Cours de cuisine, villages, artisanat… Vivez la Thaïlande autrement.

À l'aube sur le marché d'Analakely, à Antananarivo, l'odeur du café arabica des Hauts Plateaux se mêle aux cris des vendeuses de mofo gasy, ces petits pains de riz cuits dans des moules en fonte. C'est dans ces scènes ordinaires que se joue le vrai voyage à Madagascar.

Nos articles sur les expériences locales malgaches sont rédigés par notre équipe sur place, à partir de rencontres répétées, de saisons vécues et de kilomètres parcourus. Vous y trouverez ce que les guides classiques effleurent à peine : comment se déroule un famadihana chez les Merina, pourquoi les pêcheurs Vezo lisent les vents au lever du jour, ce que signifie partager un repas de romazava dans une famille betsileo.

Voici quelques angles que nous explorons régulièrement :

  • Les marchés de zébus d'Ambalavao et d'Ambositra, où se négocie encore le bétail au cordeau
  • Les ateliers de soie sauvage et de papier antaimoro dans la région de Fianarantsoa
  • Les nuits chez l'habitant dans les villages le long du fleuve Tsiribihina
  • Les rituels et fady (interdits) à connaître avant d'aborder un village
  • La cuisine régionale, du ravitoto de la côte est aux poissons grillés de Nosy Be

Chaque article est nourri par nos guides francophones et nos partenaires locaux, qui vivent dans les régions qu'ils racontent. L'objectif n'est pas de transformer Madagascar en carte postale, mais de vous donner les clés pour comprendre ce que vous voyez, et voyager avec un peu plus de justesse.
