The best travel advice
France has so many different regions and landscapes. Take the time to enjoy the panorama, hear the sounds of nature, chat with the locals, and, above all, taste one of the 1,200 varieties of cheese on offer!

About Me
Originally from Avignon and proud of my native Provence, I grew up in an epicurean family attached to customs and traditions. Curious and friendly, tourism has stuck with me for over 15 years now. When I travel, I appreciate slow tourism, taking the time to soak up the atmosphere and observe the environment. The world is so vast, that I never go to the same place twice. In France alone, you can go from the city to the mountains, passing through villages populated by more cows than people. Sharing my experiences and discovering new ones is what drives me, and promoting more sustainable tourism has become a goal and a necessity for me.

Favorite French Food 
So difficult to choose...Cheese, bread & wine is a classic! Any dish with truffle (even dessert) or anything with butter (especially desserts!) Family winter comforting dishes such as Blanquette de veau and Boeuf Bourguignon. 

Most recommended Experience in Burgundy
Burgundy: ​Hot Air Balloon Experience in Beaune's Vineyards -> Suitable for couples, friends, and families. "Wow" effect guaranteed. Eco-friendly activity. Unique experience.

Favorite Place to Visit in France
Remote, off-the-beaten-path places such as Nyons in North of Provence. It's impossible to resist the charm of this region: the Drôme Provençale! Those discovering it for the first time are quickly won over by the authenticity of its landscapes and white stone villages, typical of south-eastern France. It's a magnificent region, with enchanting scents, friendly people, magical places, and far from the crowds, unspoiled rivers where we love to swim!
