THE TEAM
After 10 years working in Advertising and Public Relations for the luxury industry, I decided to change my career and I built my own boutique Travel Agency. I spent time across France discovering the rare gems in my country and meeting incredible partners to offer outstanding experiences off the beaten path.
From this point forward, I combine my passion for France and my expertize in project management and events for high-end customers who want to experience authentic and unique adventures, always with a bespoke treat. If you recognize yourself in this description, just get in touch.
A bientôt en France!
Marie Vendroux-Deppe, Founder and Travel Designer
Bonjour everyone,
My name is Alona and I love making your French dreams come true!
After 10 years in the hospitality business, I know that attention to detail is crucial to deliver a great guest experience. I’m happy to use my planning skills
to help you enjoy your « voyage » to France.
I was born in Ukraine and lived there until my twenties. I moved to France in 2013 and it has become my second home. In my free time I love playing drums and piano, and I also enjoy capturing moments through my camera.
See you soon in France!
Alona, Travel Designer
I’m Anaïs, and after living in the US for 5 years, I returned to France at the end of 2021. Since then, I made it my goal to rediscover France and its many regions, each of them with its own
identity, culture, folklore and gastronomy.
I am a proud bretonne from Finistère, meaning the “end of the earth”, famous for its Kouign Aman, a (very) buttery pastry. I love baking cakes and cookies, and one of my absolute favorites is the gâteau breton. I also love going on long walks with my husband and our Australian Shepherd Masha.
To me, it is important to learn about the history of a place and to explore the must-see sights, but is is also nice to be surprised by a lesser-known monument, an unloved street, and to wander
off the beaten path.
I love to stumble upon new places, especially when it comes to food. Besides the obvious sightseeing, I’ve found that the best way to really learn about a place and meet people is through food.
I’ve worked in many fields, from teaching French to crafting tailored international trips for American travelers. I’m looking forward to helping you plan your dream trip and to create
everlasting memories.
Anaïs, Travel Designer
