France, anyway you want it
We take pride in crafting luxury tours that are fully customized to align with your clients’ unique interests and preferences. Whether their passions lie in music, gastronomy, nature or history, we ensure their journey is thoughtfully designed to inspire and engage.
As they travel, we want people to connect with the essence of a place through meaningful interactions.

As part of our DMC services, we can offer exclusive wine tours that celebrate the regional flavors of Provence, taking your clients to some of the most stunning and prestigious vineyards in France.
They’ll enjoy private vintage wine tastings paired with exquisite local cuisine, all set against the backdrop of the picturesque French countryside.
Whether your client dreams of tasting Bordeaux wines, exploring the Basque Country, cycling through Brittany, golfing in Gascony, dog sledding with colleagues on an incentive trip or mastering the art of French gourmet cooking in Paris, our team can craft the perfect tour.
With our expertise and extensive network of trusted partners, ranging from premium transfer providers to renowned high-end restaurants, we ensure everything is taken care of, down to the last detail.
