France: 3 Days In The North Of Ardeche

Beautiful villages made of old stones, a nature in an almost wild state, hilly lands, gorges that criss-cross the land… Here I am in Ardeche!
During 3 days, I could discover the north of Ardèche in road trip with 3 other bloggers. Between discovery of the local soil, cultural stroll, hike in nature and bike tour, we could have easily spent several days there, to discover all the touristic jewels which are hidden in this department.
If you want to spend a long weekend or enrich your stay, here is how to spend 3 days in the north of Ardèche!

Brussels: Spring walk in Hallerbos

Every year, between mid-April and early May, Hallerbos is transformed into an enchanting place: a blue forest covered with wild hyacinths. The place attracts a lot of people, and certainly photography enthusiasts, as the scenery is so amazing! For the first time, we decided to go for a walk in Hallerbos to admire the hyacinths that everyone is talking about.

Brussels: a walk in the streets of Schaerbeek

Schaerbeek is a municipality full of places full of history, small art nouveau architectural nuggets, beautiful churches and also a magnificent Josaphat park. Without a doubt, Schaerbeek deserves to be part of your next itinerary or detour in Brussels. To discover Schaerbeek on foot, I suggest a musical itinerary to discover the neighborhoods of Schaerbeek.

Dinant: Discovering the castles of Walzin, Vêves and Freÿr

These last few months, I’ve been traveling around Belgium to discover some beautiful places.

One of my most beautiful discoveries of the year is the castles in Belgium! Today, I’m taking you to discover some of the castles around Dinant, in Wallonia. Let’s discover the castles of Walzin, Vêves and Freÿr.

Belgium: A weekend in Leuven

Streets full of bicycles, café terraces full of students, this is the atmosphere I discover when I arrive in Leuven. Located in the heart of Flemish Brabant, Leuven is a small Belgian architectural jewel to visit but also a lively, welcoming and human-sized university town to experience. I spent two days in Leuven with my friend Marine. An escapade between friends, halfway between our homes, Brussels and Liege. In this article, I come back on our weekend in Leuven to share itinerary and tips to visit the city.

Croatia Roadtrip Itinerary: from Dubrovnik to Plitvice

I have been to Croatia several times and it has always been fantastic. Roadtrip in Croatia are a perfect way to discover the country and to discover each little Adriatic jewel… In September 2017, I did an eight-day roadtrip from South to North. Departing from Dubrovnik, in the south of the country, up to Plitvice National park, we drove more than 700 kilometres along the Dalmatian coast, between sea and natural parks.

Mljet: The Croatian green island

Mljet is one of my most beautiful discoveries in Croatia. This “green island” is a huge natural park located in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. The island is not too big but allows you to spend several days immersed in a dream setting: in the middle of nature, crystal clear waters and incredible landscapes!

Two-week travel itinerary in Vietnam: All you need to know

Vietnam is a surprising country by its people, its culture, its landscapes but especially by its way of living: at its own pace and with its own rules. It’s a journey you may have been planning for months, it quickly becomes a great adventure full of surprises.
For me, Vietnam turned out to be an unexpected journey, a journey of wonderful encounters, smiles, confrontations but also unexpected moments that transformed these two weeks in Vietnam in an incredible journey !

Portraits of Vietnam

The the richness of all my travels often comes down to meeting the other. Because, for me, going on a trip also means discovering the culture of the country by meeting its inhabitants. During my short stay in Vietnam, I met people who were rich in emotion and sharing. I want to share these few portraits to pay tribute to these people I had the chance to meet. To show their beauty and their differences. Behind each of these photos hides an exchange, sometimes brief, sometimes more intimate. Some people smile while waiting to receive something in return, others take a break after talking with you for hours…
