This is a web site where nothing is for sale. The original site is in French. But we are aware that a lot of persons would like to enjoy a virtual trip to this beautiful country of India. This is why the very numerous pictures display a double caption, in French and in English, so that you may get the basic information. Proper indication is also given to help the visitor. Furthermore, the browsing throughout the site is made easy thanks to english benchmarks. The pictures presented are original pictures of the author; they come from Indian regions and Nepal (Kathmandu valley). They may be considered as a useful visual support to prepare oneself before going to these countries. Travelling is an initiation : one has to prepare a long time before. So, when the departure day comes, one enjoys best the true taste of new things. |

By force, they have converted local people to their own religion, so adverse to the thousand-years old indian culture. As already explained, this web site expects to be an help to prepare a travel to India and, simultaneously, it aims to give testimony of wonderful ancient monuments and their divine statues throughout the country.
