Now this one is a rarity and a beauty. The Terminator did get a few covers outside US, and vast majority of them were differently cropped theatrical posters, but there were few exceptions where magazines went with something unique. France has always been great for James Cameron films, and they always were one of the top 3 countries that gave the best and most extensive coverage for his films in Europe.
The great thing about international magazines is that the chances of just seeing the same thing you did in United States but translated are very slim. Back in the days, different continents got different press kits and different sets of photos.
Travelling magazine from France isn't about travelling, but it's about movies. Perhaps a French fan can explain why was it called this way, but I'm assuming its got something to do with, perhaps, taking a figurative journey while watching a film. The magazine not only gave The Terminator a front, full cover spotlight in their March 1985 issue, but also used a very unique photo on it. It isn't simply a theatrical poster, it's a (still) rare set photo of the Terminator in front of "Wrong Sarah's" house.
And while the magazine isn't picture heavy, the first photo shown in the article is a photo that is a rarity to this day. The magazine gets extra points from me for also printing James Cameron's terrific Terminator painting, and presenting it in a cool, unique way.
The article talks about the movie, but, commonly for the magazines back then, gets some things wrong like the year of the future events of the film. It states it's 2027. It does mention that Jim Cameron is writing Alien II as well. Obligatory Arnold Schwarzenegger biography is present as well
