Voilà un bon plan que je ne pouvais

Voilà un bon plan que je ne pouvais pas manquer de mettre en avant!! Sur les trains canadiens, Via Rail offre aux musiciens la possibilité de voyager à bord gratuitement, en échange d’un concert à bord pour les passagers! Incroyable non? Moi qui ai l’habitude d’échanger des sourires contre des billets gratuits (cf the free tickets world tour), j’ai trouvé ça génial!

Notre traversée de l’Est canadien, nous l’avons faite en train. Trois étapes au total: Halifax-Moncton (300km), Moncton-Montréal (800km) puis Montréal-Toronto (500km). Dans un pays aussi vaste que le Canada, le moyen de transport le plus utilisé est bien évidemment l’avion. Du coup, le train se positionne plutôt sur le segment de charme du « slow travel ». On peut d’ailleurs faire la traversée toute entière du pays avec le Canadien, qui rallie Toronto à Vancouver en 4 jours/4 nuits. Une prochaine idée de voyage qui me plairait beaucoup! Ca serait l’occasion de comparer avec le Transsibérien…

Mais pour en revenir au Canada, le « bonus » du voyage, c’est à l’arrière du train qu’on le trouve, avec la voiture-dôme! Le dernier wagon, c’est le rendez-vous pour les passagers qui veulent davantage profiter du trajet. A l’étage, il y a un espace panoramique pour mieux admirer les paysages traversés. Et en-dessous, un espace convivial avec café et thé à volonté, dégustation de vins locaux, et musique live! C’est là que les musiciens qui bénéficient d’un billet gratuit (valable pour deux personnes, et dans une cabine de première classe!) donnent un concert. Coup de coeur pour Morgan MacDonald, dont on a profité de la musique… Il voyageait à bord du Halifax-Montréal avec sa petite amie pour aller annoncer leurs fiançailles à ses parents… ;-) Avant d’entamer cet été la tournée des festivals de musique du Canada grâce à ces billets de train offerts! Une super initiative que Via-Rail envisage d’étendre d’ailleurs à d’autres artistes ou personnes capables d’offrir une distraction ou un enseignement à bord des trains… La compagnie ferroviaire a ainsi fait bénéficier du programme à deux passionnées de tricot qui ont donné des cours de tricotage pendant le voyage! Bon par contre, pour pouvoir bénéficier du programme « Artistes à bord », il faut avoir la nationalité canadienne. Candidatures et informations par ici. Bon voyage!! Et bon concert!!

Et voilà en vidéo un très sympa résumé de ce blog trip en train au Canada. Félicitations à Alex Strohl pour les images et le montage!!

This is a good plan that I could not fail to highlight! Canadian trains, Via Rail offers musicians the opportunity to travel on board free of charge, in Exchange for a concert on board for passengers! Amazing no? I who have the habit of exchanging smiles against free tickets (see the free tickets world tour), I found it awesome!Our crossing of Eastern Canada, we have done by train. Three steps in total: Halifax-Moncton (300km), Moncton-Montreal (800km) and Montréal-Toronto (500km). In a country as large as the Canada, the most used transport means is obviously the aircraft. Suddenly, the train is positioned on the segment of charm of 'slow travel '. We can make the entire crossing of the country with the Canadian, who endorse Vancouver Toronto in 4 days/4 nights. A next trip idea that I would enjoy a lot! It would be the opportunity to compare with the Trans-Siberian...cabin for two which turns into bunk at night, with toilet and shower en suiteBut to return to the Canada, the "bonus" of travel, it is at the rear of the train found with the dome car! The last car, it is the venue for passengers who want to further enjoy the ride. Upstairs, there is a panoramic space to better admire the landscapes traversed. And below, a friendly area with coffee and tea at will, tasting of local wines, music live! This is where the musicians who enjoy a free ticket (valid for two people, and in a first class cabin!) to give a concert. Blow of heart for Morgan MacDonald, which we enjoyed music... He was travelling aboard the Halifax-Montreal with his girlfriend to announce their engagement to her parents... ;-) Before starting this summer tour of the music festivals of Canada thanks these train tickets available! A super Via Rail initiative plans to extend also to other artists or people able to offer a distraction or a teaching on the trains... The railway company thus benefit from the program to two knitting freaks who gave courses in knitting during the trip! Good on the other hand, in order to benefit from the 'Artists' program on board, should be Canadian nationality. Applications and information here. Good trip!! And good concert!Concert aboard the dome car... Morgan MacDonald on guitar...And here on video a very nice summary of this trip by train blog in the Canada.
