No need for a passport or a visa here , several kilometers behind the wheels of your vehicle are enough to escape and feel like you have left the french territory.

1/ It feels like Austria… In Annecy (Haute-Savoie)

Take advantage of your week-end to discover the wonderful annécienne region. Located in Haute-Savoie and surrounded by mountains, Annecy is as charming as an austrian city.

2/ It feels like Thailand… the Cascades de Tufs (Jura)

A time difference of 5 hours and 13000 kms separate us from Thailand… But going to Baume-Les-Messieurs in the Jura will allow you to enjoy some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Europe.

3/ It feel like the Seychelles… the Lavezzi islands (South Corsica)

Small creeks, sandy beaches, llong walks… isn’t it relaxing ?  #relaxation

4/ It feels like Ireland … in Etretat (Normandy)

This impressive scenery reminds us the high cliffs of Ireland. Some oysters can even be harvested when the tide is low !

5/ It feels like New-York… in la Défense (île de France)

This commercial district in Paris offers a nice architecture as impressive as some of the biggest megalopolis of the world. You will find there more than a hundred massive buildings, 11 hectares of parks etc…
