Three years after our first Icelandic road-trip, where we stayed in the south, we wanted to go back. This time the idea was to see what we had left out: the north, the eastern fjords, the Landmannalaugar highlands and above all the Westfjords, that shredded peninsula in the west where almost nobody goes.

The goal was to make the most of the Bastille Day long weekend. We initially planned to climb the Dents de Lanfon, but the weather was too hot with the heatwave. So we changed our plans for the Pointe Percée via the Voie du Trou.

Some trips leave a lasting impression, and this one certainly did. Four days cycling along the Loire, covering significant distances, admiring majestic châteaux, enjoying leisurely lunches, and staying in charming accommodations. An itinerary that lets you traverse a stunning region at a gentle pace, taking the time to soak in the surroundings.

We spent a few days in Andalusia, between Seville, Córdoba and the mountains of Frigiliana. Seville # The Andalusian capital asserts itself with its white facades and ubiquitous blue faience tiles.

At the end of last August, five of us completed the Tour du Mont Blanc: my girlfriend, my brother, my sister and her boyfriend, and myself. It was our first multi-day trek in full autonomy, carrying tents and a stove. The classic TMB route crosses three countries—France, Italy, and Switzerland—around the Mont Blanc massif, covering about 170 km.
