Ile Maurice et apnée English translation pending

bonjour,

est ce quelqun peux m aider ? je cherche un hotel a l ile Maurice ou je puisse partir de la plage en PMT (palme masque tuba) avec mes enfants pour observer le recif : donc un endroit ou l eau est claire (pas comme le lagon de Grand Gaube), ou il n y ai pas que du sable, ou les courants soient moderes, et pas envahis par les engins rapides (jet ski, bateaux, funboard...).

Est que le Morne est bien ? le recif a l air assez loin du bord et j ai lu que le courant y etait fort...

Il vaux mieux remonter un peu sur la cote ouest ?

Je connais deja le nord, donc je prefererais la cote sud ou ouest.

Budget...indifferent :)

Merci
Ile de Pâques English translation pending

Je reviens de deux semaines sur l ile de paque et en preparant mon voyage pour y aller je me suis rendu compte que l on trouvait fort peu de renseignements pratiques sur l endroit.

Les prix, il faut passer ar lan chile qui a un monopole sur l ile le prix du billet est comprit entre 530 dollars en s y prenant tres a l avance (2 mois)et en basse saison a 860 dollars, vous pouvez voir ca sur le site de lan chile mais essayez plusieurs fois si le tarif est trop eleve je ne sais pourquoi il change tous les jours ou presque.

Sur l ile tout est cher mieux vaut donc ammener avec soit ce que l on compte manger sur l ile de maniere a trouver une pension ou l on pourra cuisiner. Le prix des hospedajes est compris entre 10 et 45 dollars selon que l on soit en basse ou haute saison, en fait pour negocier des baisse il faut rester longtemps, plus de 5 jours.

On peut visiter une partie des sites a pieds depuis hanga roa la seule ville mais pour le reste point de salut il faut un moyen de transport, un cheval ou un voiture ou encore payer un tour entre 20 et 40 dollars par jours.

L ile de paque est un endroit envoutant tant par ses statues disseminee sur tous sont territoire que par sa localisation au milieu du pacifique ( c est l endroit du monde le plus eloigne de tout terre habitee), ce n est pas une ile du type tahiti avec mer bleue et cocotiers mais c est vraiment une ile vierge que l on peut parcourir a pied a cheval ou en voiture, les paysages y sont encore sauvage et on n y voit pas de beton de plus il n y a que trois mille habitant sur l ile et tout le monde se connait, c est un peu une grande famille et des que vous rencontrez quelqu un c est le cousin la tante ou le neuveux de telle autre personne que vous connaissez. en y restant 13 jours j ai connut beaucoup de monde et ai put apprecier cet endroit ou le temps passe tres tres differement.

En ete l ile est un envahie de touriste et est assez cher mais en hiver (maintenant) ce n est pas invivable.

Si vous avez des questions n hesitez pas a me mailer

ps Pour ce qui y vont je recommande chaudement la pension tararaina, tenu par ana et lorenzo tepano, pas besoin d adresse sur l ile on monte dans un taxi et on dit chez qui on va!Il sont tres sympas et vous emmene pecher, de plus comme ils vont un peu partout sur l ile pour vendre les travaux artisanaux de lorenzo on n a pas besoin de payer un tour pour visiter les endroit interessants, il suffit de monter en viture avec eux, prix de 15 dollars avec petit dej a 25 30dollars selon la periode le temps que l on reste, mais c est negociable!

Current Prices for Returning to France (CDG)
by Patrick91230 · 2026-03-05 · 4 replies
Hi,

I just checked the flight ticket prices for returning to France in the coming days from Southeast Asia, without going through the Gulf. I can see why some prefer to wait it out where they are, at least for now. One-way economy class prices.
Looking for a travel companion for the Grand Tour of Paris June 2026
by Jeanmari · 2026-03-01 · 0 replies
Hello,

I’d like to do the 550 km Grand Tour of Paris around June 21st—it’s the GR1 trail. I plan to return to Paris each day so I don’t have to carry a heavy pack, and I want to take my time exploring the city as well. I’m looking for a travel companion who’s in good physical shape and loves hiking. I’m 68, a semi-retired teacher (I still enjoy teaching), an international traveler who’s already done a round-the-world trip and wants to do more… Looking forward to getting to know you! Jean Marie
Caribbean - Saint Martin Island: On the Beach and on Horseback
by Jemaflor · 2026-01-27 · 4 replies
A horseback ride by the sea on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin or ... on the beach, but at a walk and trot! It was probably these visions that gave me the irresistible urge to do this horseback trek—to walk on the sand, but as a rider, and also enjoy a swim that was anything but ordinary.





From wish to reality ... all it took was heading to Ranch du Galion. Here we are, on the heights of the east coast of the charming island of Saint Martin, in the heart of the Caribbean.





After a first horseback ride that we really enjoyed, with a simple trip to the beach, it didn’t take much to make us want to repeat the pleasant experience. My daughter Emma had been dreaming of it too—so why not share this change of scenery, but this time opting for a slightly longer trek? It’s the big day. And Jess is there to greet us this morning with a big smile. Jess—or Jessica—is the one who runs this tropical ranch with passion; she looks after a whole little family of horses. This morning, she’ll be our guide and companion for this seaside horseback ride.



So, we set off along the wild shores of the stunning Anse du Galion.

In the enclosures, behind the fences and ropes, some stallions already seem impatient to stretch their legs! They know the place, the routines, and the trails ... and the soothing reward halfway through—a dip in the sea. Maybe that’s what’s causing a little excitement among these mounts!





Horses and ... an iguana slipping into the bushes. Given its appearance—its crest, its parched skin, and the dewlap hanging under its head—you’d think it wasn’t exactly young.



Anyway, back to the horses. Among the mares and stallions, I try to spot "Avenir" and his elegant gait—he was "my" horse during my last trek here, on the trails and sands of Galion. Well, spotting him isn’t going to be easy! My memories are a bit fuzzy, and several of these horses look like him ... -- Before setting off on the trek, it’s time for Jess to choose our mounts. For riders with little experience ... it’ll be calm horses, well-used to trekking—definitely easier and more enjoyable. Titia, a beautiful white mare for my daughter, and Prince, a gentle stallion for me. A little anecdote along the way: we’re really staying in the family for this horseback ride—these two horses are actually related: "my" Prince is the son of the lovely Titia!

Which Greek island to visit with kids?
by Aziyade33 · 2026-01-13 · 14 replies
Hi there

I hope you're starting this new year with your head full of travel memories or plans!!

I’d love to spend a week in July on a Greek island with my 8-year-old son. I’m totally in love with Amorgos, but not all the beaches are accessible for him. I’ve been to Santorini and Naxos before and don’t want to go back. Would you have an island to recommend that’s not too crowded 😕, with a few accessible beaches and where we won’t have to fight to get around or park?

Have a great day Christelle
Timing Paris transport to Roissy for an 8:30 AM flight
by Prisonbreak69 · 2026-01-13 · 8 replies
Hi, I saw that the first tram from Pont du Garigliano leaves at 5:15 AM, and by taking the RER B at Cité Universitaire afterward, I’d arrive at Roissy at 6:30 AM—2 hours before my international flight. Is this doable, or not? If anyone’s done this before, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks

Questions about a trip to Paris around mid-February 2026
by Bauhaus · 2025-10-20 · 21 replies
Hi everyone,

I’m looking into a trip to Paris around mid-February. I’d love to know more about the temperature (weather) in Paris, museum access (closures or anything else), how easy it is to get around on foot (slippery due to ice?), public transport, etc.

Also, are there any events or activities I absolutely shouldn’t miss? I could adjust my dates based on what you know.

On another note, I’d love to catch a hockey game. Are there any around Paris? I’m happy to watch a few games no matter the level 🏒🥅

FYI, I’m not afraid of the cold since I’m from Quebec 😁😆😆🧑‍🌾

Thanks in advance for your help! 👍😊❤️❤️

Paris in 2 days on foot: itinerary and feedback on my route
by Nico2184 · 2025-07-30 · 9 replies
Hi everyone,

I’d love to get your thoughts on these two routes I’ve planned to see the highlights of Paris in two days.

I don’t want to take any transportation.

I’ll arrive at the hotel by car on Saturday around noon and won’t pick it up again until the next evening to leave.

**First day:** I’m thinking of starting from the hotel, then heading to the Eiffel Tower - Trocadéro - Galeries Lafayette - Élysée Palace - Tuileries Garden - the Louvre (outside only) and finishing at Les Invalides.

12 km



(The route on the map is just for reference to show the places we’ll visit—it might vary by a hundred meters or so.)

**Second day:** Starting from the hotel, we’ll go to Montmartre - Sacré-Cœur Basilica - Pigalle - Notre-Dame Cathedral - Panthéon - Luxembourg Garden.



What do you think? Am I missing out on anything great with this route?

Since I’m traveling with two kids, do you see any spots on these routes that might be a bit risky safety-wise? 🏴‍☠️

We’re not big museum fans, so we’re not planning to visit any—unless it rains, of course! 😄

One last little question: are there any protests planned in Paris on the weekend of August 16-17? 🙂 Thanks for reading! 😎

Are there any accessible showers at Charles de Gaulle Airport?
by Pops974 · 2025-07-09 · 1 reply
Hi everyone, I’m arriving on a long trip at Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2 and would love to take a shower. I’ve already contacted the airport hotels, but they only offer day rates starting at 10 AM, and I land at 5:30 AM... The Yotel capsules are only accessible if you have a ticket for Terminal 2E. And airline lounges without a loyalty program charge at least **115 €** for access that includes a shower 😩. Is there another option? Thanks for your help!
Paris: Three swimming areas in the Seine opening this summer
by VoyageForum · 2025-05-27 · 0 replies
Starting July 5, 2025, swimming will be allowed in the Seine in Paris for the first time since 1923. Three free sites will open: Bercy (12th arrondissement), Grenelle (15th arrondissement), and Bras Marie (4th arrondissement).

These areas will be monitored and may temporarily close in case of pollution or unfavorable weather conditions.

Opening hours and access conditions will be updated daily on the paris.fr website.

This project is part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games legacy and aims to provide new relaxation spaces for Parisians and visitors.

Would you be up for giving it a try?

Meet-up at a restaurant in Paris about home exchanges
by Tortuegeante · 2025-05-19 · 3 replies
Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a restaurant meet-up around the theme of home exchanges—a concept I’ve been practicing for a year now, and I’m thrilled with it. I’ll share some insights about home swapping. The meet-up is at **Au bon couscous** on Sunday, June 8th at 1 PM, with a max of 12 people and several associations involved. Everyone pays for their own meal—it’s really good and affordable. My aunt’s been doing this for 20 years, and my sister too. I’m totally sold on this way of vacationing: it’s more social, super budget-friendly, and all about sharing.

I’ll reserve a specific number of spots at the restaurant, so please only come if you’ve signed up.

After the meal, I’m also proposing an optional relaxed walk from Saint-Michel to Gare de Lyon. Looking forward to meeting you! Giant Tortoise Sofi
Bike route for a group of teens from Nemours to Thiers
by MeliMeloVelo · 2025-05-09 · 2 replies
Hi everyone, We’re organizing a week-long bike trip for a group of scouts. I’ve already mapped out a route using Géovélo (travel option). The teens will take the train to Nemours (or a bit beyond) and then follow the Loire à Vélo route for a good stretch (until Nevers, which they’ll bypass to the west). After Nevers, things get a bit trickier. I also wanted to avoid Moulins, so I planned for them to follow the Allier’s west bank and cross near Châtel-de-Neuvre. I’m having some doubts about the route and really want to steer clear of busy main roads as much as possible. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the route I’ve chosen, plus any tips you might have. I saw there’s the V70 veloroute, but I decided against it after hearing it has some *very* road-heavy sections.
Which island and which hotel to choose for next September?
by Lecondor · 2025-05-05 · 1 reply
Hi everyone,

We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Which Aeolian Island should I choose? (Italy)
by Aurelie3 · 2025-04-20 · 2 replies
Hi there,

I’m heading to Sicily for the 3rd time at the end of August. I’ve planned to spend 2 nights in the Aeolian Islands. I know you’ll say—rightly so—that it’s too short, but I can’t do any better. I’ve already been to Vulcano.

Which island is the most worth visiting for its stunning landscapes and views?

At this point, I was thinking of spending 1 night on Stromboli (and doing the ascent) and 1 night on Lipari, Salina, or Panarea.

Thanks for your tips, personal experiences, and have a great weekend!

Which island in Thailand for snorkeling and walks over 3 days?
by Equipecool · 2025-03-13 · 11 replies
Hi everyone, we’ll be in Thailand from August 2nd to 21st, arriving in Bangkok on the 2nd for a visit. From the 5th to the 8th: Angkor temples. Then, starting on the 9th, we’re planning to head to Chiang Mai, and by the 14th or 15th, we’d like to be on an island until the 19th, when we return to Bangkok. Five days in Chiang Mai seems a bit long to us. What do you recommend between the 9th and 15th, and which island? We’re not big fans of sunbathing—we’d love to snorkel and explore the island. Ideally, I’d have liked to find a house to rent, but every time, I end up with places far from the beach, whereas we’d really like to be able to walk to the beach for strolls. By the way, are there a lot of shells? Can we collect them? It seems that in August, swimming can sometimes be tricky due to tides—is that true? Thanks to all the contributors! 😊
