Colorado on track
For 30 years, the Rocky Mountaineer has transported thousands of passengers to the Rockies, the impressive mountain range that stretches 4,800 km from northern British Columbia to New Mexico. This summer, the scenic train opened a new section and now connects Denver (Colorado) to Moab (Utah). Behind the windows of the "Rockies to the Red Rocks", the landscapes are revealed. Sometimes vast canyons and fairy chimneys, sometimes lush green forests and tumultuous waterfalls, around which elks, moose and mouflons rub shoulders with elusive pumas. Imminent boarding.

In 1869, Frederick Billings decided to remedy the deforestation of the hills and valleys of Vermont. He acquired the Marsh Farm, north of the town of Woodstock, and land on the slopes of Mount Tom to introduce European tree species. Today, the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park is the oldest sustainably managed forest in the United States. More than 30 km of hiking trails wind between Norwegian spruces, red pines and European larches which, in winter, put on an immaculate coat. At the end of the day, we offer ourselves, with red cheeks and cold nose, a well-deserved rest by the fireside in a luxurious hotel.

STEPHAN GLADIEU / Le Figaro Magazine
City of American independence, Philadelphia is often neglected. Less than two hours from New York, it is nevertheless the ideal stopover for gourmets. While the Reading Terminal Market, one of the oldest covered markets in the country, opened 130 years ago, is a living tableau of America where farmers in plaid shirts, Italian mammas and Amish market gardeners mingle, a new generation of chefs energizes the city with cosmopolitan tables. The opportunity to learn about the principle of BYOB (Bring your own bottle, literally "bring your own bottle"), very widespread in this state due to the high taxation of alcohol.
