Week-end Évasion: inspiring encounters, hidden gems and countless ways to get away
A city to explore, a countryside retreat to slow down in, an island to discover differently… With Week-end Évasion, Trotters TV invites you to enjoy a change of scenery and discover places through the people who bring them to life. Different presenters, fresh perspectives and one shared ambition: to uncover the hidden gems that make each getaway special.
From city streets to countryside retreats, Week-end Évasion takes you in search of hidden gems and inspiring encounters. · Trotters TV
A few days away, a fresh perspective
You do not always need a long holiday to escape everyday life. A weekend can be enough: a welcoming place to stay, an unexpected landscape, a conversation that lingers—and the journey takes on a whole new dimension.
This is the spirit behind Week-end Évasion. The programme immerses you in a destination, whether in the city or the countryside, by the sea or on an island. Alongside the scenery, you discover local life, initiatives and personalities.
The idea is to take the time to understand what gives a place its charm—and offer inspiration for your next travel itinerary.
Different presenters, different ways to experience a destination
We do not all travel in the same way. Some enjoy stepping into a workshop, while others prefer discovering a restaurant, following a quieter path or settling somewhere made for relaxation.
Week-end Évasion embraces this diversity, bringing together presenters with different backgrounds and interests. Each brings their curiosity, their own way of connecting with local people and their perspective on the places they explore.
The atmosphere changes from one episode to the next. A getaway might focus on food, culture, nature or simply the pleasure of slowing down. What connects these experiences is the desire to share a discovery and help you imagine your own stay.
Seeking hidden gems in the city and the countryside
A hidden gem does not have to be a famous address. It might be accommodation whose owner tells its story with passion, an activity that offers a different way to explore or somewhere that immediately makes you feel at home.
Week-end Évasion seeks out these discoveries that bring depth to a journey. In a city, they might lie behind an unassuming façade or around a neighbourhood corner. In the countryside, they might take the form of a guesthouse, a local producer or a chance encounter along a country lane.
The programme encourages you to stay curious, step outside your usual habits and leave room for the unexpected.
Terre-de-Haut: discovering Les Saintes through its people
Some places make you want to return before you have even left. Terre-de-Haut, in Les Saintes, is one of those destinations that makes you wish you could stay a little longer.
In this episode of Week-end Évasion, the journey includes meeting Emmanuel, owner of Boone Vacances, a holiday rental nestled at the foot of Pain de Sucre. It offers an introduction to the island through a welcoming place to stay and the perspective of the person behind it.
The journey continues with Vincent, who offers electric bikes for exploring Terre-de-Haut. A way to discover the island at your own pace, stop whenever you please and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
These encounters remind us that our memories of a stay are also shaped by the people we meet, their advice and the passion they share.

A relaxing escape to La Toubana in Sainte-Anne
Another stop, another atmosphere: Week-end Évasion also takes you to La Toubana in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe.
This getaway offers another way to experience the destination, using a place to stay as the starting point for discovery. An invitation to picture yourself somewhere else, change your pace and enjoy a few days just for yourself.
From Les Saintes to Sainte-Anne, these two examples capture the spirit of the programme: the same destination can offer different experiences, depending on where you stay, whom you meet and what you feel like doing.

Through its different perspectives, Week-end Évasion offers ideas you can make your own. An encounter might spark your curiosity, a place to stay might inspire you to book a few days away, or a landscape might become the starting point for a trip.
Because tourism is also about the people who welcome visitors, share their knowledge and give a place its soul.
