The ViaRhôna by bike

The ViaRhôna, an 815 km cycle route that sets off from the shores of Lake Geneva, following the Rhône all the way to the Mediterranean. From the Ain to the Bouches-du-Rhône, we meet collectors, sports enthusiasts and nature-lovers, those who cycle for pleasure and, sometimes, those who cycle for work.

Australia, en-route for the ocean

Australia, an immense country-continent of some 7,690,000 km2. Sophie Jovillard takes us from Sydney to Melbourne, two of the country's most emblematic cities. We meet a population of nature-lovers. Which is hardly surprising given that both cities lie on the coast and are surrounded by nature at its most unspoilt.
