In recent years, travel has become so democratic that everyone wants to discover the planet in all its corners. However, you should know that many closed doors could hinder your escapades around the world! Whether they are dangerous, holders of well-kept secrets or forbidden to the average person, all these places in which we can never enter obviously arouse the curiosity of the Little Futé! From Brazil to Japan, France and Italy, here is an impossible journey to the heart of impenetrable sites, for a top that will not remain secret!
8 - Mejgorié, the secret Russia
In southeastern Russia, in the Bashkirian Republic, Mejgorie is a city of 16,450 inhabitants that is banned from tourism or the press. This military site protected by the army would have an underground complex of more than 1,000 m2. Some rumours admit that it is an anti-nuclear war bunker or a secret intelligence centre. According to the Kremlin, it would simply be a mining site

6 - The impenetrable sanctuary of Ise in Japan:
Of the hundred or so buildings that make up the Ise Sanctuary, in Mie Prefecture in Japan, only a tiny part is open to the public. It is therefore impossible to discover all the treasures of this place, which is highly sacred to the Shinto religion. Every twenty years, this site is demolished and rebuilt to preserve its purity. To access the main sites, you will need to be of imperial blood and a Shinto priest or priestess
5 - The mysterious Javari reserve in Brazil:
If, by any chance, you have the idea of venturing into the Brazilian rainforest, you will be formally forbidden to enter the 48,000 km2 of the Javari reserve where indigenous tribes live without any contact with the outside world: there are more than a hundred of them. For once, we can only welcome this ban, which is simply intended to protect the living space of these communities
4 - Mount Athos, forbidden but not to everyone
Mount Athos is one of the most mysterious religious sites in Greece. Located in the far north of the Chalkidiki peninsula, in the northeast of the country, it is home to a community of monks living in a closed environment. It is difficult to enter, but for men, it is possible with an authorization. For women, on the other hand, entry has been strictly prohibited since 1046 in order, it is said, to avoid any temptation!
3 - The secret apostolic archives of the Vatican, centuries of history
It is a true treasure that is freely accessible only to the Pope, or to some of his collaborators. Researchers will have to show white paws to be able to consult specific documents. Located inside the Apostolic Palace, not far from St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican archives contain exceptional archives such as the Galileo trial or unpublished letters by Michelangelo
