Escales was a French television channel in the travelogue and world discovery genre.
Since October 2007, the channel has changed ownership, joining with its defunct German cousin Terranova which ceased broadcast in July 2007, and which also showed documentary programmes.
The channel shows, in a series of documentaries, a country, a region of France, Europe or the world, to give a tourist guide of picturesque sites for visitors, places, or unusual activities.
Escales was broadcast originally only on AB Sat, but was then available through a subscription to all French and Swiss cable networks, on the Bis Télévisions, Orange, TéléSAT and CanalSat packages as well as on the main ADSL bouquets.
