Salut

je pars au Mexique en juillet et j'hésite encore sur le choix de l'hôtel.

A Cancun: El pueblito beach.

A Playa del Carmen: le club Viva Maya ou le Reef coco beach.

Qu'en pensez-vous? Vaut-il mieux être à Cancun ou à Play del Carmen?

Merci Lalux

Bonjour,

Faut-il croire tous les problèmes du Playa Turquesa(moustiques, nourriture, plage et odeurs) ? Si vous arrivez de cet hôtel écrivez-moi... Est-ce vraiment un film d'horreur...

merci

🤪 Je vais peut-être choquer ou faire de la peine.

Je regardais Julien courbet hier soir ou j'ai vu l'intervention de monsieur Marc Landez.

Ceci me rappelant des articles dans les journaux cet été, j'ai surfé sur internet pour rechercher une information dont je me souvenais, et j'ai été un peu géné par la tournure des choses:

Je suis tombé sur une quantité impressionnante d'interventions de monsieur Landez, tout d'abord dans des forums comme celui-ci, mais aussi chez LIBERATION, LE ROUTARD, des Radios, des TV, etc, avec un discours qui me semble trop bien rôdé .

Ca sent le futur bouquin à plein nez, non !

J'ai pour ma part trouvé l'intervention télévisuelle de mr Landez dépourvue de tout naturel. Je pense qu'on devrait être beaucoup plus choqué d'un tel incident, et pour ma part, j'aurais craché à la figure du voyagiste qui après m'avoir remboursé les frais de procès, me fait cadeau d'un voyage. Mr Landez avait l'air très satisfait. Je trouve qu'il y a un bug dans ce dossier.

Parce que moi, cet été, j'ai lu dans un journal que monsieur LANDEZ était un collectionneur averti de ce genre d'objet.

Cela n'enlève rien à la disproprtion de ce qu'il a subi.

Mais moi qui voyage tous les ans, je sais parfaitement qu'il y a des choses à faire et ne pas faire à l'étranger. Comme aux canaries où il ne faut pas ramasser de pierre ponces . tout le monde le fait, et de temps en temps, je suppose que certains touristes se font coincer. Comme près de chez nous à Vintimille ou les français continuent à acheter des conterfaçons bas de gammes et de temps en temps se font coincer .

Monsieur Landez est jeune et ne me semble pas être une personne dépourvue d'intelligence. Je pense qu'il monte en épingle un événement certes très douloureux, mais dont il est à l'origne responsable en toute connaisance de cause, et à l'heure actuelle dans une prespective commerciale.

le carnet de douane est-il obligatoire pour une moto immatriculée en France et penetrant en israel ?

qui a effectué le parcours depuis l'Europe ou qui le prepare?

Bonjours a tous, je suis a la recherches d'infos sur l'Armenie, on est des baroudeur, et on rève de partire en Armenie, et ce coup si on est bien partie pour y allé, mais on a besoins d'infos qui sont difficike a trouvé (le loonly date de 2000, et les carte sont dure a trouvé) ....

Alors si vous avez des infos hésitez pas, bon on part pas tous de suite mais on cherches des infos ...

Merci a tous par avance ...

Hi, can anyone give us some tips on how to get to North Cape from Lyon Gerland? What’s the best route to join the EuroVelo 7? How many kilometers is it from Lyon to North Cape via EuroVelo 7? The best month to leave—we’re thinking early May. Thanks for any advice!

I suggest we compete with photos of towers. No magic tricks or potter’s wheels—we’re talking about "tour" as in the feminine noun. So, a kind of tall building, round, square, or polygonal, or a high structure that could be metallic, or a flat-topped bell tower (campanile), or a high-rise building (building)... You can find them almost everywhere in the world and from all eras. The tower(s) must be the main subject of the photo. Examples: The first photo, which is Saint Mark’s Square (with the Campanile), won’t be accepted. The second one, where the Campanile tower is the main subject, will be accepted.



Have fun and surprise us! Photos of computer towers are excluded 😏

Hi everyone, I’m starting to plan my next trip to Southeast Asia this winter (2.5 months, leaving in early December), and here’s a rough outline of my route—I’d love to share it with you and hear your thoughts and tips.

- I’ll start in Bangkok and already have three spots I’ve marked: Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi, and Uthai Thani (I haven’t been to any of these places yet). - Next, I’d like to cross the country from west to east to reach the Laos border. I’d love suggestions for any interesting stops along this route—I don’t know this part of Thailand at all... - Then I’ll head into Laos, probably at Savannakhet (you can usually get a visa at the border). - > I’m tempted to spend a week in Hoi An, Vietnam, since I loved that city and the area when I visited two years ago. No visa needed for Vietnam now, so it could be a nice little detour. On the map, it doesn’t look too far, but I know you’ve got to be careful with these things, and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. Any opinions on this? - Back to Laos (maybe via Dakta), and I’ll head south along the Mekong, probably doing the Bolaven Plateau loop that I missed last time. Then Paksé, the 4,000 Islands... I’ve been before, but I’d happily go back. - Crossing into Cambodia, I’ll follow the Mekong down to Phnom Penh (I know this area and love how untouristy it is). From there, I’ll probably spend a few days in Kep (quieter than Kampot). Still undecided, though. - Then back to Thailand (BKK), likely by plane from Phnom Penh since the borders between the two countries are currently closed (plus, let’s be honest, Cambodian roads... ;-). We’ll see how things look when the time comes. - After that, I’d like to explore southern Thailand, taking it slow with short hops. I’ve got my eye on Khao Sok National Park, and I’ve heard good things about Krabi... Again, I don’t know this region well, so any info or tips would be great.

So, I think this should be doable in 2.5 months, especially since I prefer short hops of 300 km max to avoid getting too tired, and I like staying 2-3 days in each place to explore. Plus, I’ll take a week off to relax if I find a spot I love—maybe by the sea for some real downtime.

Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your favorite spots! Pascal

For the contest, it's here !

Off on new adventures!!! For my wife’s 60th birthday, I’m really making her happy. While I usually pick warm, sunny destinations, she’s more tempted by places where you don’t suffer from the heat. So, it’s off to Norway!! A real challenge for me—a southern guy who’s as cold-sensitive as they come. I keep telling anyone who’ll listen (well, just myself, really) that these aren’t the countries for me, that rain will be our travel companion, that we’ll have to face polar bears, navigate between icebergs, that there are still Vikings around, and all sorts of other things. Of course, not wanting to make it easy, we’re driving from the Lyon area where we live. Friends who’ve visited the country told us it’s pretty expensive to eat out (among other things), so we’re bringing supplies—especially enough for apéritifs the whole trip!!! It’s not a camper van, but a "hotel-car" we’ll be doing! We’ll see how it goes! As usual, I’ll try to narrate the journey with my two-cent comments, plus some little tips to avoid our mistakes—assuming I don’t lose any fingers to the cold! Every night, I’ll count them to make sure I still have all ten! We’re not in *Ch’tis* territory but even farther Noooorth (as Galabru would say). Note that I’m traveling with a synovial effusion in my knee! The old man’s not in great shape!! Here we go!!

PS: As always, I’m a filmmaker, so I’ve made an effort with a few photos from my phone.

Hi everyone!

Blue skies (lots of them), whitewashed villages with steep alleyways, hundreds of churches, and... thousands of stairs? Welcome to the Cyclades! 🙂

We’d been dreaming about this for a while, but in July-August—with the crowds—no way! Now that I can travel outside school holidays, the Cyclades are back on the agenda. And so begins a loooong period of planning and second-guessing, with countless itinerary changes: the Cyclades, yes, but which ones? I was fixated on Folegandros (we won’t be going after all) and really wanted to visit Delos. So, for this first trip, it’ll be: Mykonos (and Delos)-Naxos-Amorgos-Santorini.

Saturday 24/05: Departure from Orly on a Transavia flight, arriving in Mykonos in the late afternoon. We found a hotel that offers free transfers (pretty rare and not insignificant—it’s 25 € each way for just a few kilometers 😠) and at a reasonable price (83 € per night for B&B). Time for dinner already: Greek salad and souvlaki (we’re in Greece, right?)

(Okay, this is actually a dakos with Naxos cheese, but I don’t have a photo of a Greek salad 😏).

Hi there, I’m right in the middle of planning a trip to the American West—23 days from 07/30 to 08/23. Departure from Orly to Los Angeles with a layover in San Francisco, and return from Los Angeles to Orly. Day 1: Orly - San Francisco (1 night) Day 2 & 3: Los Angeles (2 nights) Day 4, 5 & 6: San Francisco (3 nights) Day 7: Lake Tahoe (1 night) Day 8 & 9: Portland (2 nights) Day 10, 11 & 12: Seattle (3 nights) Day 13 & 14: Yellowstone (2 nights) Day 15 & 16: Salt Lake City (2 nights) Day 17 & 18: Las Vegas (2 nights) Day 19 & 20: Grand Canyon (2 nights) Day 21 & 22: Los Angeles (2 nights) Day 23: Return flight (1 night in the air)

The flight’s already booked: 2250 € for 3 people. Car’s reserved—just finalized the last booking today: a Rav4 for 23 days from Sixt in Santa Monica, 715 € (all insurance included). Hotels are booked with free cancellation since I keep finding better options, and the itinerary isn’t 100% set yet.

On February 19, 2025, we traveled on Cathay Pacific flight CX702, which was supposed to take us from Bangkok to Paris Charles de Gaulle, with a transfer via their Hong Kong hub.

The departure from Bangkok was scheduled for 7:15 PM, with an arrival in Hong Kong at 11:05 PM local time.

The layover was supposed to last 1 hour and 10 minutes, and we were due to take off for Paris on flight CX261 at 12:15 AM, with a scheduled arrival at CDG at 7:35 AM local time.

From Bangkok, flight CX702 took off over an hour late. The scraps of information provided didn’t give us any real idea of the reason for the delay or whether we’d make our connection in Hong Kong on flight CX261.

Then, on the plane, the CX702 crew couldn’t tell us anything about the connection or confirm that our luggage would be transferred to Paris (we were pretty worried, as our bags contained research materials and results).

Upon arrival in Hong Kong, we were immediately told—without any explanation—that we wouldn’t be taking flight CX261!

The staff then rushed us through the airport corridors, past Chinese police checks, after handing us two non-regulation flight tickets for CX289 to Frankfurt instead of Paris.

These tickets were scribbled in ballpoint pen, with a departure time that had already passed and no gate information.

The plane took off on February 20, 2025, well after the scheduled 12:15 AM departure. We landed in Frankfurt around 7:00 AM local time.

From there, after going through additional security checks and completely exhausted from the journey, we had to walk through Frankfurt Airport’s endless corridors—only to find out we’d been dropped off at the opposite end from the gate for flights to CDG.

Not to mention, when we reached gate A01, we were told we had to backtrack to gate A24. And as if that wasn’t enough after 15 hours of travel, the gate changed again without any announcement or email.

You’d think Cathay Pacific’s management would know how long these walks are...

In the end, we arrived at Paris CDG at 1:30 PM—six hours later than scheduled, with an extra layover in Frankfurt.

Discussion: Cathay Pacific informed us via email on February 19—while we were already in the air—that our connection had been canceled for "commercial and operational reasons."

Yet, the plane for flight CX289 was full of passengers, so there was no reason the original flight CX261 couldn’t have been delayed. We concluded we were victims of overbooking—without being told!

Especially since the rerouting to Frankfurt seemed well-rehearsed...

Regarding the overbooking, our tickets were flexible, and we paid an extra 220 € for that.

We should *never* have been overbooked!!!

I also want to let other travelers know that Cathay Pacific initially told us via email that our delayed arrival in Paris would be at 10:30 AM instead of 7:35 AM.

We immediately arranged for colleagues in Paris to pick us up at that time.

Except the arrival time was changed *again* to 1:30 PM. And by then, we couldn’t get home before the evening of February 21, with all the extra costs that entailed.

Back in Frankfurt, we were stuck waiting from 7:00 AM to 12:15 PM on some of the most uncomfortable seats, with no refreshments, snacks, or assistance—right in the middle of the constant flow of travelers heading for short- and medium-haul flights. The least they could’ve done was let us into the international lounge, which would’ve been far more suitable for exhausted, freezing travelers. Right?

On this point, European law states that if an airline fails in its obligations, passengers can claim full compensation for material and moral damages without a cap. Moral damages can also be compensated (CJEU, October 13, 2011, case C-83/10).

And whether Cathay Pacific’s management likes it or not, commercial or technical issues causing flight cancellations or delays *do not* count as "extraordinary circumstances" that would exempt the airline from liability (CJEU ruling, November 19, 2009).

Most importantly, due to the over 6-hour delay and the distance between the departure airport and CDG, we should have been compensated at least 600 € per passenger under European law (Article 7 of Regulation (EC) 261/2004).

But that’s not possible because Cathay Pacific refuses to comply with European legislation guaranteeing compensation for travelers affected by such delays.

To bypass passenger rights, Cathay Pacific evades responsibility by claiming that, as a Chinese company headquartered in Hong Kong, it isn’t bound by European laws.

Yet that doesn’t stop them from enjoying commercial advantages by operating a French subsidiary for passenger transport, registered in the trade register and based in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

So it *is* subject to European law!!!

Air travelers are thus victims of Cathay Pacific’s strategies to circumvent European law...

In our case, we had to endure the cancellation of our access to flight CX261, an imposed layover in Frankfurt, no minimal assistance during the 5-hour wait in Germany, a delay of over 6 hours upon arrival, and the costs of an extra day to get home.

And as if that weren’t enough, we also suffered moral and financial damages due to the airline’s blatant disregard for its customers!

The fact is, Cathay Pacific and its executives subjected us to these damages because of an overbooking policy hidden from customers. We weren’t informed of our rights, the reasons for the delay or rerouting, or given any assistance during the imposed layover. We weren’t even refunded the extra we paid for flexible tickets—what was the point of that when overbooking was clearly planned?

And on top of it all, they excluded us from European law, which would’ve allowed us to be compensated 600 € each for the delay—totaling 1,200 €.

We wrote three times by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt to Cathay Pacific’s Group CEO, the France Regional Director, and the head of the French-registered subsidiary.

No response—except an email refusing to comply with European legislation!

Given this policy of circumventing European law and passenger protections, Cathay Pacific’s online and in-agency flight offers *must* clearly inform customers that in case of delays, cancellations, or rerouting, they won’t be compensated by the Chinese airline!!!

Hi there, 🙂

I’m thinking of taking a trip to these two countries in 2026 (late spring to early summer).

I’d arrive in Almaty and leave from Bishkek, and I’d be driving myself.

I plan to spend 1 week in Kazakhstan and 2 in Kyrgyzstan. The itinerary isn’t set yet.

My preliminary questions are about formalities, hassle levels, and the car.

From what I understand, no visa is needed, the passport must be valid for 6 months after entry, and there’s no longer a requirement to register with the authorities at each stop. In short, once you’re in, no administrative headaches.

Except for permits needed to drive in certain regions?

---/---

About crossing between the two countries:

- On foot - In a rental car

Quick? Easy?

---/---

Are both countries safe? (Meaning you don’t have to stay on guard all the time.) Are the cops corrupt? (A little, a lot, passionately, not at all?)

---/---

Is it better to rent a car for both countries or rent a vehicle in each country?

A 4x4 or something else?

Is accommodation plentiful enough that I can skip a rooftop tent, or is it better to rent a 4x4 with one?

I’ll definitely have more questions later...😉

Thanks for your answers !

Three of our grandchildren came to spend the last weekend of the holidays at our house. With her driver’s license just in hand, the oldest took her sister and a cousin along. I was talking about VoyageForum, and the conversation turned to AI, which finds writing travel journals a breeze—churning out amazing ads for this or that country and even nudging tourists to visit one place over another.

Jules: "It’s crazy, you can plan and organize everything, then just add your photos and the AI’s text, and boom—you’ve got something great." Héloïse: "What a cheat for yourself and for others." (She’s so wise!) Gaïané: "Ugh, no more surprises. It even picks the restaurants—so lame."

I had this idea to stay on the theme of travel journals:

I found an excerpt from a book (I’ll let you guess the title and author—of course, the kids figured it out in two seconds with their phones), then I wrote my own version, and finally, the AI generated its own using a few keywords.

Here they are:

"We walked at dusk through the thick, dark forest. Sometimes, a clearing would reveal a dreamlike landscape. A magical world, far from humans. A world of frozen waterfalls, stiff fir trees, and sharp peaks slicing through the blinding whiteness of the air.

We gazed, dazzled, at the spectacle, imagining we’d left the human world behind and joined that of the spirits."

"For days, we walked through the half-darkness of dense, untouched forests, then suddenly, a clearing would unveil landscapes you only see in dreams. Sharp peaks piercing the sky, icy torrents, giant waterfalls—an entire fantastical world, blindingly white, rising above the dark line traced by the giant fir trees. We stared at this extraordinary sight, speechless, awestruck, ready to believe we’d reached the limits of the human world and stood at the threshold of the spirits’ realm."

"We walked through the mountain, wild and unyielding, its sharp peaks tearing the sky like honed blades. Giant waterfalls roared and foamed, as if the earth’s hidden forces were pouring out. Higher still, the blinding whiteness belonged to the world of spirits—capricious beings whispering to lost travelers. Faced with this silent vastness, we felt tiny, uninvited guests meditating on the invisible that dwells in these forbidden peaks."

And, amazingly, they unanimously agreed that the author’s excerpt was a thousand times more poetic. Héloïse, my history buff, said: "Nothing replaces the real travel experience." Jules said: "Yeah, but it does the job. Even if the excerpt is cool." And our oldest added: "It makes you want to go there—not at all like the other two versions. Sorry, Mamido."

And then, miracle—Jules asks: "Do you have the book? Can I borrow it?"

I’m so relieved—young people aren’t completely devoured by technology yet. And the forum will keep its charm and usefulness for a long time. Phew!

You agree, right?

Hi everyone, after a stay in the South and one in the North, I’m planning a mini road trip in Corsica (Bastia-Bastia) in June to explore places I haven’t seen yet. Since we’re heading to the mountains later this year, we’ve deliberately skipped the Corsican mountains. Could you share your thoughts and, most importantly, suggest things to see? We love nature, reasonable hikes, peaceful spots, and small villages. No cities. No boat excursions (yes, that includes Piana and Scandola). We already know the area between Bastia and Calvi.

June 7 Flight arrival in Bastia and night at the hotel

June 8 Drive to Calvi (beach and/or fortress) Meal at Les Boucaniers restaurant Night in Calvi

June 9 Walk from Calvi fortress to Alga beach Charcuterie platter at A Casetta Calvi Night in Calvi

June 10 Drive from Calvi to Piana Buvette du col de la Croix and visit the orientation table Chemin des muletiers (Muleteers’ Path) Or Sentier de la source des roches bleues (Blue Rocks Spring Trail) counterclockwise Or (less scenic) Tête du chien (Dog’s Head, starting at the parking lot) Dinner at Épicerie Castellani in Piana Night in Piana

June 11 Drive from Piana to Propriano Arone beach and meal at Le Café de la plage Drive along the coast, stopping wherever we like Night in Propriano

June 12 Hike starting from Campomoro in the Jardin du Vent (Wind Garden), and visit the Genoese tower of Campomoro Meal in Campomoro: restaurant Chez Pierre Paul U spuntinu Night in Propriano

June 13 Around Propriano (avoid Capu Laurosu beach—sewage treatment plant...) Night in Propriano

June 14 Drive from Propriano to Bastia airport Meal at L’Éternisula in Zonza Aiguilles de Bavella (Hole of the Bomb) Night at the same hotel as arrival

June 15 Departure

Looking for a new way to travel that’s both unusual, affordable, and comfortable? Look no further—renting a docked boat is THE trend right now. As accessible as a hotel room, as unique as a treehouse, and with the comfort of a real floating home, this innovative concept is sure to appeal to anyone craving new experiences.

I. Why Spend an Unusual Night on a Boat?

Imagine this: you wake up to the sound of gentle waves, a soft ray of sunlight dancing on the water’s surface as you enjoy breakfast on deck. You’re just steps away from restaurants, shops, and points of interest, since your accommodation is perfectly located in the heart of the harbor. This experience, which few have had the chance to try yet, is within everyone’s reach thanks to docked boat rentals.

Discover why spending an unusual night on a boat is the next big trend. Whether it’s for a romantic weekend, a family vacation, or a getaway with friends, a night on a docked boat offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Unlike a standard hotel room, where walls limit your view, on a boat, it’s the vast expanse of water that surrounds you. It’s a refreshing and calming escape, where simply waking up on the water turns your stay into a memorable moment. Another plus? The variety of boats available.



Each type of boat brings its own advantages and a different experience:

Sailboat: Ideal for families or couples looking for an authentic experience. Sailboats offer irresistible nautical charm with their optimized spaces and cozy atmosphere. Catamaran: Spacious and stable, perfect for groups of friends or large families. With its wide outdoor areas, it’s made for socializing. Yacht: Synonymous with luxury and elegance, it’s the perfect choice for marking a special occasion, like a birthday or a marriage proposal. Houseboat: For those who prefer a more nature-focused vibe, houseboats offer a bucolic experience along canals or rivers.

Beyond their unique charm, these boats are often just as affordable as a hotel room. Take, for example, a sailboat in Hendaye priced at 129 € per night for four people. For that price, you’re not just getting an unusual place to stay—you’re getting the equivalent of a floating cottage with a bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to combine comfort, authenticity, and originality.

II. Sleeping on a Boat—Yes, But Where?

Docked boat rentals aren’t limited to just one or two destinations—far from it. With BedBoat, you can explore numerous ports in France and even the Caribbean.



Here’s a look at some top destinations:

Atlantic Coast:

Hendaye: This Basque port offers a picturesque setting between sea and mountains. Perfect for discovering Basque culture and traditions. La Rochelle: With its iconic old port, medieval towers, and cobbled streets, it’s an ideal city for a historic and gastronomic weekend. Arcachon: Known for its oysters and the majestic Dune of Pilat, this destination is a must for nature lovers.

Mediterranean Coast:

Cannes: Who hasn’t dreamed of spending a night in the port of this legendary city, surrounded by yachts and just steps from the Croisette? Toulon: A dynamic and authentic port, perfect for a getaway between land and sea. Mandelieu-La Napoule: A charming town just a few kilometers from Cannes, known for its peaceful landscapes and seaside château.

The Caribbean:

Martinique and Guadeloupe: Here, the experience takes on a whole new dimension. Picture yourself on a catamaran, lulled by turquoise waters. It’s the ultimate dream for anyone seeking a paradise getaway.

Rivers:

Bordeaux: Docked in the heart of this historic city, your boat lets you explore its vineyards and UNESCO-listed architecture. Lyon: Enjoy the Rhône or Saône rivers for a unique experience in this foodie city. Asnières-sur-Seine: Just a stone’s throw from Paris, discover a surprising stay at the capital’s doorstep. Saint-Florentin: A more rural option for those seeking tranquility and nature.

No matter the destination, spending an unusual night on a boat gives you the luxury of choosing between the buzz of big cities or the peace of more secluded spots. Unlike treehouses, which are often remote, boats let you be right in the heart of the action while still enjoying privacy.



III. BedBoat: An Innovative Startup

Did you know France has over a million boats docked in its ports? Yet, on average, these boats are only used 10 to 15 days a year. Based on this observation, three friends—Félix, Fabian, and Luke—decided to create BedBoat, the first platform dedicated to docked boat rentals.

The idea is simple but brilliant: turn these underused boats into tourist accommodations. This not only helps owners cover their costs but also lets travelers live a unique experience—all without building new infrastructure, making it both an economical and eco-friendly solution. Far from being just a booking platform, BedBoat offers a true immersion into the world of boating. It’s an innovative way to discover France’s and the Caribbean’s most beautiful ports while enjoying all the perks of an unusual stay. For cities, it’s also a great opportunity. Boats allow them to welcome more tourists without overloading the traditional rental market. Everyone wins: owners, travelers, and even locals.

Docked boat rentals are much more than just a trend—they’re a revolution in the world of tourism. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a trip with friends, BedBoat opens the door to a whole new world. So, ready to set sail on your next adventure?

Hello, I’m Buddhist by conviction. Even though I don’t practice anymore, I have a Buddhist altar at home that’s becoming increasingly ecumenical—just like in India, it includes Ganesha, the Holy Family, a Virgin of Lourdes, several Shivas, Tara, Avalokiteshvara, and more... I was hoping to buy a beautiful wooden, stone, or metal Buddha statue in Thailand. On top of that, I wanted to have my statue "blessed." But then I heard it’s forbidden to take any statue or representation of Buddha out of the country... What’s the reality in practice? Have any of you brought back a Buddha statue or other representation in your luggage? Did you make the mandatory declaration? Thanks

Hi, we're heading to Cambodia. We have the e-arrival visa, which was introduced last September and needs to be done only 7 days before departure. I'd like to know if we can complete the declaration online instead of on the phone, which would require printing the declaration. Thanks for your reply. Best regards

Hello,

I’m Bruno, and I need some advice for planning a long, amazing trip (at least 1 month) to the United States. I want to show my kids the incredible places I visited nearly 30 years ago! 🤪

How do I travel with 3 teens, who should I call, and what do you recommend?

Things have changed so much since then, and it’s way easier to travel at 20 with just a backpack! ^^

Thanks in advance! 😏

Salut,

Sur le site de la Deutsche Bahn, je n'arrive plus à obtenir des propositions trajets incluant les vélos. Il me semblait que le site parvenait toujours à mettre en valeur les enchaînement de TER ou Intercités pour proposer des trajets vélo-compatibles.

Voilà la page qui apparaît systématiquement. Là, j'ai cherché entre Morlaix et Paris. Ça m'est arrivé pour d'autres trajets récemment.

Ou il n'y a vraiment aucun TER qui arrive à Paris depuis l'ouest ? Ou j'utilise peut-être mal le site. Ou il a perdu de sa superbe.

Merci si vous avez des éléments de réponses

Cette fois ci le départ approche , après bien des vicissitudes la covid19 qui bouleverse et prolonge ma vie d’ élu, j’anticipe et je prends le départ dimanche 21 juin de Crouy GrandSoissons et j’attaque par le GR 12 l’objectif pour la première cession le Nord Est rallier Sarreguemines en 17 jours... ce sera un test révélateur pour la suite du projet. Le problème de l’ hébergement ( a prix raisonnable) reste le plus aléatoire , malgré mes demandes dans les mairies. Si quelqu’un a des possibilités ou des idées sur les étapes de Joigny sur Meuse, Nouvion sur Meuse, Mouzon, le long de la voie verte. Stenay, Pierrepont, Fontoy GR 5 et Courcelles Chaussy sur le GR 5g . Je suis preneur. À bientôt JM2

Hola .. désolé, mais pas envie de sourire !!

L'épidémie de Coronavirus a lourdement frappé toutes les économies, mais certains secteurs ont été plus affectés que d'autres, notamment la construction et la vente de véhicules.

A Barcelone se trouve la plus grande, et unique usine européenne de Nissan : 3000 emplois directs et plus de 20.000 emplois indirects.

Or, la direction (nippone) de Nissan, a officiellement communiqué, aujourd'hui, au gouvernement espagnol sa décision de fermer son usine de production implantée dans cette ville. Ce sont ainsi, 3000 emplois, directement dépendant de Nissan qui disparaissent, mais également plus de 20.000 emplois indirects dans la sous-traitance dans toute la région barcelonaise !!

A priori, cette décision, qui était déjà dans les tuyaux depuis quelques temps avait été illustrée depuis un an ou deux, par des incitations aux départs volontaires ou des licenciements, et c'est ainsi que prés de 1600 personnes au cours des derniers mois, avaient quitté le giron du constructeur japonais.

Nissan a déclaré que cette décision est irrévocable, et qu'elle n'en fait pas une sorte de "chantage à l'emploi" pour se voir octroyer des aides sous quelques formes que ce soit !! Cette décision met fin à une présence de 40 ans de la firme japonaise en Catalogne.

Quel que soit le côté vers lequel on regarde, le ciel est bien sombre et de gros nuages noirs sont de plus en plus visibles à l'horizon 😕

Les lits des populistes de tous poils et des extrêmistes de tous bords, partout en Europe, sont en train d'être bien préparés et avec de moins en moins de complexes (cf manif de Vox à Granada). Hasta luego 🤪

Bonjour,

Après la Vélodyssée (Aout 2018), le Japon/Okinawa (Aout 2019) et les trails de Nouvelle-Zélande (Décembre 2019) : j'ai le projet de faire un nouveau voyage en cyclotourisme de 12 jours en Aout 2020.

Le hic est que j'hésite entre la ViaRhona et la Meuse à vélo : je recherche donc des retours d'expérience de personnes qui auraient déjà effectué l'une ou l'autre

Mes critères sont assez classiques : des beaux paysages, du soleil (départ prévu le 20/08 donc pas trop de souci à priori) et des parcours roulants : j'adore en effet rouler en suivant un cours d'eau comme j'ai pu le faire sur le canal de Brest (même si certains trouvent ça monotone moi j'adore 😛 !!) mais pas contre je n'aime pas rouler à moins de 25 km/h sinon je m'ennuie (du coup au moins 100 km/jour en général). Je roule en général assez léger avec une seule sacoche Ortlieb sur porte bagage arrière et en vélo gravel Trek crossrip 3 (pas de camping donc, je dors toujours en hotels, auberge, Airbnb)

En bref, je suis preneur de toutes informations qui pourrait m'aider à choisir !!

Cordialement
