Twelve guests maximum
Small enough that everyone gets time with me, and quiet enough to genuinely rest.
The French Experience
Luxury small-group travel in France, hosted by Christine.
Born in France, I have spent my life moving between two cultures. The French Experience is how I share the one I grew up in: a small group, beautiful places, real food and the kind of slow days that reset you.
What it is
A small group, a French way of living, and time to breathe.
Twelve guests maximum. Days built around markets, gardens, long lunches and places that never appear in guidebooks. I plan it the way I would plan it for my own family, and I host every departure myself.
This is not a coach tour. It is slow, generous and unhurried: the kind of trip that gives you back more energy than it takes.
