Real trips, in their own words.
On avait un peu d'appréhension à partir en Arménie sans rien connaître, et finalement c'est le voyage le plus simple qu'on ait fait. Tout était calé : l'hôtel à Dilijan, notre chauffeur Aram (un amour), la dégustation à Areni. Le téléphérique de Tatev, on en parle encore.
Eight days and I don't think we wasted one. Our guide knew every monastery inside out and quietly slowed the pace when my husband's knee started complaining. Lunch by Lake Sevan, Noravank at golden hour, still thinking about it weeks later.
À la retraite, on voulait du calme, pas un marathon. Ils ont tout adapté sans broncher. Et l'accueil des gens… on nous a invités à prendre le café chez l'habitant près de Goris, je n'avais jamais vu ça ailleurs.
