VoyageForum is back!

I’m also wondering how VF could’ve shut down its site while Le Routard kept going... VF was so much more lively... Well, it was, but it’ll bounce back little by little! :)

Because it’s no longer dependent on advertising. The GDR, on the other hand, generates substantial revenue from its guidebook sales.
Having been around longer, they probably had a small financial cushion.I don’t know if that was the case for them, but many French companies benefited from the "whatever it takes" policy.
Whatever it costs us.

Yes, exactly—my last comment was referring specifically to the GDRoutard.

hello everyone!
what a pleasure to be back on my favorite forum... and to see some of you who’ve become friends!
It’s also nice to know that some have moved on (old-timers like me).
For now, I’m still traveling!
I just got back from a month in southern Morocco, where I was lucky enough to discover lakes in the desert!
This year, I celebrated my 70th birthday in a bolong in the Saloum Delta with the best guide possible: Pierre Diouf.
And most of all, I took a magnificent cruise on the Bou el Mogdab along the Senegal River, from Saint-Louis to Podor!
So happy to be back with you all!
