Private Tours of France

Tailoring the Exclusive : Crafting Memories Beyond the Extraordinary

Forget guidebooks and tourist traps—how about unlocking the secrets of France with keys that can’t be copied? These keys are earned through decades of genuine friendships, family ties, and a life spent uncovering the essence of France, one region at a time. With every door I open for you, there’s a story rooted in authenticity, connection, and history—stories you won’t find in glossy reels or guidebooks.

For 25 years, I’ve been curating journeys that transcend traditional travel. Having explored the world and immersed myself in every corner of France, I’ve gained a deep understanding of its terroir, traditions, and people. This isn’t just about visiting places; it’s about truly knowing them—the nuances of a vineyard’s soil, the whispered histories of a château, or the artistry of a small atelier hidden in the Provençal hills. My mission is to craft experiences that feel like stepping into the heartbeat of France itself.

Imagine tasting a Bordeaux vintage so rare it’s never left the cellar, shared with a winemaker whose family has tended the vines for generations. Picture yourself savoring a bespoke dinner in a Loire Valley château, where every dish is inspired by centuries-old recipes, prepared just for you. These aren’t experiences you can book online—they’re born from decades of relationships nurtured during my years in Burgundy and beyond.

Through my extensive travels and personal connections, I’ve built a trusted network of winemakers, artists, and families who open their doors not to tourists, but to friends. Whether it’s walking the lavender fields of Provence with a local artisan, exploring a private glacier route in Mont Blanc, or dining in an exclusive setting steeped in history, your journey is tailored to reflect your passions and dreams.

It’s not just about luxury—it’s about creating a profound sense of belonging in extraordinary places. After traveling the globe and spending years discovering every hidden gem in France, I’ve come to understand what makes a journey unforgettable: authenticity, connection, and the warmth of sharing moments that can’t be replicated. Let us craft your next adventure, unlocking stories and memories you’ll treasure forever.

Memory Makers

Embark on a Discovery of France’s Legacy

The most extraordinary experiences in France come through trust and personal connections. These aren’t just professional contacts—they’re my friends and family. That’s why I can offer moments like a private dinner in the Hospices de Beaune, a Champagne tasting at Krug with live opera, or a candlelit meal in the prehistoric caves of Lascaux. With us, you’re not just a guest—you’re part of the stories and traditions shared with those closest to me.

Dive Deep into Wine Mastery

France’s winemaking secrets aren’t just something I know—they’re part of my life. After 15 years married to a winemaker, my ties to this world run deep. From private tastings of rare vintages to vineyard dinners hosted by lifelong friends, I can open doors to experiences few will ever have. Imagine harvesting grapes alongside a winemaker or savoring a meal in the very vineyard where the wine was born.

Savor Epicurean Delights

As you engage with culinary virtuosos—from truffle hunters to celebrated chefs —you’ll uncover the artistry that defines French gastronomy. Through my close ties with Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF) and other culinary masters, we can arrange exclusive workshops where you cook alongside some of the best chefs in the country. Each encounter becomes a celebration of passion, precision, and the traditions that make every flavor unforgettable.

Experience Artistic Immersion

French craftsmanship is a blend of tradition and innovation, shared through our close-knit network of friends and family. You might find yourself in a Parisian atelier, watching a master create bespoke leatherwork, or in Grasse, crafting a signature scent with a renowned perfumer. In Burgundy, you could meet a master ceramicist preserving centuries-old techniques. These moments invite you to connect with the heart of French artistry in a truly personal way.

Celebrate French elegance

through encounters with the pinnacle of Haute Couture, High Jewelry, and more. Thanks to my close connections, we can arrange exclusive opportunities to meet renowned designers and artisans, or even take part in private workshops to explore their craft firsthand. It’s a celebration of the timeless elegance that has defined French luxury across ages, enriched by personal interactions and exquisite experiences.

Words from our travelers: cherished memories and heartfelt stories

Hi Marie, We had a delightful time! Thank you very much for designing a great tour. We particularly enjoyed the olive oil tour/tasting, truffle hunting, and cooking class. Thibault was a fantastic tour guide, too. I particularly appreciated his flexibility and patience with us. (…) Again, we had a lovely time and appreciate your effort for making our vacation great. I already miss Provence! And Vincent was just wonderful, he attended to our needs perfectly and we enjoyed his company too. So definitely 14 very happy ladies who didn’t want to return home. (The weather was fabulous too!) Many thanks again!

Used in the proposal of Mont-Michel. Marie-San from exclusive France tours has been very kind from her first contact, she was flexible on the schedule and the budget to best meet my requirements. In the preparation phase, we were able to communicate with you immediately by phone and email despite the 7-hour time difference. Mrs. Christèle, our guide, and the photographer Mrs Pauline were also professional and very kind, and I was able to make a proposal that was very satisfying as a result. If you would like to succeed in the proposal during a trip in France, we recommend exclusive France tours.

Marie, we are back to Monaco and I’m writing to you to say thank you for a great day we spend at Vougeot. All our friends are absolutely happy with the experience at this beautiful countryside of Bourgogne. The Citroen driving is definitely something, that we never tried before and it was so much fun! All our group and me personally would like to thank you Marie for a wonderful journey 😊 We plan to visit Bretagne in the end of May for my husband birthday, would you be interested to organize another trip for us? Hope you've got back home safely, maybe we could meet in Nice for a coffee sometimes 😉 Best regards,
