10 Instagram accounts to follow to get away from it all (mentally)

0

This year, it was difficult to escape a somewhat anxiety-provoking climate. The desire to explore other horizons is put on the back burner – at least for a few more months. Well, not completely. For globetrotters at heart, here is our selection of the 10 most "wow" Instagram accounts to follow to get away from it all, think about it and dream of travel …

While we are still confined (and at an uncertain stage of the Covid-19 epidemic), we unfortunately have to face the facts that travel is not on the agenda, for a while . However, we live in an ultra-connected world where we are lucky to have access to social networks, especially Instagram, which allows us to discover millions of landscapes, each more breathtaking than the next.

The reckless bloggers we have selected travel from country to country and photograph the best moments of their "marathon", thus rekindling our nomadic spirit. Their Instagram accounts are real travel diaries through which you can escape, for a moment, far from home, far from the fog of the health crisis. And since we don't do things by halves, all of these accounts are kept by French people!

1. @amoureusedevoyage: the most Francophile Instagram account

This Instagrammer proves to us that there is no need to cross the border to find picturesque corners. Although she has visited countries such as Turkey or Spain, she mostly turns to regions of our beautiful French heritage. And it must be said that France has a wide variety of landscapes that we should explore better. Something to inspire us for our post-containment trips!

2. @foodiesontheway: the most greedy Instagram account

After the globetrotters, here are the food-trotters! Between two pictures of paradisiacal landscapes, there are some really enticing shots, because traveling also involves our plate. They not only publish little-known dishes such as mee rebus Malaysian or the larb, a spicy Laotian salad, but also more familiar flavors such as Breton pancakes or cheesecake.

3. @brunomaltor: the most breathtaking Instagram account

With over 320k subscribers on Instagram, Bruno Maltor is probably the most famous French travel blogger (and Youtubeur) on social networks. His shots make us feel like we are at his side, providing an almost immersive experience. The traveling Instagrammer is also a follower of “slow travel”, which consists in fully appreciating everything that we discover by taking the time; which thus opposes mass tourism. And it shows in his photos where we have the feeling that time has stood still.

4. @voyages_dune_plume: the most philosophical Instagram account

Privileges. Since my adolescence, I come and go between the countries of the world. I cross borders without asking any questions. In Europe, I go to Italy to take a walk, to Portugal to see family or to Spain, leaving my papers at home. . Since my adolescence I have dreamed of a world without borders, a world where a Moroccan, an Eritrean, a Burmese or a Nicaraguan could come and go between the countries of the world. . Since my teenage years, or maybe even before, I have been unable to understand how a piece of paper can be more important than a life, how a line drawn on a map can be so important that we need to protect it with weapons. . . For several days now, my privilege as a Franco-Portuguese with a passport marked with golden letters has been hurting me more and more. . Every time I cross the border, I buy a train ticket or a plane ticket, my heart explodes with rage and disgust with this system of there being a good and a bad side of the border. . I think more and more about how I can use this privilege to do something useful and live in line with my ideas, my doubts and my thoughts. . #sansfrontieres #gorgesduverdon #instatravel #france #france_focus_on #injustice #privilege #verdon #nature #vacances #slowtravel #microaventure #explore_regionsud #showmefrance

Élisa and Max are a couple of artist photographers and travelers, a bit dreamy, who travel the world in search of new adventures. Their pseudonym comes from a competition called "The Best Job in the World *", that the couple won in 2013 among more than 330,000 candidates and after 3 months of competition. Élisa and Max share their bits of paradise in simply sensational pictures.

6. @onedayonetravel: the most colorful Instagram account

With an aesthetic as elaborate as that of Franck and Richard, this Insta feed can only leave you dreaming. In addition to publishing sublime photos, Onedayonetrabal have chosen to arrange their photos according to colors, and this account really makes us travel to distant lands without leaving home, with a real aesthetic bias. A real treat for the eyes !

7. @voyageusesenherbe: the most playful Instagram account

Imagine the good humor of two best friends who travel the four corners of the world arm in arm. Manon and Julie take you with them in joy and good humor. By embarking on the adventure, the two friends set themselves a real challenge because they had never taken the big step together before creating their account and their blog. Following their eye-popping escapades should cheer you up!

8. @martindellicour: the most animalistic Instagram account

In his travels, photographer Martin Dellicour strives to highlight both flora and fauna. The forests, landscapes that he seems to prefer, give us a real breath of fresh air (which we currently sorely need!). His way of "capturing" the animals in his photographic case is absolutely striking and deserves a detour.

9. @ tas.vu.ca.le.monde: the most family-friendly Instagram account

Bertrand and Mylène and their 3 children, Baptiste, Lucas and Julia, represent a real family of globe-trotters. What do we love about their account? Live the reality of travel with 3 children, without 1001 Instagram filters. Landscapes, smiles, life and joy. Very communicative.

10. @m monsieurbanane_: the most adventurous Instagram account

Anthony, a crazy "backpacker", takes you on a figurative journey with his superb photos of landscapes that we admire during his excursions … but also literally with his Banana Road project! The principle ? Take a random subscriber on a road trip. The trip is filmed, broadcast on Instagram, in the form of interactive stories. Questions are asked to subscribers throughout the stay, and their answers modify the conditions the course of the expeditions as well as the way… Funny!
