Bonjour à tous. avec 3 copains on part en jordanie début avril pour 10 jours.

Pour la beauté des paysages on comptait passer par la route des rois entre amman et pétra. Est ce que c'est jouable par les bus au niveau des connexions ? Pas trop de perte de temps ? ou faut il absolument louer un taxi ou une voiture.

merci pour vos reponses Amicalement Luc

Bonjour à tous, je pars à NYC début mai, et j'aimerais connaitre les lieux que vous considérez comme incontournables, sachant que j'y reste 1 semaine, et que je suis intéréssé par plein de choses qui vont de la culture aux virées nocturnes en passant par tout ce que vous me suggérerez!!!

Je logerais à Manhattan et je comptes bien beaucoup bouger !

Alors, jattend vos infos, faut que j'en ai assez pour être totalement épuisé en rentrant 😉 !

Merci à tous, Phil

bonjour,

J'irai en France pour la 1ère fois en juillet prochain.

Nous partirons le 11 juillet avec zoom airline . Juste le nom de la compagnie me fait un peu peur....mais avec 2 enfants, c'est eux qui m'offraient les tarifs les moins dispendieux....

Nous aimerions louer une voiture pas trop dispendieuse et capable de loger les tous nos bagages. Est-ce quelqu'un pourrait me conseiller sur le modèle de voiture qui serait avantageuse pour nous?

Avant notre départ, nous nous gardons 2 jours pour visiter Paris. J'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un connaît l'hôtel little régina? Il se trouve près des 2 gares...du moin c'est ce que j'ai compris.

Y aurait-il d'autres hôtels pas trop chers et que vous nous conseiller

merci

Bonjour,

Nous partons pour la Nouvelle-Zelande bientôt. Au cours du voyage, nous faisons une halte de 8h à S. Que ne conseilleriez-nous pour découvrir la ville? j'ai cru comprendre qu'une nouvelle ligne de métro desservait le centre depuis l'aéroport?

Merci d'avance Amicalement🙂

Bonjour à tous. Nous souhaitons passer trois jours (deux nuits) à New-york à la sortie de notre voyage dans l'est canadien (Québec et Provinces Maritimes). Nous cherchons des bons plans pour héberger notre petite famille en toute sécurité et peut-être sans devoir se taper deux heures de métro pour accéder au centre.

Ne connaissant pas trop bien la ville hormis ce que la télé nous en montre comme cliché, quels sont les sites les plus intéressants en plus de Manhattan, Long Island, Central Park et le Musée d'Art Moderne. Nous avons 6O heures sur place avec 3 enfants de 8 à 13 ans.

Merci pour vos réponses et meilleurs voeux à tous ceux qui nous liront.

Apparement beaucoup de monde souhaite recevoir des nouvelles de mahabalipuram, tout comme moi.

Donc si quelqu'un en a, bonne ou mauvaise qu'il les mettent ici.

le village? la plage? L hotel ideal?

MERCI

C'est une petite histoire authentique, un peu dans la même veine que "les petites galères de voyage dont nous rigolons volontiers aujourd'hui", initié par José.

J'étais à K.L depuis une semaine déjà et je ne me lassais pas de battre le pavé dans ses quartiers chinois et indien et de découvrir chacune de ses multiples facettes. Je la trouvais fascinante et, contrairement à ses bruyantes voisines, cette capitale n'était pas surpeuplée et n'étouffait pas sous le béton et la pollution. Je ne comprenais pas d'ailleurs pourquoi les routards faisaient si peu de cas de cette ville harmonieuse et cosmopolite, la considérant seulement comme une étape obligée après les randonnées aux Cameron Highlands et avant le farnienté aux Perentian Islands. La Malaisie ne se résume pas aux Perentian tout de même! Ce jour là, j'étais monté aux Twin Towers, assimilées par les uns à un pied de nez adressé à l'Empire State Building, par d'autres à un signe éclatant de la modernité du pays, par d'autres encore à l'oeuvre d'un chef d'état mégalo comme on en trouve dans tous les pays. Bah! Je ne savais pas trop quoi en penser. J'étais ensuite descendu à Little India pour me sustenter, avant de partager l'après-midi entre le National Art Gallery et le fameux Central Market.

En début de soirée, douché, rasé de près, avec le sentiment agréable d'une journée bien remplie, j'avais pris la direction de Chinatown, savourant à l'avance ce repas gargantuesque que je m'étais programmé sur une terrasse de ce quartier haut en couleur. C'est devant un arrêt de bus que je l'aperçus. La taille svelte, élégante et avec un mélange de je ne sais quoi d'effronterie et de douceur, elle me décocha une oeillade appuyée. Il n'est pas coutume chez les routards (et VF l'illustre bien) de s'épancher sur leurs rencontres charnelles. Le routard n'est pourtant pas asexué, que je sache. Le routard séducteur existe. Ainsi, un voyageur, croisé un jour, me confiait avec un zest de lubricité dans les yeux, que " quand on voyage en toute liberté, on n'a que "ça" à faire...". Un autre, plus méchant, me lançait carrément: " Je ne comprends pas ceux qui voyagent avec leur femme; c'est comme aller au restaurant avec son sandwich". (!!!)

Bref, en apercevant cette malaisienne toute de jeunesse et de beauté, ma décision était prise. Elle dînerait avec moi. Je lui tins en anglais à peu près ce discours: " Comme tu es belle, ma brune, le teint brun est le joyau de la beauté et l'âme de la légèreté! M'attendais-tu par hasard? " Doha (c'était son nom et 25 printemps étaient son âge) ne répondit pas immédiatement, se contentant d'accentuer son sourire délicieux qui me transportait d'aise. Elle me fit comprendre ensuite que les bus, il y en avait treize à la douzaine et qu'elle n'avait aucune urgence. Notre choix se porta sur une gargote chinoise à la façade colorée et c'est Doha qui, sitôt installée et avec beaucoup d'entrain, fit les commandes à un serveur placide. Elle montra la même énergie, à la limite de la voracité, en dégustant à pleines dents son chicken rice. Nous parlâmes de tout et de rien. Au moment d'entamer le dessert, Doha évoqua sa famille. Mais elle ne parlait d'elle-même qu'avec parcimonie. Le dessert englouti, elle s'excusa, s'éclipsa et revint quelques instants plus tard, maquillée et droite dans ses chaussures. Elle se rassit, s'éclaircit la voix et me lança:

" Dis moi, n'as-tu rien noté de spécial chez moi? A part ta beauté et ton solide appétit, ma foi, non, repartis-je presqu'instinctivement. Vraiment? Regarde moi plus attentivement", fit-elle en me fixant de ses yeux écarquillés.

Au moment où elle achevait sa phrase, je reçus un coup magistral, je fus frappé de stupeur! Ce nez épais, cette ossature ample du visage, cette bouche et ces joues fardées à outrance, cette dentition...ce n'est pas possible! C'est un homme!!! Enfin...un jeune homme, mais un homme quand même! Je restai bouche bée, interdit, puis j'éclatai de rire. "L'autre" m'accompagna dans mon rire, non sans une certaine appréhension dans les yeux. J'appris dans la foulée que la semaine précédente, c'est un robuste moustachu en provenance d'Oman qui eut l'honneur d'avoir Doha à sa table et qu'il envoya tout bouler (la table et ce qu'il y avait au-dessus) lorsqu'il sut qui était Doha. Doha était maintenant tout silence et semblait attendre une espèce de verdict de ma part. Je m'empressai de "la" rassurer. Non, je n'étais pas faché. La situation était d'une telle cocasserie; on ne pouvait qu'en rire. Nous ne pûmes faire autrement que devenir les meilleurs amis du monde. En nous voyant nous diriger vers un bar pour déguster une bière, des jeunes dans la rue entonnèrent: "Oh! My love, my Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarling....."

Quand j'y repense... Rio, Nice, Hamburg, toutes ces villes "chaudes" visitées et revisitées sans intercepter la moindre grimace d'un travelo. Il m'a fallu la K.L musulmane et feutrée pour me faire avoir comme un bénêt.

Hello,

I’m currently looking for well-located hotels near points of interest in the cities below. I’ve found a few, but the prices are really high. Could any of you share some great addresses in the following cities? - Los Angeles - Las Vegas - San Francisco

Also, do you have a preferred airline for domestic flights? If so, which one?

Thanks so much, and have a great day, everyone!

Let’s be clear—it was a fantastic time to visit, and Jordan is an amazing country! 100% sunshine and temperatures between 25 and 35°C, depending on the altitude. No stress at all: Jordanians live up to their reputation as a charming, helpful, and fun-loving people. No hassles, no pushy sales—just pure joy sharing time and laughter with them. Over 11 days, we intentionally skipped the north to spend more time in Petra, Wadi Rum, Dana, and diving in Aqaba. No regrets whatsoever 😄 Practical tips at the end of the travel journal.

Road trip: Arrived at 10 PM (Nantes-Frankfurt/Amman in under 9 hours). Spent the night near the airport.

Day 1: Left at 8 AM for Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea Center—picnic in the middle of the lovely Wadi Himara (great spot, 2-hour round trip—thanks to the GPS coordinates from the agency. It takes guts to leave your car parked alone with all the luggage inside, but honestly, no stress at all). Afternoon at the Movenpick (pricey but nice) to enjoy the Dead Sea. Dinner on-site. Perfect relaxation for a first day.



Day 2: Drove south along the Dead Sea. First stop at Wadi Mujib (great, fun, and full of water—max 2-hour round trip). Then a second swim in the Dead Sea, 10 km past the Wadi Mujib Center, which we preferred over the Movenpick spot because it felt wilder. Just pull over when you see tents along the road where you can take a shower after swimming (a must! Cost: 3 JOD per shower). The scenery is stunning, and the swim feels more natural than at the hotels. A really cool experience.

Around 3 PM, took the scenic route after the Dead Sea toward Little Petra (1.5 hours). Don’t take the King’s Highway directly—instead, continue on the Wadi Arabia road, then turn left (Route 60) after the town of Feifa and the ‘Jo Petrol’ gas station. Worth it! Visited Little Petra in the late afternoon and had dinner + stayed overnight at the Seven Wonder Luxury Camp. TOP: warm welcome and great advice on the best order for hikes in Petra based on sunlight and avoiding backtracking. We regretted not staying two nights…

Day 3: PETRA Petra info: Not many people around, so we really enjoyed it (thanks to the geopolitical situation). We’ll share the times of our circuits since we were able to catch the sun on the key sites (9:30 AM for the Treasury). As amateur photographers, we took our time on all the visits and circuits—you can shave off about 25% of the suggested times. But rushing can ruin Petra’s magic! For us, two full days is the minimum.



First day in Petra with arrival at 7:30 AM. Free parking in front of the visitor center… Program: Siq, Khazneh (40 min), then the amazing “High Place of Sacrifice” circuit between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM, starting directly to the left before the theater. This avoids climbing in the sun (great tip from our camp host the night before!).

Arrived at the Great Temple, lunch at the ‘The Bassin’ self-service (17 JOD per person!). Expensive, but it’s a good place to rest 😉 Then visited the churches with viewpoints over the temples, accompanied by two friends 🙂, the Colonnaded Street, and the tombs (in the sun at 4 PM), the Theater… then back via the Khazneh and the Siq (another 40 min!).

Arrived at the Seven Wonder Hotel in Petra at 5 PM, exhausted!! Good hotel, simple room, but an amazing rooftop with a pool—perfect for relaxing after Petra. A car is necessary to reach the visitor center and possibly downtown for dinner (the hotel dining room isn’t cozy at all). Two great places to eat: Mr. Falafel for lunch or dinner (also makes takeaway meals for 4 JOD)—simple but delicious! My Mom's Recipe Restaurant—great decor on the terrace and really tasty food. Day 4: Little Petra to the Monastery circuit. You need a special ticket issued on the road to Little Petra (you can get there by taxi from the visitor center for 10 JOD or by shuttle), where they take you in a 4x4 to the start of the trail. This saves an hour of walking in the sun but costs 5 JOD per person. Started the trail around 8:30 AM. Count 3 hours to get all the way down. Great circuit that avoids climbing the 800 steps (just descending them!).

Before reaching the Monastery, tea break at the “End of the World Coffee” following the “best view” sign—the name isn’t exaggerated!!!! Breathtaking desert views in a charming setting. We could’ve stayed forever!

Great tip: Picnic at Petra (free tables available next to the BASIN restaurant, and sandwiches for sale—though not great—if you didn’t bring your own). Then we wandered around the site: a small circuit behind the Nabatean Restaurant with a view of the entire site, returning via the path that runs above Qasr al-Bint, the Great Temple, and the Colonnaded Street to reach the Street of Facades. This path offers another stunning view overlooking the temples and tombs. We took our time, and it was amazing… Back to Seven Wonder by 3:30 PM… The call of the pool, and we were exhausted!

Day 5: Last day in Petra with the Al Khubtha Trail circuit to see the Khazneh from above. Really fun to do (2.5-hour round trip, including 30 minutes of contemplation 😊. Best in the morning to see the Khazneh in the sun 👉 9:15 AM). Return via the tombs, and we recommend going straight up while staying left of the main path (amazing circuit with the best view of the theater—gorgeous).



Back to the car at 1 PM, lunch at Mr. Falafel, and headed to Aqaba via Little Petra and the Dead Sea (the Wadi Arabia road we loved!) to take the “Rift Valley—West Route” to Aqaba. The scenery loses its charm once you hit Route 65—we ended up regretting not taking the shorter route… but if you haven’t taken the Wadi Arabia road before, don’t miss it! Arrived at the Bedouin Garden Village at 5 PM (Aqaba, South Beach), and diving briefing 😊! Simple hotel with a great vibe and a nice little pool. However, not the cleanest (rooms and common areas)—you can tell there’s been a lack of guests lately, which is a shame because the location, decor, and atmosphere are all great. On the other hand, disappointed by the southern beaches—dirty and almost deserted, with nothing open for dinner in the evening.

Day 6-7: Morning dives (great marine life, easy shore dives with unique wrecks—cargo ship, tank, plane sunk near the shore). Lots of colorful fish, though small. Afternoons and evenings in Aqaba, which turned out to be a lively and pleasant city. Sunset drinks by the embankment near the giant flag—a great mix of local life, loud racing boats, music… we loved it. Dinner at Al Shami Restaurant—delicious, affordable, and a really nice terrace with a view of the beautiful Sharif Hussein bin Ali Mosque. Perfect lemon-mint juice!

Day 8: Two final dives in the morning, then drove to Wadi Rum (1 hour). Welcomed by Khaled and Claire from Mars on Earth (a top agency we highly recommend—they put together a “semi-custom” stay based on our schedule and desire to avoid crowds. Claire is French, which makes booking and planning ahead via email much easier). Afternoon in a private 4x4 in northern Wadi Rum to see the most famous and visited sites (lots of improbable selfies 😠!). Gorgeous sunset with Bedouin tea over the fire. Khaled is amazing, with a beautiful smile… Arrived at the tent camp for the night. Great location, unique dinner, and a fun evening around the fire with Khaled leading cool games that got everyone chatting. Beautiful tent with a view of the stars…

Day 9: Trek to Burdah Rock Bridge (3 hours)—for sporty types only, as it’s a tough climb and descent with no protection or pitons… basically climbing with just a 3-meter rope held by our guide to help us! But what an amazing memory, incredible views, and a real adventure for my 57 years! Would do it again in a heartbeat 😊!

Then headed south in Wadi Rum. Let’s just say it was our favorite area… we strongly recommend spending a full day there… Wild, red, and empty—another planet! Salem, our climbing guide, took us to wonderful spots with breathtaking views. We wished the day could’ve lasted 48 hours!



End of the day: sunset, Bedouin tea, beautiful views… Just the classics 😉, but we loved it! Then spent the night under the stars. Salem set up comfortable mattresses and thick blankets, prepared tea and dinner over the wood fire. An amazing experience—like being a kid again, with a sky so stunning we fought sleep just to keep our eyes open.

Day 10: Woke up around 7 AM after a great night under the stars! Breakfast… and then it was time to head back to Claire and Khaled’s to pick up our car. Drove to Wadi Ghuweir (2.5 hours from the King’s Highway). A truly magnificent wadi reached after a steep descent (don’t take a Fiat 500 for the climb back up!). Make sure to hike 2 hours in to reach a lush oasis with water where you can swim in the middle of the wadi… We didn’t know and stopped 15 minutes too early… I still regret it!! If there’s no water at the start of the hike, it’s because it’s flowing underground—don’t give up thinking the wadi is dry! That’s why it’s Claire’s and Family in Jordan’s favorite wadi. A must-do! Picnic in the wadi. Around 4 PM, headed to Dana—visited this tiny, unique village, half in ruins and half restored while keeping its old-world charm. Stayed overnight and had dinner at Dana Luxury Huts (amazing view with a private balcony, great triangular rooms—though the bathroom is tiny). Run by a family. Delicious food cooked by the mom. Bedouin tea after dinner around the fire—such a nice moment.

Day 11: “Sheq Al Reesh” trek in Dana Valley booked through the Luxury Huts hotel. Four hours in a totally different landscape from the desert—unique and guided by a fantastic guide who prepared a memorable lunch over a fire on the cliffside. We really loved this hike and the peacefulness of Dana. A great stop to break up the long drive back to the airport. Left Dana at 2 PM for Kerak Castle (2.5-hour drive). Nice visit, especially the underground passages. Then drove to Madaba (1.5 hours) to explore the city by night, do some last-minute shopping, and wait for our 3:30 AM flight… not fun!

Good to know:

Late October was a perfect time—temperatures between 25 and 35°C depending on location (mountains or sea), with lows of 13°C at night in Wadi Rum 👉 A fleece is enough; it’s not that cold in the desert, and the blankets are amazing. Eleven days is the perfect amount of time to take it slow, stop for "Bedouin tea" invitations in unexpected places, and soak in the colors! We don’t regret doing the trip "backwards"—starting with the Dead Sea and ending with Wadi Rum and Dana (usually, people start with the King’s Highway). We recommend the ‘Family In Jordan’ guide for those who want an easy way to find trailheads and routes. Don’t hesitate to explore multiple wadis—not just Wadi Mujib! We highly recommend Mars on Earth for organizing your Wadi Rum stay. Very professional, with great bivouac and camp locations. No pushy salespeople. Jordanians are very respectful (especially toward women), super smiley, and helpful. We felt completely at ease—almost too much so 😉 Renting a car is a great option, but if possible, choose a mid-size category with a "real" engine and check the tires. The hills are tough, and some roads turn into semi-off-road for 500 meters… No issues driving—roads are in good condition. The only problem is the aggressive speed bumps everywhere. The Dana-Madaba King’s Highway is long (4 hours). Budget varies a lot depending on your choices: from a simple lunch for 4 JOD to a dinner for 30 JOD, depending on how touristy the restaurant is… On average, 8–10 JOD for a good local or seafood dish + drink, and 30–40 JOD for a night in a hotel (except the Movenpick, unfortunately ☹). Watch out for Fridays—it’s really hard to find picnic supplies! If you’re still hesitant, the Jordan Pass is a must and very cost-effective since it includes your visa. Get it online. Consider hubs like Madrid or Frankfurt—often faster and cheaper than flying via Paris and Air France if you live in the provinces!

Hello again!

If you'd like to post non-contest photos or chat about this month's theme, this is the place! 🙂

Hey fellow travelers!

This isn’t meant to be a full-on travel journal—just a little springtime dip into the Moroccan coast (and maybe a bit more if we click).

For our third trip to this country, we set off for 8 days in early June 2025, *sure* we’d be greeted by non-stop sunshine...



...and well, that didn’t happen! The gray stuck around for a day, then two, then three (while back home in the Landes, we had gorgeous sunshine 🤦‍♂️😂).

Now, unlike us, the Morocco experts here probably already know this, but apparently, it’s pretty common—especially in spring—when the warm air from inland meets the cool ocean breeze. Locals even have to warm up with hot water bottles, can you believe it? 😄!



And of course, it had to happen now, since our plan is to follow the coast from Essaouira to Mirleft!!

Oh well, we’ll see how it goes—but luckily, this first stunning sunset made up for the weather 🌅.



See you soon to anyone who’s up for it! 😊

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to all travelers and globe-trotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m launching a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of this journal will focus on opening up to the world, embracing differences, travel, global cultures, and more.

I’m putting out a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a postcard (from France or anywhere in the world)! The goal is to help us "travel" and discover new places, countries, and horizons in a way that’s much more fun and exciting than a geography textbook. One section of our journal could be called "We received a letter from ," where we’d research the location and share what we learn with our readers—a really enriching activity for the classroom.

The project starts in September 2025 but doesn’t have a strict end date, since this journal and world-discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in the ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! The kids will find them when they return.

I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible, and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow travelers. Help us dream and explore!

For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!

Thank you in advance for your participation! Below is our address. If you’d like us to write back, feel free to leave your address on a corner of the postcard! 😊

ULIS program students Bonnat Elementary School 12 rue Georges Sand 23220 BONNAT Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon! 😊 Julien 🙂

During our first road trip across the United States, we covered 23,000 km and crossed 28 states in 53 days.

Originally, we had planned to drive Route 66 all the way to Oatman in Arizona and visit various national parks in the American West over a two-month period.

This itinerary was planned before our departure, and all the relevant information had been gathered to stick to the schedule.

Everything went so smoothly that we finished visiting the national parks well ahead of our planned return date.

It helped that having a bed, a portable toilet, and a cooler in our vehicle gave us some autonomy since we didn’t have to worry about accommodation.

So, we decided to extend our road trip to the cities of Nashville and Memphis in Tennessee.

We then headed to Louisiana to visit Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

We crossed Mississippi and Alabama before driving along Florida’s west coast all the way to Key West.

We returned via Florida’s east coast and then crossed the eastern U.S. states to get back to Quebec through the Jackman border crossing in Maine.

So, I invite you to keep reading this long recap, which will let you discover the different attractions we visited throughout this amazing journey.

Videos are included throughout the recap. Click on the image to start the video.

Hi there,

Do you have any advice about accommodation? Which neighborhood?

What’s something original to see?

And any other useful tips... thanks

Hi there,

We’re a family with kids aged 10 and 12, and we’ll be in Sri Lanka during the Kandy Esala Perahera. I’d love to know if it’s really worth prioritizing the procession on the final night—is it that different? What do the other nights miss out on? From what I’ve gathered, you can watch for free if you’re okay with sitting on the ground, which isn’t an issue for us. In that case, is it still easy to get a good view? We’ll be coming from Jaffna—are train tickets to Kandy harder to get during the Perahera? Also, August 8th is a public holiday. Do trains still run on public holidays?

Thanks in advance for your tips! !

Hi, we’re planning to visit Bryce and Zion from Page—what order do you think works best? Given our schedule, we’ll be leaving Page on a Sunday early afternoon. We were thinking of heading to Bryce first (are there a lot of "photo stops"?) to spend the night there. We’ve got a slight preference for Bryce as our first road trip stop and were planning to spend all day Monday there. Is that too much time for Bryce? Then on Tuesday, we’d like to get closer to Zion, drive through it, and head back to Vegas—is that doable? What else could we fit in that day with a return to Las Vegas? Thanks in advance for your tips!
