Tout est dans le titre.
POuvez-vous me dire ce qui apparait comme information en France a propos des manifestations d'hier au kurdistan turc? Ca m'interesse de savoir comment est traitee l'info par les medias dominants, j'y suis en ce moment, merci.
Un ami m'a dit: Le monde serait meilleur si chacun-e regardait dans l'assiette de l'autre et y rajoutait ce qu'il y manque
Bonjour Nemo,
Ca ne m'etonne qu'a moitie, entretemps j'ai regarde sur Yahoo, et il n'y a rien non plus.
Hier matin, des manifestations ont eu lieu dans toute la partie kurde de Turquie, suite a une declaration du chef incarcere du PKK. Il y a eu un mort a Dogubeyazit, et des blesses, dont des enfants. De nombreuses villes de l'Est de la Turquie etaient hier bloquees par la police, tous les magasins fermes, aujourd'hui egalement les magasins sont fermes, et les transports restreints. Voila pour ce que je sais.
Un ami m'a dit: Le monde serait meilleur si chacun-e regardait dans l'assiette de l'autre et y rajoutait ce qu'il y manque
On a vaguement parlé de la Turquie mais on montrait plus une manifestation de Kurdes à Liège (à vrai dire, c'est derniers ont envahi les locaux de la RTBF donc ils se devaient d'en parler).
Il y a bien un article dans le Monde d'hier (du moins dans la version électronique) "Turquie: un manifestant tué au cours d'un rassemblement kurde (police)"
Mais ils ne racontent pas grand chose. Ils disent surtout qu'ils ne sont sûrs de rien, que certaines manifestations ont dégénéré, qu'il y a eu un mort, que des cocktails molotov ont été lancé sur des écoles, que la police a dispersé tout le monde avec des canons à eau, et que 20 personnes ont été interpelées. Ils ne cessent de répéter qu'ils tiennent leurs infos de sources policières ou de l'agence de presse Anatolie, et une grande partie de leur article est rédigée au conditionnel.
En revanche je n'ai rien trouvé dans le Figaro ou Libé. Je ne sais pas si ils en ont parlé (oui oui, faire la une sur les histoires de coeur ou de c.. de DSK est nettement plus fondamental 😕)
Dans les dépêches de l'AFP 4 ou 5 en parlent. En particulier celle-ci datée de samedi 18:

DIYARBAKIR (Turquie), 18 oct 2008 (AFP) - De nombreuses personnes ont été interpellées par la police samedi lors de deux manifestations organisées dans le sud-est majoritairement kurde de la Turquie après des informations indiquant que le chef rebelle kurde emprisonné à vie Abdullah Öcalan avait été maltraité.
A Diyarbakir, la principale ville du sud-est anatolien, plus de 5.000 personnes se sont rassemblées dans le centre scandant des slogans en faveur d'Öcalan, a constaté un correspondant de l'AFP.
La police qui n'a pas réagi dans un premier temps, a chargé la foule lorsque des manifestants lui ont lancé des pierres.
Plusieurs dizaines de personnes ont été placées en garde à vue.
Dans un incident séparé à Yüksekova, petite ville reculée du sud-est proche des frontières irakienne et iranienne, la police a fait usage de gaz lacrymogène et de canons à eau pour disperser une foule de plusieurs milliers de personnes qui ont érigé des barricades sur la principale artère et incendié des pneus, a rapporté l'agence de presse Anatolie.
La police a procédé à de "nombreuses" interpellations, selon l'agence qui n'a pas donné de chiffre.
Les magasins n'ont pas ouvert samedi dans la ville, ajoute l'agence.
Déjà vendredi soir des heurts avaient éclaté à Istanbul et dans d'autres villes turques entre manifestants kurdes et police.
A Ümraniye, quartier populaire de la rive asiatique de la métropole, un groupe s'est heurté aux forces de l'ordre qui ont finalement dispersé les manifestants à l'aide de canons à eau, selon Anatolie.
Des inconnus ont aussi lancé des cocktails molotovs contre un centre commercial du quartier de Küçükçekmece, également dans le secteur asiatique de la ville, causant des dégâts matériels.
Les avocats du chef du parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan (PKK, rebelles kurdes de Turquie) affirment que leur client a été récemment maltraité par ses gardiens à l'île-prison d'Imrali (nord-ouest) où il est est le seul détenu depuis 1999. Öcalan a été "poussé assez brutalement" par un gardien et "menacé de mort", selon eux.
A chaque fois que des informations sur l'incarcération d'Öcalan, condamné à vie pour la rébellion séparatiste du PKK, sont rapportées par ses défenseurs qui lui rendent régulièrement visite, des manifestations sporadiques qui dégénèrent souvent en heurts avec la police sont organisées dans les villes turques où vivent des communautés Kurdes.
Ainsi, à Mersin (sud), Sanliurfa (sud-est), Van (est) et Varto (est), des manifestations ont été réprimées par la police, a indiqué l'agence pro-kurde Firat. Plusieurs voitures ont été incendiées dans la nuit à Sanliurfa.
Öcalan a été arrêté le 15 février 1999 au Kenya. Condamné à mort, sa peine a été commuée en prison à vie en 2002 après l'abolition de la peine capitale en Turquie.
Quelque 44.000 personnes ont été tuées dans les affrontements entre les rebelles kurdes et les forces de sécurité depuis 1984, date à laquelle le PKK, considéré comme une organisation terroriste par les Etats-Unis et l'Union européenne, a déclenché son insurrection.

Un mort lors d'incidents entre des manifestants kurdes et la police turque
(voici ce que j'ai pu lire hier, c'est une page que vous pouvez retrouver sur www.ataturquie.asso.fr voila rien de plus. Bonne journée
J'avoue etre assez consternee par le manque de couverture des evenements en Turquie, cette fois-ci et de facon generale. Ce pays est candidat a l'adhesion a l'Union Europeene, et on ne sait rien de lui.
Des fusils, tanks et gilets pare-balle contre des pierres. Ca me fait penser a un autre endroit du monde, ca...

mais as tu oublié que c'est la crise!!! et que dans le monde, rien ne se passe a part les bourses qui s'effondrent???!!!!!😠😕🏴☠️🤪😄😏
ainsi va la vie des médias!!!!

Oui c'est vrai, la crise, j'avais oublie, ca fait un an que je n'en entends pas parler, et visiblement c'est devenu un sujet quotidien de conversation.

Nemo, comme d'hab', tu fais des raccourcis.
Certes les manifestations sont un mouvement de soutien a Ocalan, l'homme qui a "reveille" la conscience kurde. Les Kurdes aujourd'hui pour se faire entendre, n'ont malheureusement pas vraiment d'alternative.
Maintenant, il y a une enorme difference entre etre un manifestant, civil, desarme, se faisant tirer dessus par la police, suite a un jet de pierre ou de cocktail molotov, et un combattant du PKK, veritable militaire, entraine, ayant un arsenal d'armes a sa disposition (et en faisant usage, generalement sur des cibles militaires).
Confondre les deux, est faire preuve d'une bien grande mauvaise foi. Que ce civil soutienne une organisation terroriste, un mouvement raciste ou une cause legitime, n'a absolument aucune importance. Dans tous les cas, on ne tire pas sur une personne desarmee, point barre.
Pour en revenir a l'absence de couverture par les medias francais, moi ca me choque beaucoup. J'ai regarde le journal de France 2 hier, une catastrophe. Des infos ennuyeuses sur "pourquoi le gaz ne baisse pas alors que le prix du petrole baisse". Rien sur la Turquie, mais non plus rien sur l'Europe, entend-on jamais parle des nouveaux pays entres dans l'Union par exemple? La Roumanie, la Bulgarie, etc... vous en savez quelque chose vous, de comment fonctionnent ces pays, de ce qui s'y passe? Sans avoir besoin de compulser 15 sites internet bien sur.
Enfin bref, mon message n'apporte rien au shmilblick, c'est juste un petit coup de gueule. Une fois de temps en temps, ca fait du bien.

je pourrais te retourner ta remarque sur la racourcis.
ocalan est toujours le chef du pkk et n'a point reveillé la conscience des kurdes.
mais je ne pense pas que la force physique ou les meurtes et attentats puissent etre la facon pour des personnes pour montrer leur existence.
Je suis plutot que l'action politique soit privilegié que l'action militaire.
Il ne faut pas croire que ces manifs soient le simple fait de personnes ordinaires qui descendent dans la rue comme ca. il y a une structure tres bien orchestrée, ce qui n'est pas propre aux kurdes soutenant le pkk.
Je suis par ailleurs d'accord avec toi que les medias francais ne parlent que de la france et rien que de la france quasiment en oubliant meme les pays voisins.

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.
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! 😊

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.
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!

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.
