hommage aux chiens indiens
Qui se font sans cesse rabrouer, et jamais ne se rebellent, ils cherchent la compagnie des humains, mais ceux-ci font mine de leur lancer des pierres, ou leur jettent des pierres, ils s'en vont, tristes, et craintifs. Je sais que les indiens ont peu pour eux, mais ces chiens, réclament juste de l'attention. Certains indiens ont des chiens, des bergers allemands, des labradors ou autre, mais jamais leurs chiens, ils font donc leurs vies, par territoire et il n'y a que là que vous les verrez se battre, pour leur territoire. Sinon, j'ai vu dans une gare, un chien amener à un autre qui ne pouvait plus se déplacer un morceau de chapati.
Dans le jardin d'un temple, un chiot s'est fait attaquer par un singe, il a pleuré, des chiens ont accouru de tout azimutes, le singe est parti, tout les chiens se sont mis à hurlé à la mort, c'était impressionnant
voilà j'aime les chiens indiens
Quelques fautes de syntaxe et d'orthographe ( décidément ! ) mais un article original et HUMAIN , ce qui n'est pas courant . Ceci dit , c'est un peu le cas dans tous les pays pauvres . Avez vous remarqué qu'on ne voit pratiquement pas de chats non domestiques . Pourquoi ? Parce que dans les pays pauvres , pour survivre , les chiens mangent les chats , tout simplement .
Petite précision... il faut quand même s'en méfier. Surtout le soir quand ils traînent en bande. ils peuvent être agressifs. Et si vous passez en moto à côté d'eux quand ils sont en bande, ils risquent d'essayer de vous mordre la cheville! (c'est du vécu)
NON ça n'a rien a voir, si au lieu de vous occupez de la syntaxe, vous lisiez le contenu du texte. Dans les autres pays pauvres, les chiens sont beaucoup plus agressifs MR DUPONT !!!!!
bonjour
je n'ai jamais vécu ça et nous nous déplaçons essentiellement en moto, mais rarement la nuit, les indiens conduisent plein phare, mais je ne dis pas que ça ne peut pas arriver
P... de chiens 🏴☠️ Ils m'en ont ruiné des nuits ces clébards. A Varanasi, Calcutta, Udaipur, Delhi, ... partout quoi !!!
J'suis pas copain avec les chiens. Na !
Mais si vous les aimez (moi c'est en ragoût - mais les goûts et les couleurs ça se discutent/disputent) allez faire une recherche sur Google avec les termes "slum dogs of India Eloise Leyden" et "dogs of India Brett Cole"
J'aime pas les chiens mais comme ils font partie du paysage indien - un peu moins là où il y a des Musulmans - je les prends en photo.
PS j'aurais préféré un titre comme "Dommage les chiens indiens" 😮

C'est ton droit de ne pas aimer les chiens, mais pour moi les gens qui n'aiment pas les animaux en général n'aiment pas les humains non plus, moi aussi ils m'ont empêché de dormir plus d'une fois, mais comme tu dis ils font partie de l'Inde, les photos que tu as faites rejoignent ce que je dis lorsqu'ils s'occupent de chiens, ce sont des chiens de race, ce que je dit c'est que partout ailleurs, les chiens des rues n'ont pas cette attitude, et deviennent agressifs, ce que je trouve un juste retour des choses.
C'est le coté Jaïn , bishnoi, et végétarien que j'aime en Inde
J'aime particulièrement la photo du chien rose "holifiée"; j'aurais bien voulu que celui qui m'a bouffé le mollet il y a 2 ans ait eu, au moins, la gentillesse d'avoir le même look.
Note, ça ne m'aurait pas évité les 5 injections anti rabiques et les quelques mois de trouille.
Tout ça pour dire que si je n'en veux absolument pas à cette pauvre bête mais bien aux indiens qui ne veulent pas gérer ce problème (les vacciner et les stériliser par exemple), de là à rendre hommage aux chiens indiens....
@shantival : Et puis, par pitié, faudrait arrêter l'éternel couplet sur les gens qui n'aiment pas les gens parce qu'ils n'aiment pas les bêtes, parce que moi, j'en connais un paquet qui n'aiment que les bêtes et détestent le genre humain et même...même des qui n'aiment ni les uns, ni les autres...et alors, où est le problème? Du moment qu'ils foutent la paix aux premiers comme aux seconds....ça serait déjà ça!

Monsieur Dupont, après avoir salué la grande humanité de l'auteur de ce post (sans avoir omis de déplorer la pauvreté de sa syntaxe-priez-pour-nous) avait fort justement souligné la cruauté des chiens qui mangeaient les chats...
Et moi je dis : c'est bien beau tout ça, mais que dire des matous indiens qui s'attaquent sans vergogne aux pauvres rats..indiens de surcroît...alors? plus personne ne s'indigne là, c'est le grand silence....et j'en passe et des meilleurs...
Je propose donc d'ouvrir un nouveau sujet :
Hommage aux cafards indiens, victimes de la gloutonnerie des rats de même nationalité, eux-mêmes victimes des...etc, etc, etc.
C'est le coté Jaïn , bishnoi, et végétarien que j'aime en Inde
Le cote "hippie" quoi. 🤪
Perso, j'ai failli me faire attaquer par une bande d'une 10aine de chiens en marchant sur Elliott Beach a Chennai. Tres peu pour moi les chiens indiens.
Et c'est la meme chose au Nepal.
Et dire que les indiens/nepalais n'aiment pas les chiens, c'est un peu completement faux. Vu qu'ils les fetent a differents festival.
(kukur tihar/khicha puja a Kathmandu).
t'as faillis te faire attaquer par une bande de chiens, mais en Amérique du Sud t'aurais pas faillis!!!!! ce qui prouve qu'ils méritent bien un hommage

Nous sommes au moins deux alors.
J'ai souvent trouvé qu'il ne fait pas bon être chien en Inde , ni animal , d'une façon générale ( les vaches mises à part)
Mais les chiens indiens m'ont réconciliée avec les chiens .
"La vie est un voyage qui se vit au présent ou jamais ...."
bonjour,
cela fait 25 voyages que je fais en Inde et le chien indien fait partie du paysage...je ne les recherche pas, mais je ne les crains pas non plus.....quand je les observe, je me dis que lorsqu'ils arrivent adultes, c'est qu'ils ont ete costauds, survivants et les plus forts....ils ne sont pas consideres, souvent maltraites....mais ils ont une vie de chien, libres
cette année, j'ai rencontré pour la première fois dans tous ces voyages, une européenne, une anglaise, parlant français, retraitée en Espagne et passant 6 mois par an en Inde, justement par amour des chiens indiens....elle réside en Orissa, à Puri et à gopalpur on sea. elle connait chaque chien de chaque block, car ils vivent en bande et ont un territoire... elle les soigne, elle achete un medicament pour les traiter contre les parasitoses qui sont leur première cause de maladie, de souffrance, cela s'appelle IVERMECTIN, le comprimé coute environ 10 roupies, il en faut au moins 3 par chien, mais ça marche bien....apres elle a en permanence dans son sac, de la poudre genre ddt contre la gale, et quand elle approche un chien, hop, un petit coup de bombe.....un vrai sacerdoce, mais, il en faut des personnes comme ça, cela nous reconcilie avec le genre humain, il y a une autre femme a mamallapuram qui s'occupe des chiens....et ce ne sont pas des femmes frustrées......c'est vrai que c'est pénible d'avoir en pleine nuit des aboiements de chiens qui se répondent et comme les indiens ne sont pas trés sensibles aux bruits, personne ne dit rien....l'Inde est bruyante, les indiens sont bruyants et les chiens indiens de même....mais tout ça, c'est mental, si on décide que ce n'est pas grave, c'est extrèmement supportable.....je suis partie une fois avec des amis qui ne les supportaient pas les bruits et les chiens, eh, bien, c'était toujours sous leur fenetre qu'ils venaient aboyer.....et qu'ils mettaient la musique a fond....
moi, je les aime bien ces galéreux de chiens beiges......
BONJOUR
C'est super ces gens qui s'investissent, j'ai vu à Varanasi une Italienne qui nourrissait les chiens sur les Ghates, mais vous avez raison, les chiens indiens ont cette chance fabuleuse par rapport à la plus part des chiens européens, c'est qu'ils sont LIBRES
BON VOYAGE
C'est vrai, ils sont libres . Seulement ils ont besoin de coups de mains pour rester libres en à peu près bon état .
J'ai rencontré à Sarnath et à Dharamsala des associations de vétérinaires qui s'occupent de les stériliser et vacciner les chiots puis les reconduisent où ils les avaient trouvés .
Beucoup de chiens se retrouvent blessés par les voitures . Ces vétérinaires s'occupent aussi de les soigner s'ils les croisent ou si quelqu'un les avertit . Mais ces initiatives restent rares et beaucoup meurent de leurs blessures .

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!

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

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