The world’s largest continent, Asia stretches to the borders of Europe, America, Africa and Oceania. It is marked by the diversity of its landscapes, cultures and religions. From the temples of Angkor to the palaces of the maharajahs, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the beaches of Bali, many treasures await you.

On this continent, languages abound, from Mandarin to Hindi, as do religions: Islam, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism… A diversity of peoples and cultures, too, as Asia is characterized by an abundance of ethnic minorities of Turko-Mongolian, Tibeto-Burman or even Austronesian origin. The continent is also distinguished by its geographical variety, with continental or tropical climates, mountainous reliefs or alluvial plains, arid deserts or humid forests. Finally, Asia offers an incredible diversity of tourist sites and activities: come and taste the delicious Thai cuisine, visit Japan’s most beautiful temples or sail on the mythical Mekong River…

As you can see, Asia has many faces. From the Andaman Sea to the Bali Sea, travel to the heart of Southeast Asia, a region of smiling peoples, fascinating temples and lush landscapes. A land of a thousand and one nights, India is a country that dreams travellers the world over. In search of spirituality? Why not discover Nepal and its Hindu temples, set in one of the world’s most impressive mountain ranges? A trip to China is above all a discovery of mythical places, from the Forbidden City to the Great Terracotta Army, but it’s also an introduction to traditions that go back thousands of years. Japan, too, is a land of traditions, where you can still meet geishas in Kyoto and sleep in ryokan after taking advantage of the hot springs. Follow the Silk Road and travel through a marvellous Orient, from the fortresses of Turkmenistan to the superb mosques of Uzbekistan, or plunge into the Arabia of tales and legends with a visit to the Sultanate of Oman. Asia is the guarantee of a change of scenery, in a thousand and one different ways!
