A must-attend event for all adventure and discovery enthusiasts: My Atlas will be back at Occ'ygène in Toulouse from March 26 to 28, 2026! Like last year, we’ll be partners of the Les Rencontres Voyageurs space, a place for authentic exchanges between globetrotters, adventurers, and dreamers of distant lands.
This year, a great new addition: Cimalp will join us throughout the conferences and activities to share their passion for the outdoors and high-quality gear.
Over these three inspiring days, the program includes: themed conferences (responsible travel, off-the-beaten-path destinations, van life road trips...), meet-ups with inspiring travelers, masterclasses (travel video, nomadic cooking), the famous travelers’ quiz, and a friendly atmosphere around the bivouac. The perfect opportunity to plan your next getaways, swap practical tips, and discover the latest trends in itinerant travel.
Whether you're into camper vans, hiking, or long-term travel, come find us at MEETT (Toulouse Exhibition Park) for three days under the banner of adventure and sharing!
Itinérance Festival in Cornimont, Vosges, will return from April 24 to 26, 2026. The success of the 2025 edition confirmed the desire to continue the adventure.
Dedicated to human-powered travel, this year’s festival will feature a smaller but highly complementary lineup of speakers. A single guest may discuss bike or foot journeys, long-distance trekking across major European or remote mountain ranges, or even mountaineering. The sea will also be a key theme.
Most speakers are travel writers, and storytelling will take center stage—especially with Pierre Herant, a sought-after author among publishers. Among the standout topics, resilience in the face of illness will be explored through Alexandra Husta’s epic cycling journeys. Extreme travel will also be highlighted, driven by Blandine Dupuis’s physical and moral commitment. Hugo Faivre is biking across France to meet bears in the Pyrenees. Luc Devors will delve into the bonds formed with companions during demanding projects, while Julien Humbert will discuss the challenges of leaving home and being away for years. Sailors Gilles Jaulet will share his sailing experiences, and Guy Lecointre will recount his solo sea-kayak expedition to Cape Horn with total autonomy. All speakers will also share their solo travel experiences.
A special family session on Friday afternoon will let kids ask questions and chat freely with the speakers. Photographic exhibitions will round out the program, including one on Vosges mountain wildlife by a Cornimont native, whose close connection with wild animals is striking.
True to the 2025 edition, sunrise hikes will return on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, to the town’s high points. These unique moments will combine landscape discovery—guided by a local expert—with readings from works by attending travel writers.
Cornimont’s town hall will provide its spacious polyactivity center, and admission will remain free, as in 2025. The association Cook’ Events Services, led by Nadège Perrier, will run the bar and catering, with proceeds supporting initiatives for people with disabilities.
Whether scaling rock faces, thriving on trails, hitting the road, or sailing the seas, the festival’s celebration of travel reminds us that age is never a barrier to exploring our world.

For those interested, here are the details:
Echoes Of A Proud Nation Pow-Wow – Renewing Our Spirits Through The Power Of The Drum
Bring hats and water, as there isn’t much shade on the site.....
But it’s definitely worth checking out 😛
Generous cyclists at the téléthon
Sure, it’s not a bike trip in the traditional sense—
more like a "journey around my room" and rock around the clocks (in Faverges)
on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
Just a way to take part in the téléthon, add my little stone to the building, and... get the bikes out.
No big trips, but a peek at the Viuz church (a remarkable Romanesque church) and the *hourd* in Faverges.
Plus, it’s on the route of the Seyssel-Annecy bike path: Faverges–Albertville–Grenoble–Valence.
Hello everyone, the program for the Itinérance Travel Festival in Cornimont is finalized.

The Abruzzo region
Wildlife of the Vosges

Admission is free.

Come on, let’s give a little shout-out to this stunning country that desperately needs more tourists...
Soon, the Medayin Festival of Ancient Cities in December.
It happens every year... It rotates between Ouadane, Tichitt, Oualata, and Chinguetti, where it’ll be this year...
Access is easy by vehicle, and it’s a gorgeous area... Don’t hesitate to ask if you’ve got questions about the region...
Ascension is the time for the P'tits Gros, the BMH & Co association is organizing a gathering for off-road travel lovers, from 4x4s to vans and heavy-duty trucks. On the first day, arrival at the bivouac means first meetings and discussions about travel, vehicle conversions, and always a bit of mechanics. Over the following days, everyone can test their vehicle on an evolution course, and it all wraps up with our association's general assembly followed by a meal.

I’ll be in Vienna from June 6th to 9th, 2024, and I’m looking for a classical music concert at a reasonable price (under 50 €). My searches haven’t turned up anything… If you’ve got any ideas…
Hi, does anyone know what this is about, what the usual hours are, and how much time we’d spend there on average with two kids aged 10 and 13?
We checked the website, but it’s confusing... Rodeo, singers, meals, carnival?
And it looks like the dates only run from early March to late March, but we’ll be there in early April.
The Cyclo Camping International association, which brings together and informs bike travelers, is organizing a bike travel festival on February 8–9, 2025, in Le Mans.
If you're the author of a book related to bike travel and you'd like to attend the festival, don't hesitate to contact me by replying to this message.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

for those interested in Mongolia in winter and more specifically the 1000 Camels Festival in the Gobi, it’s now held in the town of Dalanzadgad, which you can reach by bus from the capital (2 daily buses, about 14 hours journey). It takes place in early February, February 1-3. (It used to be held in the small village of Bulgan, lost in the middle of the Gobi.)
Hi everyone, it’s with a little pang in my heart that I’m back here chatting after four long years away.
In May 2025, the village of Cornimont is organizing a travel festival called Itinérance. I’m sharing the two communication documents, knowing that we’re also looking for speakers. We already have quite a few lined up. We’re not just looking for technically polished films with stunning drone footage. We’re looking for people who want to share their passion, whether it’s a trip around their department or a journey around the world.
ITINERANCE PRESS RELEASE – October 2024
Itinérance, the travel festival, from your doorstep to the ends of the Earth First edition, May 8–11, 2025, Polyactivity Center in Cornimont (Vosges)
What could be a more beautiful journey than one that loops right from your doorstep, on foot or by bike, in the spirit of the ancient pilgrims of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle?
For this first edition, Itinérance aims to celebrate local travel, in France and nearby regions, while also making room for distant expeditions that require motorized transport.
Talks, photo exhibitions, personal stories, films... will highlight the harmony with nature, the joy of unexpected encounters along the trail or road, the lightness of minimalist logistics, and the discovery of landscapes in all their simplicity and authenticity.
Cornimont is an hour’s bike ride from Remiremont train station via the Voie Verte, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges, in the Hautes-Vosges area. A bus line also connects Remiremont train station to the center of Cornimont.

Belle expo de photos de Hakim Hathi
231 rue du faubourg st Antoine
Photos prises en Guinée, mines d or
Elles sont saisissantes, très belles, et témoignent de la dificulte des conditions d extraction, et de la force de vie de ces travailleurs.
Vaut le détour.
Hakim Hathi est sur place et discute volontiers de son travail et de son contact avec les guinéens.
Sinon travail est visible sur instagram.
ASIEXPOorganise pour vous, chaque année, le festival du court et long métrage sur le thème de l'Asie. Autour de cela sont organisés une dizaine d'événements : du thé concert afghan à la soirée de cinéma japonais, en passant par un stage d'initiation à la danse indienne ...
Le site d'Hégra sera officiellement ré-ouvert au publique en octobre 2020, cependant la Royal Commission d'AlUla organise de nouveau cette année le festival de "Winter in Tantora" du 19 décembre au 7 mars afin de pouvoir visiter Mada'in Saleh, les tombes de Dedan et les alentours magnifiques: experiencealula.com/...t/Pages/default.aspx
nous envisageons de de partir au Rajasthan en mars prochain et j'ai vu que la fête de Holi était le 28 et 29 mars. Nous voyagerons avec un chauffeur.
comme nous faisons un périple dans le Rajasthan et donc que le temps nous est compté, je me demandais si cela valait vraiment la peine de participer à cette fête alors que tous les sites et les boutiques seront fermés ce jour-là. Nous serions à ce moment-là à Udaipur.
donc ma question est : Est-ce vraiment incontournable ?
dans l'attente de vos avis et retours d'expérience, je vous souhaite à tous une bonne journée.
C’est le cœur lourd que nous vous partageons cette triste nouvelle. Solidays ne (ré)enchantera pas le monde cette année. Et pourtant, tout allait si bien. L’affiche était belle et le record de fréquentation sur le point d’être battu. Mais voilà, le rideau s’est baissé, douchant nos derniers espoirs. Sans oublier les 3 millions d’euros de résultat attendus qui vont disparaître.
Cet événement, nous l’attendions tous avec impatience pour partager le « plaisir d’être utile » et le « plaisir d’être ensemble ». C’est pourquoi, même éparpillée et confinée, l’équipe de Solidarité Sida s’est montrée plus active que jamais pour faire face à cette crise inédite et trouver des solutions.
L’idée du report début septembre, dans un premier temps privilégiée, a dû être abandonnée devant les trop nombreuses incertitudes qui subsistaient. La décision d’annuler le festival est l’une des plus difficiles que nous ayons eue à prendre. Elle plonge Solidarité Sida dans une réalité brutale. 3 millions d’euros de résultat attendus vont disparaître. Dès lors, comment financer les nombreux programmes d’aide aux malades et de prévention menés ou soutenus grâce à Solidays ?
L’appel à la mobilisation est lancé notamment auprès des fidèles partenaires publics et privés du festival. Dès début mai, bien sûr, ceux qui souhaiteront se faire rembourser pourront en faire la demande. Face à la situation, peut-être que certains choisiront de ne pas le faire.
À Solidarité Sida, l’urgence et l’adversité font partie de notre quotidien. Nous en avons l’habitude. Mais là, aujourd’hui, demain, nous allons avoir besoin de votre aide si l’on veut espérer des lendemains plus joyeux et solidaires.
Bonjour à tous,
Je tente désespérément de créer un compte sur le site de Flash Seats, mais mes données ne sont pas recevables.
J'habite l'Île de la Réunion et le numéro de téléphone avec indicatif 262 ne passe pas, et dans la case "State/Province" je n'ai aucun choix.
A partir ces refus, je suis dans l'impossibilité de créer un compte et par conséquent, de recevoir des billets pour des matchs de baseball ou de basket.
Si quelqu'un connait le moyen de contourner ces bugs, je suis preneur.
D'avance, merci à ceux qui prendraient un peu de temps pour mon mini problème.
Avis aux amoureux du Tibet
Le 26 ème FICA de Vesoul consacre un important focus sur le cinema tibetain, une premiere en France
- L'intégrale des films de Pema Tsefen
un seul est sorti en salle ''le berger tibétain ''un magnifique film en noir
Plusieurs de ses films ont eté primés dans des festivals internationaux
- autres réalisateurs : Southas Gyal , Ala Chang
Nous serons dans la région d’Agra en mars. Je m’interroge quant à la ville qui nous permettra de fêter Holi de manière pas trop chaotique.
Je pensais aller à Varanassi mais j’ai lu qu’il y avait beaucoup d’hommes alcoolisés et que l’ambiance n’était donc pas « bon enfant ».
Orccha serait peut-être une bonne alternative ?...
Les tours du monde peuvent aussi être gastronomiques
Les Bahamas et
avec la découverte de produits régionaux venus de toute la planète.
Tout au long des trois jours de FestiVitas, une quinzaine de conférences dédiées à l'Afrique sont inscrites au programme.
Au-delà de ce continent, ce sont des offices du tourisme du monde entier (et particulièrement d'Asie et d'Amérique du Sud) qui seront à Mulhouse, pour permettre d'effectuer un tour du monde en quelques heures.
On notera la présence, pour la première fois, des offices du tourisme des Bahamas et des Seychelles et d'un coup de projecteur sur les destinations (Valence, Zadar...) desservies depuis quelques mois par les vols en partance de l'EuroAirport de Bâle Mulhouse.
Le tourisme de proximité n'est pas oublié avec 70 exposants présentant des idées de sorties régionales.
La pêche à l'honneur
Le salon se présente aussi par une déclinaison d'activités. Une quinzaine d'exposants permettront de découvrir des sports d'extérieur comme le canoë-kayak, le parachutisme, la voile etc. On annonce aussi un mur d'escalade et un practice de golf.
La grosse nouveauté, toutefois, sera la réalisation d'un espace de 1 000 m 2 entièrement consacré à la pêche de loisirs avec une trentaine d'exposants, des simulateurs de pêche, des bassins avec des poissons et diverses expositions et animations.
Bière et vins en vedette
Côté gastronomie, c'est la bière qui sera à l'honneur cette année. La brasserie de Lutterbach créera une bière spéciale (on l'annonce ambrée et au goût d'agrumes) pour le salon. L'offre de vins a été renforcée avec une cinquantaine d'exposants et des nouveautés venues du Roussillon, du Bordelais et du Languedoc. Plusieurs sommeliers seront présents, dont Frédéric Voné qui proposera des ateliers du goût. Des apéritifs commentés autour du champagne (sur réservation) sont aussi au programme.
Restaurants gastronomiques
Les deux pôles de FestiVitas se retrouvent aussi lorsque la gastronomie permet de voyager. La présentation de spécialités culinaires éthiopiennes et sénégalaises est attendue, ainsi que des produits typiques d'Italie, de Grèce ou de Belgique.
Deux restaurants gastronomiques proposeront leurs menus tout au long de FestiVitas qui, pour cette nouvelle édition, voit une nouveauté avec l'ouverture d'un bar à vins et tapas.
Ph.P. Parc des expositions, 120, rue Lefebvre, Mulhouse. Salon FestiVitas : vendredi 31 janvier et samedi 1 er février, de 10 h à 20 h (fermeture voyages à 20 h, fermeture secteur vins et saveurs à 21 h).Dimanche 2 février, accès de 10 h à 17 h 30 (fermeture de tous les secteurs à 18 h 30).Tarif : 6 € (comprenant un verre de dégustation), gratuit pour les moins de 15 ans.
