About Siem Reap

Siem Reap, ville au bord de la rivière près d'Angkor, vaste complexe de temples khmers du Cambodge, avec marchés nocturnes et centre tranquille.

Angkor Vat, souvent présenté comme le plus grand monument religieux du monde, s'élève au-dessus de ses douves dans une silhouette de tours en bouton de lotus à couper le souffle au lever du soleil. Tout près, la cité fortifiée d'Angkor Thom abrite le Bayon, avec ses plus de deux cents visages de pierre sereins, la terrasse des Éléphants et le Baphuon, tandis que Ta Prohm est enserré par les racines de fromagers et de figuiers étrangleurs géants.
