Asterix and the Peoples of the World: A Book in the Footsteps of the Indomitable Gauls

by

Since the birth of Astérix in 1959, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, its two creators, have driven the indomitable Gauls on countless journeys. They have traversed a large portion of the ancient world: from Italy to Hispania, from Brittany to Corsica, not to mention lands even farther afield. The Astérix albums have always accorded a significant place to landscapes, to peoples, to traditions, and to History. It is this link between comics and geography that Astérix and the Peoples of the World highlights, a GEO beau-livre (coffee-table book) available from September 16, 2026.

Over 128 pages, GEO magazine’s reporters set out to seek the real-world places and elements that helped shape the Astérix universe. A journey that leads them notably to Lusitania, to the lands of the Picts, to ancient Rome, and to Corsica.

When Astérix’s Albums Meet the Real World

The originality of the work rests on a dialogue between the comic-book pages and the photographs taken by GEO’s reporters.

On one side, the images from the albums narrate a reimagined ancient world through the humor and imagination of their creators. On the other, the photographs allow readers to discover, in today’s world, certain landscapes, traditions or vestiges that fed this imagination.

Fabcaro and Didier Conr ad unveil the behind-the-scenes of the creation

The book also gives a voice to those who today bring to life the adventures of the famous moustached Gaul. In an exclusive interview, the screenwriter Fabcaro and the artist Didier Conr ad, the current custodians of the Astérix character, recount their creative process and their approach to travel in the latest albums they worked on: L’iris blanc (published in 2023) and Astérix in Lusitania (published in 2025).

How does one document a narrative set in a distant era and territories? What role should be accorded to historical and geographical references? And what characterizes Astérix and Obélix as they become, through the albums, true travelers?

At the crossroads of the art book, the travelogue and the comic, Astérix and the Peoples of the World thus speaks to both fans of the universe created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo and to lovers of comics, of history and of travel.

Astérix: Meeting the Peoples, available from September 16, 2026, in press and in bookstores, at a price of €19.95.

MSC Cruises: MSC World Europa in the Mediterranean and MSC World Asia in the Caribbean for Winter 2027-2028

Le MSC World Asia proposera lors de l’hiver 2027-2028 des croisières de sept et quatorze nuits au départ de Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre et Bridgetown @MSC

Hurtigruten


The MSC World Europa will not be heading to the Middle East during the 2027-2028 winter season. MSC Cruises has decided to keep its vessel in the Western Mediterranean, where it will offer seven-night itineraries.

The company is thus making a substantial adjustment to its original program. Marseille will be among the embarkation ports for the MSC World Europa, alongside calls planned in Barcelona, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Messina, and Valletta.

This retention strengthens MSC Cruises’ winter offering from France. It also confirms the company’s intention to operate one of its newest ships in the Mediterranean year-round, a vessel that entered service in 2022.


The MSC World Asia will serve the French Antilles

The scope of movement is not limited to the Mediterranean. The MSC World Asia, due to enter service in December 2026, will head to the southern Caribbean for the winter of 2027-2028.

The new vessel will offer seven- and fourteen-night cruises from Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre, and Bridgetown.

The itineraries may notably include calls in Saint Lucia, Grenada, Saint Martin, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, as well as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

This positioning will give French and Caribbean markets direct access to MSC Cruises’ new flagship. The MSC World Asia will notably incorporate some elements already present on other ships in the World class, to which will be added new attractions such as Cliffhanger, a swing installed above the sea.

Bookings initially made aboard the MSC Meraviglia will be transferred to the MSC World Asia. Customers will be contacted individually if this substitution also affects their itinerary.

Tiny Pacific Nation Renames Itself, Redrawing World Maps

by

On Pacific maps, the name of a tiny island state could soon be not quite the same. The change is official and will gradually ripple through administrative documents, international databases, and certain materials used by travelers. Yet, in this country of only 21 square kilometres, the chosen name is nothing new, as it has long been used by the local population. A decision that aims in particular to align the country’s international name more closely with its history and language.

An Ancient Name Reclaiming Its Official Place

Situated northeast of Australia, in the Pacific, Nauru is one of the smallest countries on the planet. Its territory consists of a single coral island covering nearly 21 square kilometres, where around 12,000 people live. While its name is today well known in a form inherited from the colonial history, the inhabitants have long used another designation in their national language: Naoero.

It is precisely this latter form that has just been officialized: the country is now the Republic of Naoero. The government explains that the previous international form had mainly taken hold because foreign speakers had difficulty pronouncing the traditional name correctly. Over time, it would thus have evolved to give the form “Nauru,” which has become familiar to outsiders. The difference concerns more than spelling. The pronunciation traditionally used outside the country, “Now-roo,” now gives way to the pronunciation of Naoero, “Now-ero.”

The president David Adeang had championed this evolution when he proposed officially changing the country’s name. He stated in an official release that this decision would allow us to “more faithfully honor the heritage, language and identity of our nation”. “Today, we have the opportunity to bring our name home”, he also declared.

The move sits within a broader aim of strengthening the use of the indigenous language and reaffirming a distinct national identity. The island has indeed experienced several periods of foreign domination: annexed by Germany at the end of the 19th century, later placed under administration led notably by Australia, before attaining independence in 1968.

The name Naoero, for its part, already appeared on the national coat of arms. It should now progressively replace the old designation in official documents, national symbols, on aircraft and ships. The inhabitants themselves will adopt the official designation, and will henceforth be called “dei-Naoero”.

Travelers will have to get used to seeing two names on maps

For visitors, this change should however not provoke a radical shift. One should mainly expect a transition period during which both appellations may appear simultaneously. Airlines, booking platforms, maps, travel guides and international databases will indeed need to update their information gradually.

One of the more tangible changes concerns the international code assigned to the country. It will move from NRU to NRO. Travelers should not expect their plane tickets or baggage tags to change in the same way, as Naoero International Airport will retain its IATA code INU.

The aviation sector is also beginning to adopt the new terminology. A government communication published in August 2026 thus designates the national airline as “Naoero Airlines,” although the designation Nauru Airlines remains in use during the transition period.

This shift is not an isolated case. Several states have recently requested that their international name correspond more closely to their own language or national identity. In 2018, Swaziland officially adopted the name Eswatini. Four years later, the United Nations and other international organizations began to use Türkiye instead of Turkey, at the request of Turkish authorities.

Comparable efforts have also affected place names tied to colonial history in the United States. In Alaska, the town of Barrow reclaimed its traditional name Utqiaġvik in 2016. In Yellowstone National Park, Mount Doane was renamed First Peoples Mountain in 2022, while Mount Evans in Colorado became Mount Blue Sky in 2023 after several years of consultations.

Verona, Italy: The World Capital of Opera

Hurtigruten


At the Verona Arena, opera enthusiasts often come seeking spectacular stagings and grand international voices. This year again, for the 103rd edition of the Festival of Lyric Art, they were well served!

At first glance, the contemporary staging of Nabucco (Verdi’s opera) conceived by the Italian Stefano Poda sometimes raised concerns: thus on August 8th, not all the seats were taken, while the following evening they were packed for Aïda (also Verdi) presented through Franco Zeffirelli’s monumental and historical staging, with luminaries of the lyric art such as the Franco-Italian tenor Roberto Alagna.

Nevertheless, this Nabucco ultimately won over the audience. Beyond its bold staging, Foda handled the sets (pared-down), the costumes and the lighting. A holistic approach.


Verona: a Nabucco full of surprises

Far from the classic historical recreations of the clash between the Hebrews and the Assyrians that underpin Nabucco, Foda’s staging was rich with symbols, surprises, and special effects.

In terms of scenery, two mobile luminous half-spheres; and also a structure imitating an ancient water clock dominated by the word “Vanitas” from which descended a grand staircase. The staircase periodically gave way to a light cascade, a symbol of the hubris that leads humanity to its downfall.

The audience’s reactions (shouts and applause) were sometimes startling. In particular when a spectacular nuclear explosion, with a mushroom cloud, sounded just as the Babylonian king Nabucco, struck by lightning, plunged into madness after proclaiming himself a god.

Throughout the evening, the choreography of the extras and dancers (in sometimes fluorescent costumes), clocked to the millimeter, perfectly matched the music.

Regarding the famous slave chorus (“Va, pensiero”), impressive in its cohesion and power, it faithfully captured the Hebrews’ longing for freedom.

The principal performers were also of exceptional quality, especially the Italian soprano Marta Torbidoni (as Abigaïlle), the Russian bass Alexandre Vinogradov (as the High Priest of the Hebrews) as well as the German mezzo-soprano Anna Werle who sang Fenena. By contrast, despite his vocal gifts, the South Korean baritone Youngjun Park did not always render the Babylonian king convincingly.


An exceptional setting

In any case, this Nabucco reaffirmed Verona’s status as a must-visit for opera lovers.

Its antique Arènes, extraordinary in scale, aim to serve this ambition: completed in 30 CE, originally equipped with three concentric walls, they are the third-largest in the world after the Colosseum in Rome and the Amphitheatre in Capua.

Located on Praça Brà, in the city center, they are among Italy’s best-preserved ancient edifices.

True, the violent 1117 earthquake did cause significant damage, notably destroying much of their outer third wall. But since the 16th century, they have benefited from several restorations.


Since 1913, they have hosted the Lyric Art Festival in the summer, and the rest of the year host concerts and events such as the arrival of the final stage of the Giro d’Italia.

During the day, they are open for visits (12 €, excluding reduced rates). A chance not to miss to appreciate the expanse of the cavea, the height of the upper tiers, and the breadth of the internal galleries. Be aware, in summer, book in advance!


Past as a circus, today as an opera stage

In the past, these Arenas could welcome all of Verona’s inhabitants. Circus games and gladiator combats also drew crowds from across Veneto.

Now, these Arenas enjoy incredible prestige with a knowledgeable audience eager to hear the world’s greatest voices: in the past Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti; today Anna Netrebko, Jonas Kaufmann, Ludovic Tézier, Roberto Alagna and many others… Yet the vast space (over 20,000 seats), its distinctive acoustics, and the requirement to sing outdoors pose a demanding vocal challenge.

Paradoxically, the renowned Franco-Italian tenor Roberto Alagna did not sing there for the first time until July 2022 (as Don José in Carmen), but since then he has returned regularly. This summer, he embodied Radamès, the hero of Aida, Verdi’s opera, for two evenings.

Created in 1871, this work is one of Verona’s fetish titles: has it not been revived for 63 seasons, totaling 749 performances?


An Aida that succeeds, though a touch grandiloquent

For this 2026 edition, Aïda was presented in Franco Zeffirelli’s staging. The contrast was at least striking with Foda’s more minimalist approach for Nabucco! Yet Verona’s genius lies in drawing in directors with very different styles and in pleasing audiences just as varied.

In any case, this production once again stood out for its grandiose reconstructions of ancient Egypt, its pharaonic sets (so large that they had to be stored outside the Arenas and a crane used to install them!), its golden pyramids, its shimmering costumes, and its expansive crowd scenes…

On August 9, despite the oppressive heat not doing it any favors, Roberto Alagna performed Radamès, the victorious commander of the Egyptian army, with fervor, alongside his wife, Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak, who portrayed the Ethiopian princess Aida, enslaved by Egypt.

The generosity and on-stage chemistry of this couple shone through their portrayal of the impossible and tragic love at the heart of their characters. They delivered memorable emotional moments—vigorous applause—along with Alagna’s courage and mature performance, notably in the first act with the aria Celeste Aida (long applause), which helped mask some minor fatigue in the higher registers.

Craving Silence While Traveling? The 10 Quietest Countries in the World

by

What if silence had become one of travel’s new luxuries? Far from megacities, crowded highways, noisy infrastructure, and destinations saturated with visitors, some countries still offer landscapes where human presence seems almost forgotten. A recent ranking by Go2Africa sought to identify places most conducive to this pause, cross-referencing population density, tourist traffic, and infrastructure. The result? The top ten countries in the ranking hold a few surprises and give pride of place to vast wild spaces.

Africa dominates the top spots in the ranking

With six countries among the ten premiers, Africa is by far the best-represented continent in the list. Namibia comes in second, with a tranquility score of 86.69 out of 100. Its vast desert expanse holds only 3.83 inhabitants per square kilometer, while the tourist density stands at just 0.67 visitors per square kilometer. In the Namib Desert, as along the Skeleton Coast, distances and the sparse human presence foster a particularly strong sense of solitude.

Botswana takes third place with 80.86 points. The country has chosen a tourism approach that favors a limited number of visitors and vehicles in certain zones. A strategy that, in particular, makes it possible to observe animals in the Okavango Delta in wide spaces where vehicle gatherings remain limited. Zambia follows closely, with 80.64 points. About 48% of its territory is officially protected, notably in vast wild regions such as South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. The country has also become known for its walking safaris, a way to explore nature without multiplying vehicles around the animals.

Fifth in the global ranking? Gabon scores 80.61. More than 85% of its territory is covered by equatorial forest, and 13 national parks were created in 2002, covering more than 10% of the country at the time. Among them, Loango National Park is particularly renowned for elephants capable of venturing onto the coastline. Two other African countries also feature in the top 10: Chad, seventh with 79.82 points, and the Central African Republic, eighth with 78.18 points. Their positions are explained largely by a very low density of infrastructure and visitors. Chad has no railway lines, while the Central African Republic counts only 1.56 vehicles per kilometer of road.

Vast spaces across all continents

While African countries lead the ranking, the quietest country in the world lies elsewhere. Specifically in Asia. It is Bhutan, at the top with a score of 89.44. Nestled in the eastern Himalayas, the kingdom covers 39,041 square kilometers of forests, mountains, and sparsely populated valleys. Tourist access is also framed, notably through a daily fee intended for sustainable development.

In South America, Venezuela ranks sixth with 80.20 points. More than half of its territory, 54.1%, is under a protected status. The country also receives only 1.4 tourists per square kilometer, leaving vast regions largely untouched by international tourism. Mongolia, ninth with 75.53 points, underscores the weight of scale even more. The country spans roughly 1.5 million square kilometers, but has only 35 airports and 1,810 km of railways. Bolivia, tenth with 75.40 points, shows a population density of just 11.77 inhabitants per square kilometer, despite major cities like La Paz.

The Oceania region appears further down the ranking, with New Zealand in 17th place and Australia in 20th. However, these positions should be viewed with nuance, as several small Pacific island states could not be included in the ranking due to insufficient data. Europe, for its part, remains clearly behind. No European country makes the top 25. Estonia, the European country with the best score, is ranked only 34th, ahead of Finland (39th) and Sweden (40th). A consequence, notably, of population density and the transport networks that characterize the continent.

For Ashley Gerrand, safari specialist at Go2Africa, this search for space corresponds to an evolution in travel expectations: “More and more, our clients are not asking for itineraries that are busier or for more activities. They are looking for more space, where they can avoid the crowds.” And to conclude: “One of the greatest luxuries of travel today is the feeling of having space all to oneself.”.

Accor and H World Group Expand Partnership to Bookings and Loyalty Programs

by


Accor et H World Group étendent leur partenariat aux réservations et à la fidélité

Costa Rica


Accor et H World Group ouvrent un nouveau chapitre de leur alliance initiée en 2014. Ce partenariat étendu vise à élargir le choix d’hôtels et à croiser les avantages de fidélité pour les membres des programmes ALL Accor et H Rewards directement depuis leurs plateformes de réservation respectives.

Les deux programmes continueront toutefois, de fonctionner de manière indépendante, préservant leur propre identité.

Sébastien Bazin, Président-Directeur Général de Accor, a souligné qu’après leur accord de Master Franchise en 2014, ce nouvel accord représente une autre étape majeure visant à abolir les barrières géographiques, à améliorer la distribution et à enrichir leur écosystème de fidélité.

De son côté, Ji Qi, Président de H World Group, a qualifié ce partenariat d’évolution naturelle après plus d’une décennie de confiance mutuelle, ajoutant qu’en unissant leurs forces complémentaires, les deux groupes allaient créer plus de valeur pour les voyageurs, les propriétaires d’hôtels et les partenaires.


A phased rollout throughout 2026

The agreement rests on the complementarity of the two organizations: Accor’s global brand portfolio and international distribution network join forces with the direct-channel strength and H World’s extensive customer base in China.

H Rewards counts more than 310 million members, while ALL Accor totals nearly 120 million worldwide.

The rollout of this synergy will occur in successive phases during 2026. H World International hotels located in Europe and the Middle East will progressively become accessible to ALL Accor on the French group’s direct channels.

Conversely, the premium and luxury brands of Accor operating in mainland China will be integrated into H World’s platforms for H Rewards members. Travelers of both programs will thus begin benefiting from preferential rates, privileged status recognition and the accumulation of points during their stays at participating partner properties.

PortAventura World Unveils Two Family-Friendly Attractions This Summer

by

CroisiEurope


PortAventura World will open two new experiences this summer: “Coral Bay, The Lost Legend,” an expansion of the Caribe Aquatic Park, and “Makamanu Jungle, The Adventure Trek.”

The new water zone of over 6,000 m², named “Coral Bay, The Lost Legend,” draws inspiration from an ancient sunken pirate cove that resurfaced from the depths of the ocean. Water, exploration and themed scenery will guide this extension of Caribe Aquatic Park, following the park’s best attendance year in its history, according to PortAventura World.

Among the new installations is Cyclone, described as the second family water coaster in the world and the first in Europe designed for a family audience.

Visitors will also be able to discover Pirate Bay, touted as the world’s first multi-adventure pool, as well as The Crab, a tower housing five different slide routes.

The youngest guests will have access to an interactive space named Splash Port. The whole complex will be complemented by a new dining venue, El Bucanero, together with several relaxation areas integrated into the theme of this underwater pirate city.


An Adventure Trail Through Polynesia’s Lush Vegetation


"Makamanu Jungle, The Adventure Trek" - Photo : PortAventura World

The second novelty will take place in PortAventura Park’s Polynesia zone with “Makamanu Jungle, The Adventure Trek.”

This 135-meter aerial course will wind through tropical vegetation using walkways, rope tunnels, suspended bridges and high structures. The scenery will evoke an ancient volcanic quarry hidden within the jungle.

Aimed at a family audience, the experience will offer several difficulty levels. It will notably include 18 elevated treehouses, 20 rope tunnels, three rope ladders, four slides and a central four-story structure providing varying degrees of adventure.

The new area will also benefit from direct access from the Far West zone, creating an additional link between the park’s two realms.


Strengthening its Position in Family Tourism

PortAventura World states that the new zone will include spaces accessible to people with reduced mobility. A harness-equipped rope course will also be offered to visitors seeking a more athletic experience.

Throughout the course, several visual elements will reference Makamanu, the iconic show that marked the resort’s history for many years.

With these two new experiences, PortAventura World continues to develop its offering for families and aims to renew its appeal to both returning visitors and new customers.

The resort believes that these investments will help strengthen its positioning among the leading family vacation destinations in Southern Europe, by further diversifying its summer leisure offerings.

Amazing Travel Superstitions Still Found Around the World

by

Setting off toward an unknown destination has always been a small adventure. Before hitting the road, boarding a ship, or taking to the skies, certain people carry out actions they attribute particular significance to. Passed down through generations, these beliefs blend protection, luck, and a fear of the unknown. And depending on the country, the precautions to ensure a good journey can be, frankly, surprising. In several Eastern European countries, departure is regarded as a moment so important that it deserves its very own ceremonial rite.

Before You Set Off, It’s Best to Observe Certain Rituals

World Rivers: The New Horizon for Cruise Travelers

CroisiEurope


For decades, river cruising has revolved around Europe’s grand classics.

Danube, Rhine, Seine, Douro… So many itineraries that have become staples for travelers drawn to the proximity of cities, the richness of heritage, and the comfort of serene navigation.

But as the market matures, a new trend has asserted itself in recent years: the most loyal travelers now look far beyond the Old Continent.


“Customers typically begin with the big classics, like the Douro or the Danube. Once these routes are completed, they seek new rivers, new cultures, and new experiences,” summarizes Alain Souleille, president of Rivages du Monde.



A new ship on the Mekong for Rivages du Monde

An evolution that perfectly illustrates the industry’s transformation: today, nearly 90% of Rivages du Monde’s activity is devoted to river cruising.

To meet this demand, the specialist continues expanding into destinations that are still off the beaten path, such as the Congo.

From autumn 2026, a new ship built in Vietnam, the Romance, will begin service on the Mekong.

More spacious, featuring large panoramic windows, a spa, and solar panels, it caters to guests who now seek both comfort and immersion.

“Rivers are living arteries that allow you to venture into regions that are otherwise hard to access, crossroads of cultures, wildlife, and unique ecosystems. The landscapes vary from port to port, with cities, communities, and villages along the banks sharing immense cultural wealth. Often, the boat is simply the best way to discover these regions,” explains Lionel Rabiet, president of Voyages d’Exception.


Voyages d’Exception’s favorites for India and China

Beyond Europe, the head of the company and its marketing director Mathieu Ramus often cite the Brahmaputra in the Indian state of Assam. “It is one of Asia’s mightiest rivers. It traverses an India that few travelers know, weaving through tea gardens, traditional villages, and national parks home to one-horned rhinoceroses, elephants, and Bengal tigers.”

For Lionel Rabiet, it is a route designed “for travelers who wish to discover an authentic, still relatively unexplored India.”

In India, still, the operator notes that the backwaters of Kerala offer an immersion into a calmer India along the waterways, where daily life continues to revolve around water. This itinerary is notably undertaken aboard the RV Kochi Pandaw, an intimate ten-cabin vessel.

Further east, the Yangtze lets travelers traverse imperial China amid landscapes that the road cannot reveal.


The Amazon as CroisiEurope’s new exploration frontier

Another favorite is the Tapajós, a tributary of the Amazon. “White-sand beaches, waters of a deep blue… a Caribbean-like paradise in the heart of the Amazon, distant from the clichés of green hell,” describes Lionel Rabiet, who sees it as one of the continent’s most pristine and least explored regions.

This diversification has also become a strategic axis for CroisiEurope. After navigating the Nile, the Ganges, the Mekong, and Southern Africa, the company is now preparing its entry into the Amazon.

In 2027, the Brasilian Dream will enter service, a new Brazil-built vessel offering three itineraries on the Amazon, the Rio Negro, and the Tapajós, with the aim of revealing a more intimate Amazon near local communities and biodiversity.

Far-flung destinations are already a cornerstone of its international portfolio.

In Southern Africa, CroisiEurope combines navigation on the Zambezi and Lake Kariba with overland safaris to Victoria Falls. On the Mekong, between Vietnam and Cambodia, the company focuses on immersion in Southeast Asia—among stilt villages, floating markets, Khmer temples, and rice paddies.
