How to travel during lockdown?
We continue our journey comfortably installed at home. After the TV shows and the travel blogs, as it is Saturday we thought of concocting you a nice evening in front of your TV with a selection of movies that will make you travel. Once again this list is my list and can be enriched by your selection. Here are 10 feature films of all types to please everyone (road movies, introspection, musical, humor...).

If these trips make you want to discover these lands, after this confined period, I added each time the link to the eco responsible hotels that we have referenced in each country or region.
