Frequently asked questions

Travel Advice is a bilingual online travel magazine (French and English) publishing destination guides, editorial articles and practical advice. The site is free, without paywall, and contains no shop, no booking system, and no products for sale.

No. Travel Advice is purely an editorial outlet. We publish information, not transactions. When we mention a hotel, train or operator, it is for information only — no commission involved.

Yes. All guides and most articles are published in French and English. You can switch languages from the toggle in the footer.

Yes, entirely. No content is restricted to subscribers. We charge readers nothing. Travel Advice is funded by its publisher and does not rely on intrusive advertising.

Each country guide is written by a member of the editorial team, based on our own travels, documentary research (official sources, specialised press, reference books) and internal review. The structure is intentionally consistent across guides to make destinations easy to compare.

Every guide is verified and dated before publication, then periodically reviewed to stay current.

Time-sensitive information (entry formalities, safety, currency, transport) is reviewed at least once a year, and more often when events warrant it. The last-updated date is displayed on every guide.

We publish at a deliberately measured pace to maintain depth. The catalogue grows over time. If you want to see a destination prioritised, you can suggest it via the contact page.
