La tumultueuse île aux épices

Anciennement dénommée par les Anglais, Ceylan, le Sri Lanka est une île fascinante de 435 km de long sur 225 km de large au sud est de l'Inde. En forme de perle, elle porte bien son nom inspiré de poèmes mythologiques, île fortunée. On trouve en effet au Sri Lanka un condensé de sites culturels exceptionnels (Polonaruwa, Anuradhapura, Roche de Sigiriya, Dambulla, Kandy), de plages frangées de cocotiers (Tangalle, Trincomale), de parcs naturels resplendissants (Yala, Plaines d'Horton, Uda Walawa), de fiers vestiges coloniaux (Colombo, fort de Galle), de plantations de thé florissantes (fameux thé noir Ceylan Pekoe), de jardins botaniques royaux (Kandy), et d'une ribambelle de boutique hôtels paradisiaques.
