Quid le Montenegro?
Bonjour à tous.
Voilà, j'ai très envie de découvrir l'ex yougsolavie, en septembre prochain. Tout le mond me dit que la Croatie est magnifique mais archi comble, cher etc... On a pensé à se rendre au Monténegro, seulement, il existe très peu d'info sur ce pays ( qui semble néanmoins magnifique) mis à part le site "visite-montengro", qui donne une image peut-être un peu trop parfaite...
Quelqu'un aurait-il des infos sur ce pays? Le cout de la vie, les endroits où se rendre, les moyens de logement...?
Tot ziens🙂

Douanes USA: quel genre de questions?
Bonsoir,
Je pars à la fin du mois pour un voyage touristique dans l'ouest des états-unis.
Afin de profiter de ce voyage, je me suis lancée dans mes révisions d'anglais...
Je me demande quel genre de questions posent généralement les douaniers afin que je puisse préparer mon texte ... oui, une anti-sèche, en quelque sorte!
Je vous remercie par avance pour vos réponses éclairées!
Alchemille.

France-Bulgarie en voiture
Bonjour,
Qui est allé récemment en voiture ou en car en Bulgarie ?
Je voudrais savoir quel itinéraire imprunter en partant de Paris, et notamment s'il est préférable de passer par la Roumanie, ou la Yougoslavie ?
Même question si on part du Sud de la France: est-ce que la liaison est facile en passant par la Croatie ?
Merci de vos expériences.

August Photo Contest Discussion: Religious Buildings
Pressed for time due to a full house of kids, grandkids, and cats, I decided to go with a general theme. Everyone has photos of religious buildings, so architectural variety is guaranteed. Just a reminder—I’m asking for exterior shots only, either wide-angle or detailed views.

Bridges of the World
Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon
Here’s the definition of a bridge: “A structure, typically made of stone, wood, or metal, that spans a depression or obstacle (such as a transportation route or waterway) by connecting the two sides or crossing over the obstacle.”
Viaducts, aqueducts, and footbridges will all be accepted.
Millau Viaduct
To allow for as many original photos as possible, the bridge can be photographed from the side, below, or above—the main thing is that it’s the focal point of the image.
Bridge in the Algarve
Pont du Gard from below
Details are also welcome, as long as you can still recognize it’s a bridge 😊
Brooklyn Bridge
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, 26/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, 27/07 to Friday, 31/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos should be listed in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be announced on 01/08. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing August 2026’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.

Two weeks under the Puglia sun
After a pretty disastrous weather-wise trip to Gran Canaria, we’re hoping this time the sun will shine in Puglia.
It’s not a sure thing, though—the weather’s been awful all over Europe in early May.
For those who’d like to (re)read the story without the digressions, it’s here.
Saturday, May 16: This time we’re flying out of Charleroi (Brussels South): the ticket prices, flight times, and proximity all worked for us. The airport (Ryanair) was recently renovated... but it’s still not very well organized. There are hardly any seats in the boarding areas, and... the restrooms cost money!!! The flight goes smoothly, though, and we land in Bari a little late.
We quickly pick up our rental car, a very local-looking Pandina (even more so than the Fiat 500 in this region), and hit the Italian roads... and their unique driving quirks (like the fact that the countless road signs along the streets and in towns are purely decorative 😏, and that Italian cars don’t have turn signals 😮... except for rental cars).
About an hour later, we arrive at our first accommodation, right in the middle of the countryside near Monopoli. The owner isn’t there, but they’ve left us a ton of info via messages and even turned on the space heater, which is a nice touch. We explore the property:

And the next morning before breakfast, its immediate surroundings:


Sunday, May 17: After our "seaside" experience in Gran Canaria last weekend (packed with people and locals), we decide to start inland. After a hearty breakfast,

we head toward Alberobello, a super touristy village famous for its trulli—those stone houses with conical roofs. We easily find a free parking spot on a street near the Aia Piccola district, where some trulli are still lived in year-round.


We almost immediately come across the Trullo Sovrano (the only two-story one), which you can visit (but we skip it—it’s opening time, and there’s already a line).

From there, we head down toward the Basilica of Cosma e Damiano... but we don’t go in because there’s a mass.

Now we’re on the main Piazza del Popolo, which connects the two districts of Alberobello: Rione Aia Piccola and Rione Monti, the more touristy one.

Off we go on an adventure in Puglia!
Hey there, VF crew!
After wrapping up our travel journal on Java (link below), we’re now diving into our recent adventure in Puglia! Happy reading... Off we go on an adventure in Java (and a bit of Bali) | Travel journal > Indonesia | Voyage Forum
Day 1 - October 19
When you tell your friends and family you’re itching to escape to the other side of the planet to mingle with the Mongols, you can usually expect a barrage of questionable jokes and terrible puns. For this new adventure, it’s a different destination but the same old story—this time, we’re visiting the "pouilleux" (the "scruffy" ones). We’re taking off straight for Puglia! If you need a cheat sheet to remember where this oddly named place is on a world map, just think of it this way: Puglia is the maiden name on the ID card of the heel of the Italian boot! Personally, I prefer to remember it as the land of creamy burrata, the smell of focaccia fresh from the oven, orecchiette shaped by mamas, golden olive oil that shines like the sun (which beams down here 300 days a year), amaretto that makes you happy, and those famous trulli—those little hobbit-like dry-stone houses straight out of a movie set...
But I’ll stop spoiling the rest of our trip and focus on a factual rundown of this first Puglian day. So, are you joining us on this new adventure beyond our Gallic borders? Either way, Sasha (my youngest) and Luna (Flo’s daughter) didn’t need much convincing to stick with us and keep up the pace!
Our plane drops our little crew in Bari, the site of a famously tragic battle lost in 1991. But revenge is sweet! After renting a motorized carriage, we escape the landing zone and head to our military base of operations: Ostuni, a strategic little town where we’ll set up camp for the next four days. Why Ostuni? First, for its central location, which lets us explore a region packed with must-see gems. Second, for its vibe and beauty, which have earned it quite the reputation. Perched high on a hill, the *città bianca* (the "White City") lives up to its nickname. It literally dazzles visitors. The reason? The whitewashed facades of its houses, a testament to the region’s rich architectural heritage.


We arrived late last night, so only the two bravest soldiers volunteered to scout ahead at dawn, while the younger recruits stayed behind—for now. But not for long! After the first wave of streets and the next round of exploration, headquarters made the inevitable call to retreat. Reinforcements were needed! A few strategic errands, a breakfast ration, and our battalion marched in tight formation, flag held high, to conquer Ostuni the White! *Charge!* In my squadron leader’s memoirs, I’ll write that I didn’t expect Ostuni to put up such a fight. What I thought would take two hours to conquer turned into a humbling experience—we could only bow in respect to its beauty, its relentless charm. The alleys are whiter, more labyrinthine, narrower, and more photogenic than the last. *Veni, vidi, vici*—but what an entrance, my troops!

Do travel encounters matter to you?
Hi there,
My name’s Emilie, and my view of travel has changed. I used to travel just to tick off the "places and things to do/see" boxes. But lately, I’ve realized that encounters have become really important to me while traveling. In fact, the people I’ve met and what they’ve brought to my life are now my best travel memories. What do you think? Have you had a similar shift in perspective? Are you more interested in meeting people while traveling now?
To be totally honest, I’m training to become a travel planner (a trip organizer), and I was thinking of focusing on organizing trips that are more centered around encounters. So I’d love to know if this makes sense—if travelers are interested in this kind of experience. Just to be clear, I’m not selling anything; I just want to chat and hear your thoughts.
Have a lovely evening, everyone! :)

Where to park when visiting Swiss cities?
Hi there,
I’m spending some time in Switzerland this summer. Beyond the landscapes, I’d still like to visit a few cities—especially Bern, Lausanne, Zurich, and Fribourg.
The issue is parking...
For Lausanne, I found a park-and-ride that’s cheaper on Saturdays. But for the others, it gets tricky...
I don’t necessarily plan to park right in the city center, but there don’t seem to be proper park-and-rides...
I see that the Bern–Fribourg railway line is under construction.
I’d really like to avoid paying an arm and a leg for parking over there or relying on a train once an hour.
Same goes for Montreux—it looks pretty complicated...
If you’ve got any tips...
Thanks! !

Lake Bourget: The Parachuting Nightmare
If you're walking around the southern part of Lake Bourget, you can't escape the noise from a parachuting club's planes. A group of climate skeptics actually takes off in small, very noisy aircraft every 15 minutes over a Natura 2000 classified area. They don’t seem to face any restrictions—neither for noise nor for greenhouse gas emissions. They occupy the airspace without paying fuel taxes or providing carbon compensation to local municipalities or environmental preservation associations, apparently. It sounds surreal, but it’s very real in such an important location.
Grand Teton National Park
Every day, I look back at my 2022 trip to Wyoming. And every day, I tell myself I need to start getting ready to go back. Don’t agree? 😎


Car insurance coverage with Fortunéo Gold Mastercard for Bulgaria
Hi there.
First, please excuse the dry nature of my post—I’m going to talk about insurance and credit cards!
I’m renting a car in Bulgaria using my "Gold Mastercard." I know the benefits, and in this case, I don’t need to take out additional insurance from the rental company.
However, the assistance booklet states: "The insurer cannot, under any circumstances, reimburse the insured for the amount of the CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) or LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) insurance paid to the rental company if the insured forgot to decline it or if it’s automatically included in a package the insured accepted."
The issue is that when I look at different rental companies, it’s often specified that "insurance is included" (non-declinable because it’s part of the package), and I’m worried there might be some minimal CDW or LDW coverage that would prevent my Gold Mastercard coverage from applying if needed.
Since it’s difficult to contact or communicate with rental companies (most bookings are made online) and Mastercard’s responses are pretty vague, I’m turning to you all for help.
Here are my questions: - How can I be sure the rental company’s insurance doesn’t include CDW or LDW? - Do you know of any rental companies where this is clearly stated? - Does Gold Mastercard coverage work with local agencies? - Is it possible for a rental company to refuse Gold Mastercard coverage?
I assume travelers who can answer have already had this experience.
Thanks in advance for your help.

First trips after...
A turbulent period came to an end around 2022.
Many of us have returned to big trips after making only very small ones—or none at all. For a little anecdote, my dentist told me that due to the lack of travel, a lot of clients treated themselves to implants they would’ve otherwise skipped. The joy of traveling again probably gave some vacationers smiles they hadn’t dared to show before!
Here, you can share what’s on your mind: Have these new, real trips disappointed you, rejuvenated you, or just relieved a long frustration?
For my part, not being so young anymore, there was definitely relief but no explosion of joy. I just had the feeling of picking up the thread of life after a foggy pause, with the bitter taste that 2 or 3 years of my life had been partly stolen from me.

Concours photo, août 2020: Le voyage en noir et blanc
Bonjour à tous
En préambule je rappelle que ma présence ici est tout à fait fortuite, j'ai l'honneur de remplacer Av31, gagnant du concours sur le thème "Verticales" avec sa photo de Devil's Tower.
« Je préfère photographier en noir et blanc qu’en couleurs. Le noir et blanc va à l'essentiel, la couleur aurait distrait l'histoire que je voulais raconter ».Kadir Van Lohuize
Je vous propose un concours dont le sujet sera complètement libre (youpi) mais avec une petite contrainte technique (pffff...). Nous regarderons la vie en noir & blanc.
Vos photos devront évoquer le voyage mais je laisse à chacun une petite marge de manœuvre, par exemple celle de nous présenter un portrait (d'ici ou d'ailleurs), une image macro (fleur, insecte...), une image graphique (lignes et courbes). Mais sur vos 3 photos je n'accepterai qu'une seule exception, nous sommes ensemble pour parler voyage !
Il existe sur le net un tas de petits logiciels très faciles d'utilisation mais si vous rencontrez des difficultés pour convertir une image en noir et blanc je le ferai pour vous.
Quelques astuces pour choisir vos photos: Le noir et blanc convient à des sujets très variés mais vous pouvez donner un impact bien plus fort à votre image en tenant compte de certains points. La texture. La couleur aura tendance à l'éclipser alors que le noir et blanc lui donnera toute son importance en faisant ressortir l'intensité des détails: les stries et les nœuds du bois, le tissus, la pierre, les rides de la peau... Les lignes. Celles d’un bâtiment, d’une rue pavée, un marquage au sol ou bien les lumières de la rue. Diriger l'attention dessus, c’est faire ressortir un détail que l’on ne voit pas avec les couleurs. Les formes géométriques. Symétriques ou non, triangulaires, carrées ou rondes, dessinées par l’homme ou naturelles les formes attireront l’œil et se démarqueront bien plus qu'en couleur. Les contrastes. Ils sont vos amis ! Une lumière forte avec des zones d’ombre va créer une image avec des tonalités, c’est ce contraste qui est l'élément essentiel pour réussir une photographie en noir et blanc par exemple un ciel chargé de gros nuages percés par des rayons de soleil.
Vous pourrez participer jusqu’au samedi 22 août à 23h59, heure de Paris. Chaque participant est autorisé à poster jusqu’à trois photos, numérotées de 1 à 3, en précisant le lieu de prise de vue.
Le vote aura lieu du dimanche 23 à 0h01 au dimanche 30 août à 23h59. Il est accessible à tous, participants ou non, dans la limite d’un vote, et se fera par l’attribution d’un total de six points répartis sur 3 ou 4 photos : Photo n°1 : 3 points Photo n°2 : 2 points Photo n°3 : 1 point
La photo gagnante sera celle qui aura remporté le plus de points. En cas d’égalité pour la première position, les photos seront départagées par le nombre de votes à 3 points, puis, si l'égalité persiste, par le nombre de votes à 2 points, etc.
Le ou la gagnant(e) aura le privilège d’organiser le concours de septembre.

En préambule je rappelle que ma présence ici est tout à fait fortuite, j'ai l'honneur de remplacer Av31, gagnant du concours sur le thème "Verticales" avec sa photo de Devil's Tower.
« Je préfère photographier en noir et blanc qu’en couleurs. Le noir et blanc va à l'essentiel, la couleur aurait distrait l'histoire que je voulais raconter ».Kadir Van Lohuize
Je vous propose un concours dont le sujet sera complètement libre (youpi) mais avec une petite contrainte technique (pffff...). Nous regarderons la vie en noir & blanc.
Vos photos devront évoquer le voyage mais je laisse à chacun une petite marge de manœuvre, par exemple celle de nous présenter un portrait (d'ici ou d'ailleurs), une image macro (fleur, insecte...), une image graphique (lignes et courbes). Mais sur vos 3 photos je n'accepterai qu'une seule exception, nous sommes ensemble pour parler voyage !
Il existe sur le net un tas de petits logiciels très faciles d'utilisation mais si vous rencontrez des difficultés pour convertir une image en noir et blanc je le ferai pour vous.
Quelques astuces pour choisir vos photos: Le noir et blanc convient à des sujets très variés mais vous pouvez donner un impact bien plus fort à votre image en tenant compte de certains points. La texture. La couleur aura tendance à l'éclipser alors que le noir et blanc lui donnera toute son importance en faisant ressortir l'intensité des détails: les stries et les nœuds du bois, le tissus, la pierre, les rides de la peau... Les lignes. Celles d’un bâtiment, d’une rue pavée, un marquage au sol ou bien les lumières de la rue. Diriger l'attention dessus, c’est faire ressortir un détail que l’on ne voit pas avec les couleurs. Les formes géométriques. Symétriques ou non, triangulaires, carrées ou rondes, dessinées par l’homme ou naturelles les formes attireront l’œil et se démarqueront bien plus qu'en couleur. Les contrastes. Ils sont vos amis !
