guichet était même fermé lorsque nous sommes arrivées pour le check in puisque les guichets ferment une heure avant le décollage (c'est écrit sur le règlement de la compagnie). Le temps de descendre de notre avion et de récupérer nos bagages, il nous était évidemment impossible d'attraper notre avion pour La Havane.
Nous voici donc à Montréal au mois de mars, habillées comme pour aller sous les tropiques, tard le soir. La compagnie qui devait nous emmener à La Havane nous a annoncé un avion 36 heures plus tard!
C'est à dire que nous avons dû passer 2 nuits à Montréal! Aucune compagnie ne voulait nous prendre en charge, tout le monde rejetant la responsabilité sur le VOYAGISTE INCOMPETENT qui avait vendu ce voyage, donc Go Voyages.
Nous voilà avec les dépenses de 2 nuits à Montréal (et donc 2 jours de vacances en moins à Cuba); nous constatons que le billet retour est prévu sur le même modèle. Arrivées à Cuba, nous nous empressons d'envoyer des mails à Go Voyages pour leur demander de modifier nos billets. Pas de réponse d'abord, feinte d'incompréhension, nous devons demander à nos parents restés en France d'appeler Go Voyages... Tout cela sans succès, Go Voyage fait la sourde oreille et prétend que tout va bien!!!
Nous voilà à présent avec des frais supplémentaires de connexions internet fréquentes (pas facile à Cuba!!!) et téléphoniques pour rien!
FInalement, nous faisons le siège d'Air France à La Havane qui nous prend en pitié et accepte de nous faire voyager gracieusement sur un de ses vols qui ne comprend pas de connexion impossible.
Chose inouie: depuis PLUS D'UN AN maintenant nous demandons à Go Voyages de s'expliquer sur cette réservation stupide et nous nous faisons balloter. Ils ne répondent pas, et lorsqu'ils répondent, ils ne disent rien, si ce n'est que le dossier est en cours d'étude.
Nous avons eu des frais (hôtel au Canada, frais de connexion et téléphone depuis Cuba) et un préjudice moral important (personne n'aime marcher 2 jours dans la neige lorsqu'il a prévu d'être en vacances sous les tropiques ni passer une heure par jour dans un cyber café.) Nous réclamons en vain une prise en compte de ces préjudices...
GO VOYAGE, un voyagiste A EVITER!
Je viens me greffer à votre discution car je suis aussi très mécontente de Go Voyages
qui propose sur son site une assurance annulation " europénne assurance" toutes causes (pack multirisques)
Obligée d'annuler le matin du 28 février, mon vol prévu le 1er mars pour Phnom Penh; (cause maison inondée suite tempête Xynthia) annulation résultant d'un évènement aléatoire. L'assurance vient de refuser le remboursement du billet et classer mon dossier en prétextant que la cause de catastrophe naturelle ayant occasionnée mon annulation n'était pas prise en charge.
En lisant attentivement les 22 pages de leur contrat vous pouvez vous apercevoir que les clauses d'exclusion sont tellement nombreuses qu'ils ne doivent pas se ruiner en
remboursement . L'assurance de Go voyages présentée comme (je cite): une assurance annulation révolutionnaire est une véritable arnaque.
LE PACK MULTIRISQUE
Il regroupe les garanties ANNULATION et ASSISTANCE ; en les achetant ensemble, vous bénéficiez de 10 € de réduction et de 100 € de compensation si vous n'êtes pas indemnisé en 72 heures* !
Une garantie annulation révolutionnaire :
Une assurance annulation " Toutes Causes "
Pour toutes les causes qui ne sont pas de votre fait, par exemple :
- Vous n'avez plus personne pour garder votre animal de compagnie ou votre appartement.
- Vous n'avez plus personne pour vous accueillir à destination.
- Vos congés sont refusés.
- Etc...
Je ne suis pas spécialiste des assurances, mais il me semble que le statut de "catastrophe naturelle" change les choses, et peut-être ici vous pénalise.

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.
Hi everyone, fellow travelers!
I’m looking for anyone who’s in Kyoto or planning to visit Nishiki Market! Here’s the thing: during our trip there in April, we discovered a jewelry artisan (highly recommended!) on the left when exiting through the west exit of Nishiki Market (which is a long covered east-west street). I bought a piece of jewelry for my daughter there, but she lost it. I’d love to buy her another one! In the photo, it’s the shop with the yellow awning to the right of the restaurant with the blue awning, "Sushi Sakai." Would any kind soul be willing to get the shop’s name, email, or phone number for me? Despite my Google/AI searches, it’s nowhere to be found. A thousand thanks to whoever can help me out! Wishing you all great vacations!
Sabrina
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! 😊

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.
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!
Thank you in advance for your participation! Below is our address. If you’d like us to write back, feel free to leave your address on a corner of the postcard! 😊

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?

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.
