Explore France: From Paris and beyond!

I have been passionate about France for as long as I can remember! From iconic highlights to hidden treasures, I help clients experience France through seamless, custom-planned itineraries. From wine country, lavender fields to the chateaux of Bordeaux, France continues to enchant travelers from around the world. No visit to France is complete without a visit to Paris. A must visit destination for history, art, fashion, food (and more food)!

Why Book France With Me?

Cultural Immersion: I prioritize authentic, local experiences like cooking classes, wine tastings, and boutique stays.

France River Cruise Specialist: I offer expert guidance on sailings along the Rhône, Seine, Garonne, and beyond—ideal for art, wine, and history lovers. I am a certified River Cruise advisor with AmaWaterways, Riverside Luxury Cruises, Avalon, Tauck, Adventures by Disney and Viking.

Normandy Deep Dives: Custom itineraries focused on WWII history (D-Day Beaches, Pont du Hoc, American Cemetery) coastal charm, and culinary excellence.

Sailing on the Mediterranean: Sailing the French Riviera on with Windstar, Azamara, or Disney Cruise Line offers a refined, effortless way to explore gems like Nice, Cannes, and Monaco.

Paris & Beyond: I help you enjoy Paris in style and escape the city with ease, whether to the Loire Valley, Provence, or the French Riviera.

Luxury Castle Stays: Imagine sleeping in a château surrounded by vineyards or countryside charm—I make it happen.

Tailored Food & Wine Tours: From Bordeaux to Burgundy, I connect clients with immersive, insider culinary experiences.

Guided Tours Through France: Let someone else handle the details while you explore France with ease. Whether you choose Globus, Tauck, or Adventures by Disney, these expert-led tours include hotels, transportation, and immersive experiences. I can help break down all the options for you!

From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, you’ll enjoy seamless travel, rich storytelling, and unforgettable moments without the stress of planning.If you’re dreaming of France, I’d love to help you experience it with style, ease, and authenticity.

I am continually expanding my knowledge on the destination through personal travel, supplier trainings and relationships and working towards my B2 French language certification!

Bon Voyage!
