Mascarenes: Réunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues – From the Pitons to the Lagoons
12/06/2020
In the Mascarene Islands
Three pearls in the southern Indian Ocean
Situated at the southern end of the Indian Ocean there are a few islands that are close geographically, each with such different characters. First of all, Réunion Island, politically French territory with multiple cultural influences, it offers a very volcanic landscape – out of the ordinary with fantastic possibilities for walks and hikes around the famous Pitons culminating at 3,070 metres of altitude! Further east, Mauritius, a former British colony, with its superb coast offers many activities (beach, water sports, diving, snorkelling), there are the well-known tourist parts but also wilder parts such as the south coast. Finally the island of Rodrigues even further east, which has retained its authenticity and offers some of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. What could be better than to combine them during an exceptional trip.A colourful road trip in New England

In New England
In autumn, travel along wonderful little roads and witness an explosion of colours
In the autumn in New England, nature sets itself on fire, the leaves turn orange and red, and the spectacle becomes magical. Make sure to keep an eye on the road as your attention is captured by each tree, grove, or hill. And when the red finally fades, it is to make way for the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean and its beautiful coast. This hilly region of the United States, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, is ideal for a slow and contemplative road trip.Crete between the sea and the mountains

In Oman
Explore mountains, beaches, deserts and enjoy the exotic spices of this amazing cultural crossroads
The Sultanate of Oman is exceptional in more than one way in this region of the world. The Omanis welcome you to their tradional world which is now slowly opening. The spectacular geography of their country takes you from the remote Empty Quarter to the mountain ranges — some exceeding 3,000 metres — via superb and empty coasts. A history flavoured by the multiple cultures of Zanzibar, Iran, and India. All this makes Oman a country apart and to be explored in detail by those who are fascinated by the world of Philby, Thomas, Thesiger, and Morris.The Breath of Life and Nature in Scotland

In Scotland
From the gusts of the Highlands to the ocean spray, take a deep breath
Little by little Scotland ensconces itself in our hearts and souls. The Scottish beauty and charm is gently finding its way into our beings. From the joie de vivre in the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the awe-inspiring landscapes and coasts of the Hebrides, Orkney or Shetland, this country invokes a wide range of emotional responses all the while leaving a great sense of tranquility. We love to create tailor-made itineraries that include cities, valleys, fjords, estuaries and coasts by taking buses, trains, ferries and walking paths. These trips become a collection of real little journeys, quickly evolving changes of scenery leaving you with still and haunting images.
