Stay : Texas, between cowboy tradition and alternative spirit

In ten days, you'll have the opportunity to discover many facets of this great state, from Houston's first-rate museums to Fort Worth's ranches and trendy Austin. The trip promises to be varied and full of surprises. Note that it's best to avoid visiting Texas in summer, as temperatures easily reach 40°C in the middle of the day. Howdy Texas!
