Hello,

J'aimerais savoir si il existe une possibilite de passage entre Aqtau au Kazakhstan et l'Ouzbekistan sans devoir contourner la mer d'Aral et devoir aller jusqu'a Tachkent...

J'ai un bus WV et avec ce vehicule, j'ai prevu passer par la Turquie, la Georgie, l'Azerbaijan, a Baku prendre le ferry pour Aqtau au Kazakhstan car pour le Turkmenistan la douanne demande entre 100$ et 250$ (400$ selon un Hollandais croise en Iran et qui est passe par la...). Ensuite, depuis Aqtau il y a une voie chemin de fer pour Khiva, et une piste caravanniere, mais je ne sais pas si on peut passer?

J'ai deja le visa Ouzbek et En plus c'est tout nouveau, le Kazakhstan ne demande plus de lettre d'invitation et le visa est facile a obtenir.

merci

Bonjour a tous

Light and Shadow. Four centuries of French painting XVII - XX century. 19 March - 19 June 2005 a Varsovie

An exhibition of French paintings from the 17th century to the end of the 20th century. It includes 129 works of art by outstanding artists including, among others, Georges de la Tour, Nicolas Poussin, Claude Lorrain, Charles Le Brun, François Boucher, Jean Honoré Fragonard, Jean Simeon Chardin, Jean Antoine Watteau, Jacques Louis David, Eugene Delacroix, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Theodore Rousseau, and also the most outstanding Impressionists and Post Impressionists including, among others, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Alfred Sisley. The exhibitions also contains works by two of the most famous exponents of Cubism, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, as well as famous artists from the second half of the 20th century such as Yves Klein and Balthus.

The paintings are being brought over from the best known museums in France, including the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre.

This exceptional exhibition may be the largest and most important event in the history of Polish museums in the first decade of the 21st century. It is not often that such splendid works of art, and in such numbers, are exhibited in Poland.

Je suppose que je dois pas expliquer ce que c'est le Songkan .. les jours de songkan .. en général BKK i n'y a pas grand chose sauf a kaosan road ou tout le monde s'éclate a s'asperger de l'eau .. .. bien depuis 2 ans maintenant il y a la tourisme police qui demande gentiment aux demoiselles de mètre un soutien gorge ( un trompe couillon en argot !) il ne faut pas le prendre mal .. car du a la quantité d'eau sur le corps ... il est normal que l'on voit .. vos jolis rondeurs .. mais le songkan est avant tout un festival traditionnel thaïlandais .. et du a leur pudeur .. ils demandent aux étranger d'en faire autant .. .. je sais que je vais me mètre a dos les MLF mais j'en prend la responsabilité .. merci Mesdames et Mademoiselle pour garder un respect pour ce pays .. et gare au petit malin qui jette de la glace .. ce n'est pas drôle ...

Dans le cadre de mon voyage en Chine, j'aimerai faire de la rando soft (30km/jour) sauf que je n'ai pas la moindre idée où je pourrai marcher là-bas..

Quelqu'un aurait une idée à partager ?

J'envisage de faire à vélo :Bakou, Tbilissi, Erevan cet été.

Faut-il absolument une lettre d'invitation pour obtenir les visas géorgiens et azerbaïdjanais à Paris?

Est-il possible d'obtenir un visa à l'aéroport de Bakou? Peut-on obtenir un visa à la frontière azerbaïdjan-Géorgie ?

J'ai la possibilité de faire un stop à Singapour lors d'un retrour Bali Paris. 2 jours sont envisageables...

Est-ce interessant ou suffisant ?

A+++

Bonjour,

J'aurais une question pour nos amis canadiens que je salue bien fort et que j'aime beaucoup🙂. Pratiquement chaque fois que je lis un post concernant la sécurité dans un pays, il vient d'un canadien : risque de se faire trancher la gorge à Margarita au Vénézuela, bracages au Mexique, angoisses à Cuba ...

Je suis tout à fait d'accord qu'il y a des endroits dangereux et qu'il faut prendre certaines précautions, mais je n'ai pas l'impression qu'en France, on s'angoisse autant. Celà me donnerait à penser qu'il y a une sorte de psychose au Canada, concernant les pays étrangers.

Alors, je me pose des questions. Soit je suis totalement inconsciente quand je voyage (mais pour l'instant, il ne m'est rien arrivé de facheux), soit les informations qui filtrent au Canada sont alarmistes.

Quelles sont vos sources d'information ? Que vous dit-on sur ce qui se passe hors des frontières ? Ou simplement seriez-vous plus peureux que nous ou avez-vous moins l'habitude de voyager?

Je ne voudrais pas que vous preniez mal mon post 😕. C'est juste ma curiosité qui me pousse à l'écrire.

Quel que soit notre age ou notre génération, il y a des chansons qui nous touchent au coin de l'enfance, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire... Ces airs peuvent aussi bien dater de "ce bon vieux temps" ou bien surgir d'une radio avec une musique ou bien deux ou trois phrases qui vous serrent la gorge alors qu'on saute dans sa voiture en sortant d'un rendez-vous...

Moi, récemment ça m'est arrivé avec : "le roi des toubillons" de La Grande Sophie et "Por que te vas" de Jeanette...

Et vous ?

Je me permet de vous apporter mon témoignage concernant les perturbations psychologiques que peut engendrer un cyclone.

J'ai subit le cyclone Georges en 1998 sur l'île de st martin et je reste encore à ce jours traumatisé. Je suis un homme de 35 ans qui n'a pas pour habitude d'être froussard mais pourtant quelques choses c'est bel et bien déréglé dans ma tête pendant ce cyclone!!!!😕

Biensur sur le moment je n'était pas spécialement rassuré, mais ce n'est que plusieurs semaines après que je me suis rendu compte du traumatisme. Je ne supporte plus le moindre coup de vent ni certains bruits. A l'approche d'un orage je suis pris d'une peur panique avec frissons, tremblements, sueurs. Même une grosse averse suffit à m'inquiéter!

Après le passage du cyclone plusieurs personnes m'avaient conseillée de rencontrer un médecin pour en parler afin de m'aider. Je n'ai pas pris ces conseils au sérieux et je le regrette aujourd'hui car le travail risque d'être long....

De revoir ces images de désolation à la télé me glace le sang.

Si vous avez subit le cyclone jeanne ces derniers jours et même si comme moi vous vous sentez fort je ne saurais que vous conseiller de voir un médecin. Croyez en mon expérience. Le traumatisme peut se révéler plusieurs mois après.

Bon courage et une pensée à tous ceux dont les vacances ont été gachées😉.

ayant été en voyage au vietnam en avril, j aimerais en savoir plus sur la culture actuelle et passée du vietnam, pouvez-vous me conseiller des livres, romans, documentaires, nouvelles, etc....

merci d'avance

bonjour je suis a la recherche de monographies sur les peuples montagnards du vietnam (montagnes du nord et plateaux du centres), en particulier sur les hmong... merci

🙁 bonjour

je pars jeudi 18/03 en république dominicaine à l'hotel Luperon... kelkun aurais t'il des infos ?

Un petit poeme de Jean Richepin qu'il m'a ete donne d'apprendre par coeur grace a l'adaptation musicale du Seul, de l'Unique: Georges Brassens.

Speciale dedicace aux personnes qui aiment la langue francaise comme j'ai pu le lire dans certains messages. Oiseaux de Passage

Oh vie heureuse des bourgeois, qu'avril bourgeonne ou que decembre gele, ils sont fiers et contents.

Ce pigeon est aime trois jours par sa pigeonne, ca lui suffit il sait que l'amour n'a qu'un temps.

Ce dindon a toujours beni sa destinee et quand vient le moment de mourrir il faut voir

cette jeune oie en pleure: c'est la que je suis nee, je meure pres de ma mere et j'ai fais mon devoir.

Elle a fait son devoir c'est a dire que oncque, elle n'eut de souhaits impossible. Elle n'eut

aucun reve de lune, aucun desir de joncque, l'emportant sans rameur sur un fleuve inconnu.

Et tous sont ainsi fait: vivre la meme vie, toujours, pour ses gens la cela n'est point hideux.

Ce canard n'a qu'un bec et n'eut jamais envie, ou de n'en plus avoir, ou bien d'en avoir deux.

Ils n 'ont aucun besoin de baisers sur les levres, et loin des songes vains, loins des soucis cuisants,

possedent pour tout coeur un viscere sans fievre, un coucou regulier et garantit dix ans.

Oh les gens biens heureux tout a coup dans l'espace, si haut qu'ils semblent aller, lentement un grand vol

en forme de triangle arrive, plane et passe. Ou vont-ils? Qui sont-ils? Comme ils sont loin du sol!

Regardez les passer, eux, ce sont les sauvages, ils vont ou leur desir le veut par dessus monts.

Et bois, et mers, et vents, et loin des esclavages, l'air qu'ils boivent ferait eclater vos poumons.

Regardez-les avant d'atteindre sa chimere, plus d'un l'aile rompue et du sang plein les yeux, mourra,

ces pauvres gens ont aussi femmes et meres et savent les aimer aussi bien que vous, mieux.

Pour choyer cette femme et nourrir cette mere, ils auraient pu devenir volaille comme vous.

Mais ils sont avant tout des fils de la chimere, des assoifes d'azur, des poetes, des fous.

Regardez les vieux coqs, jeune oie edifiante, rien de vous ne pourra monter aussi hauts qu'eux.

Et le peu qui viendra d'eux a vous c'est leur fiante. Les bourgeois sont troubles de voir passer les gueux...

Je cherche des informations (toutes infos, histoire, logement, ...) sur Tiradentes une ville historique à 200 km au sud de Belo Horizonte dans le Minas.

Hi there, Hope the pros are on the lookout!

March or May 2027. Around 15 days in the Western Cape, then 15 days in the southern KNP.

Arrival either in PE or George. The pros know I’m somewhat familiar with the area... that I don’t camp... that my accommodations can be simple and remote, self-catering but with basic comforts... that I’m looking for spots that are a bit off the beaten path... in a relaxed mode... From George: Late arrival... need some rest... Herolds Bay from George to the N1. Tsitsikamma is catching my eye (Storms River)... with or without a stop in Knysna. Question: What’s the current condition of the pass from Knysna to Uniondale? R339. And while I’m at it, the condition of the R340. Tsitsikamma, Knysna, and my questions still apply if arriving in PE.

Is the Swartberg still closed? Any recommendations for accommodation in Prince Albert? If I cross the escarpment, I’ll continue via Anysberg NR, Touwsrivier... any thoughts? From there... Tankwa Karoo or Mount Cedar (or both). Then heading back down to the coast... the highlands of Hermanus or Kogelberg NR (any opinions on the latter?).

Or,

A more classic route along the coast...

If I arrive (fairly late) in PE... any ideas for accommodation in that little area? Given that Nyathi Camp is winking at me... (For context... a while back, I stayed at Riverbend (same Addo sector, private concession)... and I visited the ruins of that abandoned lodge at the time, which has clearly been renovated since... located in a very quiet part of Addo...). Any feedback from the pros? Well, that’s about it... I’m open to any other tips or advice!

hi everyone! are there other cruise formats besides the coastal express to see the northern lights in Norway in winter?

Hi there, I'm planning a 4x4 road trip from Darwin to Broome with a rooftop tent in July 2026. I'd like to know if I need to book overnight stops in advance or if I can just wing it and stop wherever I feel like it? Some evenings, we'd like to stop and make use of campsite facilities (restaurant, shop, showers, toilets). What do you recommend? Do I need a permit?

My rough itinerary looks like this: Darwin - Kakadu Kakadu - Nitmiluk Nitmiluk - Kununurra Kununurra - Purnululu Purnululu - El Questro El Questro - Mt Elizabeth - Bell Gorge - Broome

Do you have any tips or great deals to share?

Thanks

I have 5 months left to prepare for the most ambitious project of my life...

In 5 months, I’ll hit the road, heading to Nepal. Not by plane. Not by train. But by bike.

13,000 km, 18 countries crossed. Powered only by my legs, my will, and a dream.

This journey isn’t just a physical challenge. It’s:

🌍 A human and cultural adventure, meeting locals, landscapes, and traditions. 🌱 A meaningful project: discussing climate change and, above all, listening to those who experience it daily. 🔥 An inner quest, to push my limits and inspire others to step out of their comfort zones. A message of hope for self-discovery.

I have 20 weeks left to: ✅ Finalize my route ✅ Gather the budget and equipment ✅ Sort out the logistics ✅ And most importantly… find committed sponsors to bring this adventure to life.

Any help is welcome!

An idea to mull over: heading to Oman at the start of the year (January, February). A car for freedom, bivouacs, hostels, desert, mountains, hiking, walks... For two, three, or four—depending on who’s in. Who’s tempted? Have a great week, and more, to everyone!

Hi everyone,

Here’s a little account of our two-week family trip (with two boys aged 7 and 10) to Corfu. I hope it helps other travelers! We chose Corfu because there are direct flights from Paris, and we were looking for a destination where it’d be easy to swim with the kids. We were there from August 14 to 28.

Since I wasn’t sure about the distances and had read quite a bit about Greek driving and the state of the roads, I decided to split the trip into three parts: Corfu Town, the North, and the South.

Corfu Town (3 nights) Day 1: We landed in the late afternoon. Booked three nights via Booking on the edge of the old town (Sueno Garden Apartment), which is walkable from the airport—no need to rent a car for the first few days or stay in Corfu Town. First evening in the old town, dinner at Pane e Souvlaki on Dimarchiou Square. Touristy, but good vibes.

Day 2: Visited the Old Fort. Nice for the Church of St. George, which looks like an ancient Greek temple, and especially for the 360° view from the top. By 11 a.m., the sun was already beating down. Left the fort and strolled through the People’s Gardens. Lunch at Mouragia a bit further away, then backtracked to let the kids swim at Faliraki Bathing Beach.

Day 3: We took bus line 2A from Spinada (in front of the Old Fort) to the end of the runway (stop ΚΑΛΟΚΑΙΡΙ Ε). Poorly signposted when you’re at the top—you have to go down via the bar. Not well set up, which is a shame. The Panagia Vlacherna Monastery is pretty on its little island, but don’t turn around—the landings are impressive. Returned via the 2A with a stop at Mon Repos Beach, where the kids loved jumping off the pier.

North (6 nights) Day 4: Headed to Sidari, rented a small Fiat Panda from Europcar—no issues with this rental company (I booked late, so it’s probably possible to find cheaper). We’d also booked via Booking at Blue Dreams Apartment, just south of Sidari. A family-run hotel with a nice pool, we had a great stay (it’s just been taken over by Belgians who speak French). We wandered around Sidari to the Canal d’Amour. Not easy to access—you have to walk through all the bars, and the tiny beach is pretty dirty. Still, it’s fun for a swim and exploring the cave.

Day 5: Quick breakfast to be at Cap Drastis by 9 a.m. Parked at the top, but there’s very little space (we couldn’t park on the way back), and it’s a dirt road. The signs saying “To the sea” actually lead to a boat dock for a cape tour. You only see the cape from above, not below. A bit of a letdown, but since it was early and no one was down there yet, we treated ourselves to a quick swim. Brunch back in Sidari at Eviva—I recommend it: not Greek at all, but high quality. Agios Stefanos in the late afternoon after the heat. The port is awful (dirty and uninteresting), but there’s a swimming spot just before the beach, near the old port (park above, by the church). No one was there—great moment with the kids.

Day 6: Left around 9 a.m. for Mount Pantokrator. A bit of a climb at the end in the Fiat Panda—it’s steep! The road is long, but I think it’s worth it for the lunar landscape at the top, the monastery-antenna, and the 360° view. Then down to Kassiopi (we paid 5 euros for the Kassiopi Car Park—I think it’s the best option, as there’s no big free parking like in Sidari) and a swim at Paralia Mpataria (small but nice). Really relaxing in the late afternoon. Walked around the peninsula and saw several dolphin pods with amazing jumps. Unforgettable. Kassiopi is more family-friendly than Sidari and has more charm (Sidari has none, so that’s easy!).

Day 7: Morning off at the hotel, then afternoon at Paralia Kalamaki for the inflatable playground the kids had spotted on the way back from Kassiopi. 10 euros per person for an hour, not many people around 4 p.m., and we had a blast. Shallow sandy beach. Not much marine life, but safe for young kids. Note: free freshwater shower. Dinner at Nikos Family Restaurant in Roda. Great welcome and atmosphere. The stifado and soutzoukakia were delicious, and the Greek desserts were amazing too. Next door, at Roda Park restaurant, there was a Greek party with traditional dancing and plaster plate-smashing. Even though we didn’t eat there, everyone was invited to join in the street—it was fun. Probably touristy, but pretty spontaneous, and it was a good time.

Day 8: I’d booked two dives in Paleokastritsa with Achilleon Diving Center, directly via WhatsApp. Great international vibe, two easy but interesting dives (a barracuda school and a “cow” nudibranch at Colovri Reefs, cool crevasses and holes at Donald’s Place). In the afternoon, we visited the Paleokastritsa Monastery (well-maintained, pretty nice) and spent some time at the beach (very crowded).

Day 9: Day off—we enjoyed the hotel pool and went to Olea next door to buy a small olive wood souvenir. Note that the old man who works the wood doesn’t have many fingers left…

South (5 nights) Day 10: Headed to Lefkimmi. Stopped at Achilleion on the way. I knew from reviews that only the gardens were accessible, but I think it’s worth it, even at 7 euros. We passed by the French military cemetery nearby (nothing special, poorly signposted but quiet and peaceful) and ate at Elia Tavern right next door: super good, best calamari of the trip. We’d booked our accommodation at Villa Rosa South Corfu, a bit outside Lefkimmi, near Alikes. Pretty isolated, but the beach is a 3-minute walk away, right next to the old salt pans. On the way, we saw a poster (use Google Lens to translate) for a local festival near Linia. We went that evening: barbecue, concert, and local dancing. Lots of people, but only locals—it was a great time.

Day 11: Short “hike” to Arkoudilas. We parked at the exit of Kavos, just before The Rose Tree restaurant. Some people drive all the way to the beach, but it’s very rocky. We followed the “Monastery” path to see Cape Asprokavos and the ruins of the monastery nearby. To avoid backtracking, we continued through the woods after the monastery to reach Arkoudilas Beach. Nice shaded walk, but dusty road. Dinner at Agali on the Potami Canal (friendly family vibe, but long wait).

Day 12: Boat trip to Sivota with Pegasus. A wooden boat, human-sized. Crowded, but not cramped. Two swimming stops (Blue Lagoon in the morning and a beach in the afternoon) and a 2-hour stop at noon in Sivota. We knew it’d be touristy, but the vibe was good, with some dancing on the way back. Not too many people at the swimming stops.

Day 13: Kouris Museum in Lefkimmi. Okay, don’t go for the history—the guide cracks more jokes than gives rational explanations. Still, we laughed a lot and had a great time. Lunch at The Village on the main road: very fresh, very good. Perfect homemade dip platter. Not the best location since it’s right on the road, but it’s worth it. Free ice cream for the kids, super-friendly owner. Fresh ratatouille (finally, some veggies!). Afternoon at Paralia Issos. View of Korission Lagoon and a walk through the sand dunes, a bit like the Sahara in places (hard to do before 5 p.m., even 6 p.m., because of the heat).

Day 14: I’d booked a visit/tasting at Pontiglio Winery. Short tour of the small site and tasting of the 4 wines produced there: 2 whites, 1 red, 1 rosé. Fresh homemade snacks, fruit for the kids, great welcome. Then to Paralia Kanoula Beach. Mikro Nisi Bar, sunbeds at 20 euros—expensive. But a nice beach with some rocks, so a bit of marine life. We saw octopuses while snorkeling with the kids—great moment.

Honest take on Corfu The island is dirty—not just at the garbage sites, which aren’t collected often enough and overflow constantly, but everywhere. Not a single square meter without cigarette butts, even if you get off the main paths. Stray cats everywhere, wasps everywhere, sewage smells often.

The natural heritage is stunning but ruined by private encroachment on the coastline. Bars and restaurants take over the land right up to the sea. I’d only been to Santorini and Paros about ten years ago, and I don’t remember it being like this at all. Maybe the Cyclades are different now. From talking to a few tourists here and there, it seems Crete is better managed. We still had a good vacation, even if it was sometimes hard to overlook the dirtiness.

Hi there, 🙂

I’m about to book 4 nights in the Italian capital and I’m wondering where the best place to stay would be.

- A neighborhood that’s not too noisy - A neighborhood well served by public transport (airport and the city’s main sights) - A neighborhood with restaurants and supermarkets - A neighborhood with relatively reasonable prices

Public transport is essential. We gave this trip as a gift to someone who won’t be able to walk long distances like we usually do.

I also don’t want to be too far from the historic center.

Termini and Monti seem to fit these criteria? Is Termini a bit sketchy? But sketchy like dangerous or sketchy like homeless people just looking for a place to sleep?

We’ll be traveling off-season.

Thanks for your ideas !

Hi everyone, Before entering Kruger Park, we’re planning a stop in Graskop on the way from Johannesburg, then spending two nights at Hippomoon Lodge. I’ve mapped out the following route for a single day between Graskop and Hippomoon Lodge, but I’m wondering if it’s a bit too packed?😐 Visit the Blyde River Canyon in a full day – approx. 180 km / 2h40 drive, leaving Graskop at 8:30 AM: - Graskop Gorge Lift on the R533 towards Hazyview - The Pinnacle Rock - Lisbon / God’s Window / Berlin Falls - Lunch at The Chubby Pig - Treur River - Bourkes Luck, Farm, Moramelo, Uitspanning (33 km from Graskop Gorge Lift) - Bourke’s Luck Potholes - Three Rondavels viewpoint - ???Hike starting from Blyde Canyon: A Forever Resort / the guinea fowl trail / Lower viewpoint - Entry to Swadini for a Boat Cruise on the Blyde River (boat excursion in the Blyde Canyon) - Blyde Dam boat cruise - Drive to Hippomoon Lodge to arrive around 5:00 PM Thanks in advance for your feedback and experiences!😎

We're planning to cycle through Slovenia on touring bikes from July 14th to August 14th. We're used to camping, but I get the feeling there are large areas without campsites. Is wild camping allowed? If not, is it easy to stay with locals?

Could you tell me about the must-see spots in Slovenia? I'm thinking of finishing in Istria, at a seaside campsite to relax and enjoy the sea. Is it pretty quiet there?

Thanks so much, Mireille.

At 70 years old but in great shape and a seasoned long-term traveler, I’m looking for a travel companion to join me in Armenia in September or October. The dates aren’t set in stone, but I’d like to book my flight ticket soon (I live in Auvergne, so departure from Lyon)... After that, I’ll continue to Turkey (where I go very often), stopping in Georgia (where I’ve been twice in recent years), before heading back to Southeast Asia at the beginning of January, as I do every year since retiring 10 years ago :-)

Just so you know, I’m not looking for luxury in hotels, guest houses, or Airbnbs—I love street food and get around by bus or taxi using apps available in the country I’m visiting!

... looking forward to hearing from you :-))

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a quiet village or town by the Black Sea in Romania to spend 2 nights (hotel, guesthouse, Airbnb) away from the crowds and resort towns—we’re traveling by motorcycle. Thanks

Hi there,

My partner and I are heading to Malaysia in early July. We arrive in KL on 03/07 in the late afternoon and leave from KL on 18/07 in the evening.

We’ve planned: Day 1: KL Day 2: Cameron Highlands day trip from KL Day 3: KL → Taman Negara (bus) Day 4 & 5: Trek in Taman Negara Day 6: Taman Negara → Perhentians (bus + boat) Day 7 & 8: Perhentians Day 9: Perhentians → Pulau Redang (boat + bus + boat) Day 10 & 11: Pulau Redang Day 12: Pulau Redang → George Town (flight) Day 13: George Town Day 14: George Town → KL (flight) Day 15: KL + return flight at 23:45

I feel like this might not be the most efficient route. Any tips on how to optimize the order of things (even though I’d prefer to start with Taman Negara)? How’s the best way to travel between places?

Should we book everything (transport, accommodation, activities) in advance, or can we figure it out day by day? I prefer spontaneous travel to keep things flexible, but will there be availability, or will we be struggling constantly?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!
