Trapped underground  
Trapped underground
At Christmas 2009, three cavers trapped at 700m deep in the Gouffre Romy, in the Massif de la Pierre Saint Martin (France), made the headlines. After 70 hours spent in extreme conditions, the three men managed to escape by themselves from the siphon that barred their exit. Among them was Damien Butaeye, Hydrogeologist and specialized photographer of the Rapsodia team... This dramatic story has publicly revealed the existence of an unfamiliar activity: caving exploration. But after this mediatised episode, many questions remain: Who are those modern times adventurers? What are they looking for in this dangerous and hostile world? How organize and conduct such an underground expedition? How those experienced cavers have been trapped? Who organize and pays the rescue in case of problem in this kind of adventures? Back to info thanks to the photographs taken in the Gouffre Romy.
     
Unusual Benin  
Unusual Benin
Benin is a quiet and colorful small country of West Africa. To go there riding a “Zem” (a kind of local motorbike) with friends is a happy experience.

Discovering Philippine
Northern Luzon, Bohol the wild and Cebu the musician: to immerse yourself in the soft atmosphere of Philippines, nothing is better than the beat of a good old road-movie in mind. On the road from the Southern Seas, we overtake the flashing jeepneys, we climb on the top of volcanoes, we plunge in the rice fields, we taste grilled pork and exotic fruits, we sleep into authentic canopied beds, we explore colonial cities with barouches, we find the rounded eyes of the tiny tarsier, we go into the jungle, we dance on the tune of guitars, and at Sunday, we make a stop at the church or at the karaoke. Terminus "the beach" on the coral reefs of Bohol...
     
Freestyle paragliding on the dune du Pilat  
Freestyle paragliding on the dune du Pilat
Whereas the kiter tries desperately to fly up into the air, the paraglider tries to get closer to the ground. A wise mixture of paragliding, kiting and skateboarding, freestyle paragliding is a new spectacular discipline which, by itself is a demonstration of the main modern adrenalin sports all put together. Is a new generation of X-over about to be born? The demo is located on the famous dune du Pilat by Charlie Piccolo, THE expert of this new type of sport.
