Plus discr\u00e8te, plus brute aussi. Une \u00eele en particulier, Dugi Otok, donne cette impression rare d\u2019\u00eatre encore \u201cavant la carte postale\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Une destination premium sans y mettre le prix <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u00e8s l\u2019arriv\u00e9e, quelque chose frappe : le silence. Pas un silence vide, mais un silence vivant, rythm\u00e9 par les cigales, le vent dans les pins et le clapotis des petits ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dugi Otok, dans l\u2019archipel de Zadar, porte bien son nom de \u201clongue \u00eele\u201d.
