Instagram makes us dream, especially when it comes to travel accounts! So here is our top 3 of the finest travel accounts.

The best known: natgeotravel

As children it was our favourite channel on television. Now we admire their animal photographs and far-flung landscapes with enormous pleasure.

A little anecdote: one morning at 6am we found ourselves on top of the Great Wall of China with a few of their photographers. Watching the sunrise from up there was a magical moment.

For a different way of life: alexstrohl

For his expeditions, his lifestyle and his good humour! The photographs feel natural, they make you want to pack your bags and they show you breathtaking wild landscapes!

The most natural: bestjobers

Probably our favourite for its simplicity and gentleness. Pastel photographs, sublime landscapes and a lovely couple in love.

The added bonus? They travel a great deal in France and across Europe, so it is easy to borrow their ideas! So, has this little selection given you the urge to travel? Do you have other travel accounts to recommend to us? If the subject fascinates you, you can read our various articles on the regions of France.

To see it all at a glance, here’s what makes each of these three accounts stand out.

Frequently asked questions

Which Instagram accounts should I follow to get the travel itch? Three stand out for us: natgeotravel, alexstrohl and bestjobers. The first for wildlife and far-off landscapes, the second for expeditions and a way of life that breaks the mould, the third for the softness of its images. They tell very different stories, so there is no need to pick just one.

Which of these accounts gives ideas you can actually act on? bestjobers, without hesitation. They travel a lot in France and in Europe, which makes their destinations easy to copy. You can borrow their ideas without booking three weeks off.

Why is natgeotravel still a reference? Because it was already our favourite channel on television when we were kids, and the eye behind it has not changed. The wildlife and far-off landscape shots still hit just as hard. We even ran into a few of their photographers one morning at 6 a.m. on top of the Great Wall of China, at sunrise.

Who is the alexstrohl account for? For anyone drawn to expeditions and to a way of living that is not their own. The photos feel natural, the landscapes are wild, and the good mood comes through in the images. It is the account that makes you want to leave, not necessarily the one that tells you where to go.

Where can I find destination ideas in France? Start with bestjobers, since they cover a lot of ground in France. And on our blog, where several articles are devoted to the French regions.

How can I suggest another travel account to you? Just tell us, we read everything. Our shortlist holds three names, it makes no claim to be exhaustive and it shifts with what we come across.
