Bonjour à tous, J'ai un sérieux besoin de partir de ma Picardie natale, et j'ai comme projet de partir randonner en solitaire autours de la cordillère blanche pendant 2 semaines en juillet 2005. J'ai comme expérience de trek pas mal de semaines de rando dans les Alpes avec tout le matériel pour bivouaker donc avec des sacs assez lourds (dans les 18 kg) et de bons dénivellés (1000 - 1500 mètres pour les maxs). J'ai une bonne condition physique et des activités sportives régulières...Je dis tout cela non pour me vanter :? mais pour que les conseils que vous allez (j'espère) me donner soient bien adaptés à ma situation... Donc voilà mes nombreuses questions : 1) Essentielle : ce projet est t'il réalisable ? 2) Auriez vous des itinéraires à me conseiller (Lima - Lima en 14 à 15 j )? 3) Peut-on partir en autonomie complète (bouffe sous vide) pendant 2 semaines ? Si oui que prévoir comme nourriture... 4) Ou sinon, y a t'il des étapes où acheter à manger ? 5) Le problème de l'eau en autonomie complète ? 6) Sans guide avec une bonne carte, est-ce possible ? 7) Quel est le matériel indispensable à mon projet ? 8) Où peut on en France ou sur internet se procurer de bonnes cartes avec les chemins et la topographie sur cette région ? 9) Y a d'autres questions auxquelles je devrais réflèchir? Réponse ? 10 ) :oops: les billets d'avions les moins chers, c'est où ?

Merci d'avance pour vos conseils, ce projet me tient vraiment à coeur alors j'aimerais le réaliser "proprement" pour en profiter un maximum ! Bonne journée à Tous ! Guix

Salut à tous !

A tous ceux qui connaissent l'Alsace et la Franche-comté, j'aurais besoin de leur opinion sur ces 2 régions.. J'ai toujours vécu ds le sud de la France (d'abord dans l'ariège, puis dans les Hautes-Alpes, à marseille et enfin dans l'hérault), et j'ai véritablement envie de découvrir la partie nord.

Je dois faire le choix d'une région pr passer le concours d'instit, si j'ai le concours, je devrais rester 4 ans au - dans cette région, c'est donc un choix tres important.. Je cherche à vivre dans 1 endroit dynamique sur le plan culturel et jeune (présence de villes universitaires), dans 1 environnement naturel préservé et de préférence pas très loin des montagnes, et où les gens sont simples et gentils (là je sais bien que c difficile de s'avancer là dessus, on ne peux pas faire de généralité..)

Bref, si vous avez qq tuyaux à me faire passer, je les prend de bon coeur, merci à tous,

Bonjour à vous,

Par manque de temps et pour profiter plus longuement de l'Alsace et d'autres régions (Alpes et Provences), j'aimerais passer directement de Paris à Strasbourg.

Comme je visiterai Paris à pied-metro ainsi qu'à Strasbourg, j'essai de voir s'il ne serait pas plus avantageux ($$) que je loue une voiture seulement au départ de Strasbourg (vers les autres régions), au lieu de louer la voiture de Paris et me rendre à Strasbourg (jours de location supp., essence et payage autoroute).

Je n'arrive pas à déterminer le prix d'un train entre Paris et Strasbourg sur le site SNCF, quelqu'un peut m'aider ? L'avion est peut-être possible et moins cher, mais est-ce plus long que le train ? (temps attente et déplacement aéroport ville versus trains en plein centre-ville ?)

Pour la voiture, les achats-rachats semblent être tous de 17 jours et plus, est-ce moins cher si je loue 12-14 jours ?

Merci de votre aide. Isabelle

Bonjour à tous,

Que me suggérez-vous pour passer de l'Alsace à la Provence ? Je cherche un itinéraire intéressant et suis hésitante.

De Paris (quelques jours) - Champagne (Reims et environs, Epernay) - Alsace (de Strasbourg à Colmar, route des vins) - ?? Suisse (Lauzanne, Genève), Franche-Comté pour Besançon ou retour sur Bourgogne pour Dijon et les vins ?? - Annecy (semble très intéressant), Mont-Blanc - Rhones-Alpes (pour Grenoble) - Alpes et Provence (pour presque tout !!)

Votre avis s.v.p.

Je suis attirée surtout par les beaux paysages et les villages typiques. Les villes m'intéressent lorsque les attraits touristiques ne devraient pas être manqués.

Aussi, le Mont Blanc (montés en téléphériques, Aiguille du Midi et Mer de Glace) est-il le meilleur endroit pour savourer une vision époustouflante des Alpes ? Est-ce trop touristique ?

Merci infiniement, Isabelle

salut à tous,

je pars en trek au nepal pour la debut novembre, j'ai fais quelques treks en amérique du sud mais rien de comparable avec le nepal que ce soit en durée et en altitude, si certains d'entre vous pouvez me donner quelques conseils notamment au point de vue vestimentaire. est ce que qu'une veste polaire en gore teks ou quelque chose comme ça est necessaire.

je compte faire le trek du camp de base de l'everest.

merci d'avance

Voilà, je me suis décidée, je repars en Inde début 05, mais par la route. (Seule ou pas.. Allo Simba? ;o)) Belgique - Italie - Grèce - Turquie - Iran - Pakistan - Inde. Le plus "facile"...

Suivant les indications lues dans les forums, je peux avoir un visa iranien en Turquie (de transit, renouvelable qques jours), et en Iran, je peux avoir un visa de transit pour le Pakistan. Entrée en Inde près d'Amritsar (merci Pyaasa:)). J'espère avoir mon visa indien au Pakistan.

En train, bateau, bus... Je ne serai pas la première... Si qqun à des infos, je prends! Merci!!! 🙂

🙂Oyez, oyez, randonneurs, randonneuses, et autres voyageurs de tout poils de france et de navarre,

aujourd'hui je ne vous parlerai pas de longs voyages à l'autre bout du monde ( et c'est pas l'envie qui m'en manque ),

Moi, je voudrai juste savoir s'il y a des gens motivés habitant le sud ouest ( toulouse, albi ), où j'emménage dans une semaine, pour partir en week end rando dans les pyrénées ou les cevennes, ou ailleurs, pendant l'année. Même des gens qui habitent pas le sud-ouest, d'ailleurs, l'important, on le sait, c'est d'être motivé😉.

Bonjour, je compte partir deux mois visiter ces pays (vacances scolaires). Je pars avec un Jumper que j'ai aménagé sommairement. J'aurais voulu savoir quel était l'itinéraire le plus sympa pour découvrir ces pays (site incontournables, etc...) et avoir quelques renseignements pratiques (ferry, etc...). Si quequ'un projète de faire le même voyage, cela pourrait être sympa de se retrouver ou de faire un bout de route ensemble. D'avance merci.

Bonjour à tous!

Je ne sais pas si c'est le printemps, le soleil, les petites pâquerettes qui poussent devant ma fenêtre ou quoi, mais j'ai l'humeur joyeuse et la tête pleine de belles histoires.

Et je me demandais : Est-ce que certains d'entre vous ont rencontré leur moitié durant un voyage? Aussi bien parmi d'autres voyageurs qu'au coeur même d'un pays visité.

Bizzzzzzzzz

Bonjour à tous!

Je suis entrain de planifier un voyage pour la France en Août ou septembre pour 2 à 3 semaines. Je ne sais pas vers quelle période c'est mieux d'y aller? Je me suis fais dire qu'en jullet et aôut c'est plus cher pour les touristes puisque se sont les vacances??? Que me conseillez-vous? De plus, je ne sais pas quelle somme d'argent prévoir pour ce voyage. Ma cousine habite à Paris donc j'imagine qu'elle pourra m'héberger quelques jours. Je connaîs quelqu'un à Lyon et une amie à Marseille mais les distances sont assez longue entre Paris-Lyon et Lyon-Marseille? Je ne sais pas ou concentrer mon voyage? Que me conseillez-vous?

Merci de vos commentaires (je pars seule et je susi un peu insécure ;)

Mélanie

Comme beucoup de gens, je connais mieux certaine capital étrangère que le celle de mon pays !! Je vis en province (dans les alpes) et j'aimerai faire un voyage sur paris (une semaine en fevrier) . Je cherche des infos pour optimiser ce voyage. (les spéctacles incoutournables, les restaurants, les musées....). Il existe peut être des sites ?

Merci et si vous voulez des infos sur les alpes !

Bonjour,

je rentre d'un trek dans le nord de Thailande (pluie, gadoue, mais EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!) et depuis je passe mon temps plongée dans les catalogues de voyages!

J'ai une ou deux destinations qui me tente et entre autre le Tibet. J'ai reperé des circuits avec trekking dont un plus précisement dans la région de Chengdu, Tagong, le Zhara Lhatse, le lac Zhara Yuntso.

Est-ce que quelqu'un connait????

Est-ce que les trekk à 5000mètres sont abordables pour quelqu'un qui pratique la rando régulièrement mais qui n'a pas l'habitude de la haute montagne? J'ai lu sur le site des témoignages relatant que les Alpes se révèlent plus rudes que le Népal, mais j'ai un peu de mal à me représenter la difficulté....

Merci! bizzzzzzz

Hi everyone,

We’re a young couple planning our first trip to Albania from June 23, 2026, to July 2, 2026. We have a pretty tight budget and want to make the most of this amazing country without breaking the bank.

We’re looking for all the advice you can give to help us plan our stay:

* What are the must-see places to visit? * Which cities or villages are really worth the detour? * What natural sites, hikes, canyons, springs, or viewpoints do you recommend? * Do you know of any free, uncrowded, or particularly beautiful beaches? * Where can we responsibly observe or swim with sea turtles? * What are the most beautiful beaches on the Albanian Riviera that are accessible on a small budget? * What budget-friendly accommodations (hotels, hostels, homestays, campgrounds) do you recommend? * What are the best ways to get around between different regions at a low cost? * Do you know of any reliable and affordable agencies for renting a vehicle (car, scooter, or motorcycle)? What are the average rates at the end of June, and which rental companies do you recommend or advise against? * Is it better to rent a vehicle right when we arrive or stick to local buses and minibuses to keep costs down? * Which restaurants or local specialties offer the best value for money? * Are there any free or low-cost activities we shouldn’t miss? * Which places do you think are overrated or can be skipped when you’re short on time and money? * What practical tips would you have wished you knew before your first trip to Albania?

We’d also love any 10-day itineraries that you particularly enjoyed, along with your budget estimates for accommodation, meals, and transportation.

We’re open to off-the-beaten-path spots and local tips. If you have any secret addresses, hidden beaches, favorite accommodations, or mistakes to avoid, we’d love to hear about them! 😊

Hi there,

I’m planning to do the Mercantour crossing following the Randoxygène route in mid-July. I’m used to hiking in the mountains, but I sometimes get vertigo, for example on ridges with drops on both sides. I wanted to check if there are any T4 or T3-T4 sections and find out if there are any very exposed passages—and if so, where—so I can plan an alternative route. Can anyone give me some info on this? Thanks!

Hi there, Could you recommend some nice and affordable neighborhoods to book a hotel in for visiting Nice and exploring its surroundings and nearby villages?

I’d like to know if it’s better to book the entire stay in Nice and take day trips to the villages, or if there are villages worth spending at least one night in to really explore them properly?

Since all the villages are stunning and we have to make a choice, which ones are absolutely must-visit?

My 16-year-old daughter and I will be spending a week there at the end of April. We’ll arrive by TGV from Paris and plan to use public transport during our stay. Do you know if there’s a weekly transport pass available and how much it costs?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm planning a 19-day itinerary in Japan this summer. For a first trip, Kyoto seems like a must. For the rest, I'm torn between: - Matsumoto, Takayama, Kanazawa for 5 to 6 days - Kyoto 4 days - Nara 2 days - Koyasan 1 day - Hakone/Mount Fuji 2 to 3 days - Tokyo 3 days

Or dedicating the first 6 days to Kyushu.

Maybe there’s less traditional Japan in Kyushu compared to the Japanese Alps? Maybe Kyushu is less crowded? Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi everyone! I’m Loubna, I’m Algerian. My friends and I are planning a trip to France, but we don’t know this region at all. Could you help us out? Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are a lot of short transports, but that doesn’t bother me.

Any thoughts? Thanks, Patrick

Let’s stick with the water theme—it’s definitely the season (maybe a bit *too* much for some of those dealing with floods 😕). After the flowing waters (with varying energy levels), let’s take it easy with still waters:

Lakes (Annecy)

Ponds (near Moustiers Saint Marie)

Lagoons (Bacalar)

If you’ve got nice photos of a pond—or even a puddle—why not? Natural bodies of water only: no pools or fountains (reservoir lakes are accepted… because they often look like natural lakes ).

The contest rules are the same as always 😉: Up to 3 photos per member, one photo per post (a little explanation is better), and past winning photos from other VF contests aren’t allowed. You have until Sunday, February 22nd at 11:59 PM (Paris time) to post your photos. Voting starts Monday the 23rd at midnight—rank your top 3 photos in order (3, 2, and 1 points). Voting ends Saturday, February 28th at 11:59 PM. Results will be announced on March 1st. The winning photo is the one with the most points (in case of a tie, the photo ranked first the most times wins). The lucky winner gets to organize March’s contest 😎.

Dig into your archives…

Hi there, I’m facing a pretty big and important dilemma—I moved to Argentina (Buenos Aires) when I was 20, and now, at 30, I’m coming back to France. I’m looking for a city to live in and build a life for the next several years. I’m a single guy, so that’s the context.

The thing is, I have quite a few strict criteria... First and foremost, I *need* a city that’s bustling with people everywhere—I really don’t like quiet, small countryside towns. Nightlife is super important to me, especially on weekends. It’s crucial that there’s a wide range of options for going out in the evening (mostly bars—I’m not really into nightclubs, but I’d like to be one day if possible). The social aspect is the *most* important thing (honestly, the *only* thing that matters to me). I don’t care at all about living conditions, safety, cleanliness, or whether things work smoothly. But I *do* need a place where people are generally "chill"—not cold, rigid, or overly professional, with social norms that don’t make my head spin. I know I’ll never find the same Latin vibe here in France, haha, but I’m trying to survive anyway.

In France, I’ve always lived in Essonne (91), around Bures-sur-Yvette / Les Ulis / Gif / Orsay, etc. I *hate* it—way too quiet, empty streets, and zero activities that suit me. There’s not a single proper bar in any of the surrounding towns, just PMU tobacco shops, and nightlife is nonexistent.

I went to Hossegor once with friends—great vibe, nightlife, bars, beach, etc. But I’m guessing it’s *super* expensive to buy a place there, close to the action (and I’m not even sure if it’s a nice place to live overall).

When I came back to France, I spent 3 months in Paris because I thought it would obviously be the closest to what I was looking for. I still have horrible memories of it—it haunted me so much that I had to escape the capital in a hurry... And I was (I think?) in one of the best neighborhoods for my tastes: Belleville.

So here I am, going in circles because I don’t know enough about French cities. All my friends love quiet, small provincial towns or even living alone in the mountains.

A couple told me about Montreuil, but they were there a long time ago, so I don’t know what it’s like now. They said there was activity, that the city was pretty big, and that there was a good nightlife scene (bars, nightclubs, all kinds of outings), plus the metro (which would make it easy to get to Paris or for people to come to Montreuil from Paris).

So, for now, Montreuil is my only option, but I’m scared and would love other opinions (on Montreuil and other possibilities).

Sorry for the novel, but this is *really* important to me—my future depends on it, in a way ^^'

Thanks so much for reading and for any help you can give!

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about planning several short trips in France outside peak tourist seasons, especially in spring and autumn.

The idea would be to prioritize:

- fewer crowds at tourist sites - more affordable accommodation prices - a more local atmosphere

However, I also have some concerns about:

- attractions or restaurants sometimes being closed - more unpredictable weather depending on the region - less frequent transportation in certain areas

For those of you who’ve traveled in France off-season before, what do you think were the main pros and cons? Are there any regions or specific times that are particularly worth prioritizing?

Thanks in advance for your experiences! 😊

I’m sharing our three-week trip to Japan from late October to mid-November 2025. There were four of us—my partner and a couple of friends. I’ve traveled often with my friend Christian (Bolivia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Namibia, Laos), but this time our partners joined us. The rough itinerary: Arrival in Tokyo. Visiting Shinjuku/Shibuya districts + day trip to Kamakura 5 days in the Japanese Alps, from Matsumoto to Kanazawa (via Kamikochi, Hirayu Onsen, and Takayama) 5 days in Kyoto Nara, Osaka, Koyasan Return to Tokyo (Asakusa district), with a day trip to Nikko We booked our flights well in advance (9 months ahead): the flight cost 1086 € per person. Compared to over 2000 € if we’d booked for the same dates just 3 months prior. For accommodations, we mostly used Booking.com. The onsen was booked via Japanican, and in Kyoto, we stayed in an Airbnb. We also made 5 train reservations a month in advance on Klook or directly on the train’s website.

Day 1: Departure from Brussels (October 24, 2025) Early morning takeoff at 6 AM to Munich (1.5-hour layover) with Lufthansa, then a 12-hour flight with ANA, arriving the next morning at 7 AM at Tokyo Haneda.

Day 2: Arrival in Tokyo Airport formalities were quick. The eSIM we bought before leaving activated as soon as we landed (10 GB plan with Saily—more than enough for our mobile internet needs, mainly Google Maps and Google Translate). We’d received 4 ICOCA cards from our neighbors, which we loaded with 15000 ¥ each. We took the Keihin train, then the Yamanote Line. It’s easy to navigate since everything is in English, and each station is announced on scrolling displays in English too.

We got off the Yamanote Line at the station just after Shinjuku because it’s easier to exit that massive station with our luggage. So we ended up in Shin-Okubo, right in the Korean district. A 10-minute walk took us to Villa Fontaine Hotel. A great hotel, well-located north of the Kabukichō district. The room even seemed bigger than we’d expected.

It was 15°C, but it rained—and kept raining on and off all day. Belgian weather, basically. We went for a walk in Shinjuku Gyoen Park. Not as pretty in the rain, but the big greenhouse was interesting.

Then our first ramen (hearty and for 1000 ¥—pretty much the price of all our ramen during the trip). We headed back to the hotel since check-in was after 3 PM. Shower and relax before going out for dinner. Dinner was barbecue at Shichirin Yakiniku Anan (1700 ¥ each—good and cheap). Ordering via tablet wasn’t easy, but luckily it was in English.

We ended the evening with a stroll through Kabukichō before a well-deserved sleep.

Hi there! After a wonderful trip in 2024, we’ll be heading back to Japan at the end of July 2026 to reunite with our daughter, who will have been there for a few months.

Last time, we did a route: Tokyo – Japanese Alps – Kyoto – Osaka – Hiroshima. This time, we’ll have 10 days to ourselves before our daughter joins us for a full week. We’re thinking of spending 2 days in Tokyo and 1 day at the end of the trip for shopping.

We’re looking for ideas for a route (by train and bus) that’s a little off the beaten path, especially avoiding the most touristy spots like the best-known temples in Kyoto. Our favorite spots in 2024: Kanazawa, Takayama, and Miyajima Island. We love temples, gardens, and would love to explore the nature, which looks incredible.

Thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions!

Hi, I'm looking for info on Tuscany with the idea of taking a family vacation at the end of August, but we're not into cities or crowds. We're more into wild nature, beaches, and hiking... I've heard about southern Tuscany—is it too urbanized? Where else should we look? Thanks so much

Hi there, We’re heading to Forcalquier as a couple and would love to explore the Valensole area, including the Verdon Gorge, etc. We’ll be there for 5 days, so I’d like to put together a little rundown of things to see, plus the best tips—what to avoid, what to recommend, restaurants, and so on. Thanks so much!

Who among you has explored northern Italy along the Mediterranean, in Liguria? I’m dreaming of cycling there from Nice, crossing through villages like Menton, Ventimiglia, Dolceacqua, Apricale, Monte Ceppo, Triora, Ponte di Nava, Ormea, Garessio, Ceva, Mondovì, and Cuneo.

Beyond that, it’s the route toward Queyras in France via the Col dell’Agnello, on the slopes of Monte Viso.

A few questions for those who know the area: Is it interesting by bike? Is the road surface decent? Is car traffic low, or at least manageable?

We had this plan back in 2009 as part of a Nice-Rome crossing, but we ended up doing it differently. I might get to revisit it this summer (solo this time, not on a tandem like we usually do).

Looking forward to your thoughts and comments!

My passion for travel Travel is an endless source of wonder and discovery for me. It lets me escape the everyday and immerse myself in different cultures, varied landscapes, and unique ways of life. Every destination is an invitation to learn and grow, while fueling an insatiable curiosity.

The types of trips I love I’m especially drawn to trips that combine adventure and cultural immersion. I love discovering places off the beaten path, where authenticity takes precedence over mass tourism. Whether it’s trekking through isolated mountains, exploring historic cities, or staying in remote villages, every trip is a chance to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the world’s diversity.

I also prioritize trips that let me deepen my knowledge in a particular area, like gastronomy, history, or art. Exchanges with locals—whether sharing a meal or taking part in traditional events—are essential to making the experience rich and meaningful.

Trips I’ve taken Among the memorable trips I’ve done, some have been turning points in how I see the world. My journey through the Austrian Alps, for example, didn’t just offer spectacular landscapes—it also let me discover Austrian culture in all its diversity, from festivals to music to cuisine.

I’ve also had the chance to visit more exotic destinations, like Southeast Asia, where I immersed myself in fascinating cultures, learned ancient practices, and met people whose life philosophies really inspired me.

Future travels Looking ahead, I dream of going to Latin America to explore its vibrant cultures and breathtaking landscapes. A road trip through Peru, Bolivia, and Chile is one of my long-term travel goals. I’d also love to discover the Pacific Islands and maybe even take part in volunteer projects with local communities.

I hope my future travels will keep pushing my limits while letting me meet people who share this passion for travel and connection.

Hi, We’d like to spend about twenty days in Albania next July. We’re two women traveling together and we’re thinking of renting a small car. Does that sound reasonable, or should we avoid it? Thanks for your advice.
