Nomads yourtes, Song Kol lake, KyrgyzstanOn Silk road, the Jiayugan fortress, China

From loneliness of Turkmenistan's desert to the blue domes
of Samarkand,

From Kyrgyzstan's mountains
to the legendary city of Kashgar,

From the borders of Taklamakan's desert to the Jiayugan
fortress in China.


I propose you in these pages to discover these ancient routes that I had the chance to travel and which have also fashioned the world we know today by encouraging exchanges between peoples.
