We can already hear the coyotes yelping as night falls on these ocher wastes. No cowboys on the horizon, however, because this Far West is entirely Made in France. It is located not far from Avignon and is a delight for hikers who want to be amazed!
Cappadocia… or Pyrenees Orientales?

No need to get a stiff neck staring at the sky in the hope of seeing a hot air balloon there, we are not in Turkey but in the heart of the Pyrenees. These massive rocks, which are called ” fairy chimneyss” can be seen on the site of the Organs of Ille-sur-Têt. We owe their breathtaking architecture to wind erosion.
Halong Bay…or the Verdon Gorge?

No floating market in sight, but imposing rocks that take root in the clear water… We are not in Vietnam (we could have!) but in Provence. Crowded in summer, the Gorges du Verdon remain a magnificent landscape to discover in the low season. How to feel small.

Close your eyes, smell the spray, listen to the song of the seagulls… Or is it the sound of the bagpipes? No, rest assured, your ears are not letting you down. We really are in Brittany, in Belle-île to be exact. When the weather is fine, this jewel of Morbihan offers turquoise waters worthy of the most paradisiacal archipelagos.
Angkor… or Hauterives?

At first glance, one might think that this is a Cambodian temple. Yet this is not the case: this unusual monument is located in the Drôme, in Hauterives. Its architecture is at the pinnacle of its history. For 33 years, a postman named Ferdinand Cheval collected on his laps stones whose singular shapes attracted his attention. He accumulated them to compose his ideal palace, classified as a historical monument since 1969.
