Wat That Luang in winter 2025

Foreign visitors to Laos are very likely to arrive or depart by plane from Vientiane Airport, the capital.

It would be a shame not to spend some time in the …

Plain of jars in winter 2025

The conditions of access to Phonsavan have changed a lot since March 2023 when B.J Esporo Guerrero went there, since it took us 11 hours in an off-road car on …

Luang Prabang (Inscribed)

Luang Prabang in winter 2025

The previous reviews leave me somewhat perplexed. Of course, this was my first time travelling in Southeast Asia and I had never visited an Asian colonial city before, so I …

Versailles gardens designed by André Le Nôtre

Versailles (Inscribed)

Versailles in 2008 & 2021

One day is not enough to visit the grounds and palaces of Versailles, especially for those who would like to visit the interiors. We did it once with the children …

Parque Nacional de Garajonay in winter 2023

As mentioned in the introduction to this website's page, I'm surprised by the lack of interest in Garajonay National Park, as I personally found it extraordinary from a geological and …

La Palma island in winter 2024 - Santa Cruz

Having thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the islands of Tenerife and La Gomera in winter 2023, we decided to repeat the experience on the island of La Palma, still in …

Teide-Pico Viejo

Teide National Park (Inscribed)

El Teide in winter 2023

Like Hubert, we fled the cold and damp of the Belgian capital in the winter of 2023 to warm up in the Canary Islands. We left our hotel in the …

Palacio de Nava

San Cristobal de La Laguna (Inscribed)

San Cristobal de La Laguna in winter 2023

We took a local bus from the hills above Los Cristianos to Santa Cruz. The outskirts of Santa Cruz and the bus station weren't very appealing, so we didn't linger …

The main facade of the cathedral

Laon (Removed from tentat…)

Cathédrale de Laon en 2023

My wife and I believe that, along with Chartres, Laon Cathedral is one of the most beautiful in France. We stopped there several times. Was it its silhouette perched atop …

Courtyard of the Fountain

Fontainebleau (Inscribed)

Château de Fontainebleau en 2023

From a practical standpoint, camping under the pine trees near Milly-la-Forêt allows you to tick off the WHS for the Palace and Park of Fontainebleau and the Domaine de Fontainebleau …

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (On tentative list)

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Unlike Wojciech, when we arrived at the castle, the parking lot was deserted! It must be said that it had rained a lot the day before...

If there's one classical-style …

Castillo Loarre

Loarre Castle (On tentative list)

Loarre Castle

As I am the first member of WHS.org to write about Loarre Castle, I will quickly describe the monument.

The Romanesque castle-abbey, dating from the 11th century, is located approximately …

Carcassone from the "Pont Vieux"

Fortified City of Carcassonne (Inscribed)

Fortified City of Carcassonne in 2023

There are 14 texts before mine and the vast majority of them are rather positive.

I had already visited the walled city as a child with my parents and then …

Barge on the canal

Canal du Midi (Inscribed)

Canal du midi between Castelnaudary and Toulouse

A WHS as we like them because, like the Loire Valley, it combines nature, culture and sport!

And since we don't have sea legs, we traveled it by bike in …

Archiepiscopal city of Albi

Albi (Inscribed)

Albi in 2023

Another WHS site in France, another Gothic cathedral.

With its original features, Sainte-Cécile d'Albi has nothing to do with the one in Bourges, which we visited the same year. Where …

Apse of Bourges cathedral

Bourges Cathedral (Inscribed)

Bourges cathédral in 2023

It's not easy to reach the old town of Bourges by mobile home. We had to leave it at the bottom of town along the Auron River and walk back …

The basilica seen from Asquins

Vézelay (Inscribed)

Vézelay in 2023

We visited the Vézelay basilica 20 years after Solivagant, but my wife and I had already done it 15 years earlier, hitchhiking.

At that time, the common thread of our …

Mudejar architecture in Zaragoza

Perhaps I don't quite share the same enthusiasm as my predecessors because we were less lucky? We had decided to stay at the municipal campsite in Zaragoza, which was nice …

Schokland island: the shock!

There are sites that, despite their seemingly innocuous appearance, hide a striking reality!

We visited the site of the former Schokland Island in August 2024. What a shock!

We had …
