Dear Traveler: If the primary condition for you in the art of travel is that all unknown things are listed in a detailed and organized manner; or conversely, you believe that novelty is an indispensable joy in traveling and the greatest pleasure of living in a foreign land, please immerse yourself in the chapters of this travel guide.
First, this guidebook, despite its limited size, provides you with a comprehensive and detailed overview of this region. This will be your first journey through these words, and your actual trip will be equally rich and varied.
Second, this booklet will become your loyal, cautious, and reliable companion, guiding you through bustling streets and alleys, participating in sometimes challenging folk festivals and celebrations, and navigating maze-like markets without getting lost.
The writers of this guidebook are deeply fond of islands, love prairies, are enchanted by snow, and dream of paradise. We are journalists, writers, translators, art critics, filmmakers, university students, and professors from various travel regions. Of course, there are also professional travelers, former UN peacekeepers, and a handful of eccentric geniuses living on the fringes of society! Our group has gathered a circle of global travelers: French, Italian, Spanish, American, Bolivian, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Canadian, and Lebanese—all French speakers. From these geniuses, we have drawn the essence, cultivating passion to form a personalized, even unique, writing style, which benefits the guidebook as well.
This travel series, written in multiple languages, is like the Tower of Babel in the Bible—grand but never fully completed. We hope to create a flexible and adaptable series, rather than one bound by rigid rules. This series clearly depicts the realities of life, faithfully recounting the full scope of landscapes. It loves the old bricks and mortar and the vibrant colors of the markets, and it never shies away from anything.
When writing a travel guide, everything must be included, and the most important information for modern travelers is found on our pages: real life, cultural customs, and adventurous experiences. Of course, there is much more.
After presenting the entire journey—this is the purpose of every guidebook—the decision to set off is yours. Whether you are who you are, a well-prepared traveler or an experienced adventurer, a university student or a retiree, and regardless of how you travel—whether with family or friends, traveling in a group or alone—you can choose the best way for you to live in a foreign land.
