"We wanted to offer something else. The guides work very well. But the magazine really serves to highlight things not necessarily known, aspects not necessarily known in the guides, places we do not know, far away crowds ", distinguishes Claire Leost.

"The guides are very, very comprehensive. With the magazine, we really wanted a selection. The Routard selection, the best of the best in France."

"A traveler can be lost when faced with 100 or 200 pages of text"

An analysis confirmed by Philippe Gloaguen, who wrote in the editorial of the first issue: "When you write a Guide du Routard, you start a bulldozer. Conversely, designing a magazine is like picking flowers in the fields".

A metaphor that the co-founder of Routard explains.

"When I send an employee to a big city or a region to redo the new edition of the Guide du Routard, he visits all the hotels, all the restaurants. It is a bulldozer that goes slowly and gives a mass of information A traveler who stays only a few days in a place is sometimes a little lost by the 100 or 200 pages of text, "he admits.

"The Routard magazine is the bias of our editors. It is the same team as the editorial staff of the Guide du Routard, but it chooses the best address, the little-known place."

The first issue of 

has been on newsstands since May 6, and it sells for 5.95 euros.
