Travelling the world means covering it in small steps, meeting others, observing the environment you pass through, just next door or further afield. On foot, by train, by bus, by bike or on a map, each country has its own unique geography, shaped by terrain, climate, history and customs past and present. Along the way, everyone is looking for an emotional moment, the chance of an encounter, the unique adventure of a moment. Life as a journey.
In this section, webzine.voyage offers you an editorial itinerary structured around geographical areas – France, Europe and the World – and nomadic chronicles to reflect the diversity of our destinations, while providing you with practical, cultural and cartographic reference points.
From the shores of the Mediterranean to the farthest reaches of the world, from the backstreets of Avignon to the mountains of the Alps, travelling is first and foremost about learning to look at the land. Whether you’re dreaming of a short break or a long-haul getaway, this section offers an overview of destinations, designed as both a practical map and an invitation to discover.
As the months go by, each article tries to highlight the specific features of the region: local geography, local mobility, accommodation options, the surrounding countryside, cultural suggestions and favourites. A travel diary for understanding landscapes as much as for exploring them, as a way of mapping the places we (re)discover.

Exploring France
France boasts a diversity of landscapes, regional cultures and heritages that make it a destination in its own right. Alpine mountains, Atlantic coastlines, hilltop villages in the south, countryside in the centre, dynamic metropolises… each region, each country, each catchment area offers a unique geography. It is also a land of contrasts: mountain ranges, hedged farmland, wide plains, world cities or forgotten villages, changing coastlines or unspoilt nature parks.
In this chronicle of France, you’ll find suggestions for trips across several major regions:
Occitanie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Île-de-France, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Corsica and the Overseas Territories, as well as a possible focus on France’s metropolises and cities: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Sète and many others.
We offer you portraits of regions and territories, often on a small scale: a village, a path, a train line, a know-how, a rural town, a particular district. From the Pyrenees to the Vosges, from the Morvan to inland Brittany, each area is presented as an experience to be enjoyed without forgetting the postcard. Between standardised tourism and hazardous adventure, people in France are looking for emotion, history and a certain slowness…

Travelling in Europe
Within easy reach by road, bus, train, ferry, bike or plane, Europe is an area of cultural contrasts and geographical proximity. Urban itineraries intersect with natural panoramas, traditions coexist with innovations, and history can be read in both heritage and encounters.
Europe is the promise of an accessible journey, at the crossroads of history, cultures and landscapes. With a predilection for neighbouring countries as areas of proximity for soft mobility, heritage discovery and encounters with other humanities: so many places to evoke with care, contextualised in their natural, social and cultural but also practical framework.
The countries featured in this section invite you to come up with a variety of holidays to suit your tastes:
Italy and its cities of art, Spain between the Alhambra and the Mediterranean Sea, Germany and its rivers, Greece between archaeology and islands, Switzerland for mountain lovers. Flagship cities, natural sites, mythical places and less-frequented destinations are all on offer, to suit your tastes.
Each destination is considered from the point of view of accessible transport(train in Europe, road, bus, bike or even plane), the seasons to visit and the specific areas to visit for your trip.
