Maine (ME), New Hampshire (NH), Vermont (VT), Rhode Island (RI),Connecticut (CT), and Massachusetts (MA) are the six American states included in the region of New England. May it be culture, winter sports or sunny summer beaches, wild nature or modern cities, this North East region of the United States has a lot to offer.
-Boston : Major city of New England, Boston is a real U.S. cultural center. As the place where the Revolution started, Boston is also full of History and will give you a better understanding of the whole country.
-Salem : In 1692, a terrible trial took place in Salem ending with the death of many "supposed" witches. The city was able to make this event its best touristic asset and today, you can find pretty much everything related to sorcery in this former capitale of Massachusets. Even "real" witches...
-Natural sites : Nature in New England is beautiful, diversified...and protected. Take a careful look at the coast of Pemaquid Point, at the Acadia National Park, at Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard beaches in Cape Cod, or at the White Mountains.
The road trips
