The new Tripoli of Africa

For years Tripoli would make the headlines, under the rubric « troublemaker » in the so-called international scene. Vilified for a long time, the capital of Libya is finally freeing itself of its satanic reputation to today aspire to the title of mentor to the whole of the Mediterranean.

Entre vignes et mer dans les Cinque Terre.

Entre Porto Fino au nord et La Spezia au Sud, cinq « terres » ou bourgs sont accrochés aux éperons rocheux de la côte ligure. Ici entre ciel et mer, c’est le vignoble ou plutôt le vin qui a façonné à la fois l’histoire,les coeurs et les paysages! Havre de paix au coeur d’une Riviera italienne toujours plus turbulente, les Cinque Terre font partie du patrimoine mondial depuis 1997.

L’Australie est décidément un pays incroyable ! Jusqu’en 1983, malgré la taille conséquente du site (750 km2 tout de même), seuls les aborigènes de la région et quelques éleveurs locaux connaissaient cette merveille géologique.

They are so obsessed with bathing they’ve turned the tub into a shrine.Today, resorts with thermal baths attract more people than the beaches.

Petra and its little secret paths.

Petra is one of these rare places in the world that you have the impression to know without ever been to before.There is the Petra of Hollywood, the one that Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his father (Sean Connery) discover, riding, in the Steven Spielberg’s movie, « Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade ». Or the Petra of Tintin with the Khazneh temple, drawn by Hergé in a scene from « Coke en stock ». There is also, for sure, the touristy Petra, the one that the groups discover between the Siq, the Khazneh and the royal temples in less than three hours, constantly rushed by adisillusioned guide. But above all, there is also the Petra with its small forgotten paths, its secret canyons and its discreet temples.
