Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam share closely related ways of life, the sumptuous remains of ancient civilisations, a common spirituality, genuine refinement and a population with an incomparable smile.
Beyond its historical reality, this Indochina has a true cultural identity and a geographical one too. And it is the Mekong, crossing all three countries before ending its course in the South China Sea, that stands as its most evocative emblem.
In Cambodia, the Mekong floods the Khmer land with its benefits. It traces, all the way to the gates of Angkor, the route of a journey through time. With its galleries and bas-reliefs, Angkor Wat is one of the finest remains of a once-powerful empire. Even today, it remains a source of wonder.
Here, the plains born from the union of water and earth offer spectacular landscapes of shimmering expanses, where views of sugar palms and temples swallowed by the forest meet stilt houses. And where dancers with supple fingers cross paths with monks beneath golden parasols.
Indochina and Cambodia offer the opportunity for fascinating journeys, at an eternal pace, for those who know how to stop time.
