Travel...
It seems that the desire to travel is as old as humanity! We then move out of necessity, to find food, to get away from a danger... Migration more than travel.
Let's spend a few millennia! We move to discover, to conquer... Then comes the time of the great navigators, the great explorers; They crisscross the seas and survey the land.
Today, for many, travel is synonymous with tourism, pleasure.

The Croisette in Phnom Pen
Perhaps you know my japonophilia or nipophilia (not sure the word exists). I like Japan.
I watched the final at the O.J. of France-Japan by team, judo.
For five years Ifumi ABE had lost no more fighting but yesterday he was beaten.
Finally, Japan lost. In close-up on TV, his face expressed sadness.
Go understand, I wish he'd won.
In judo, in high school, I only learned the second hip. I didn't persevere!
had the chance to do transhumance twice with him in 1975 and
1976. 10 days of walking with plenty of unforgettable episodes.
Fioritures, but a solidity to any test.
A modest cross – crouseto (croseta) in Provencal – planted near the beach when Cannes was only a village, had given its name to La Croisette, the world-famous and celebrated seaside avenue, especially in May.
But the Croisette was exported.
I found one in Phnom Penh, in 2000, in an area left behind. « in her juice », memory of the colonial era. I just found this photo, a recently digitized slide.

Well, once again, I'll sleep less ignorant tonight!
I did not know the origin of the word crusette; I was content with a personal interpretation at the limit of the conscious drifting on the resemblance with cruise (travel) crossing people wandering, crusade, crusader (airplane), terms that evoke the movement and that satisfied my question, as usual.
And that's my motto, "Truth is elsewhere..." And for our friend, a defender of anglicism (although I believe our languages have largely been inspired by each other), I translate ‘the truth is elsewhere'.

- The actor Xavier-Adrien Laurent, says XaL, sails between Marseille and Paris.
- The trumpeter Emmanuel Collombert arrives from Montpellier.
