The beginning of the year is conducive to going on vacation:after the end-of-year celebrations that didn't really leave us time to unwind and a trying month of January, many take well-being getaways and/or under the sun. The online travel agency Expedia has put together for these first holidaymakers of the year a whole series of tips for traveling at low cost. We take note!

You know everything… In advance, happy holidays!
