Erwan
Nature Travel Planner & Regional Expert
My passion for France wasn't learned in books, but on the ground. Trained in ecology, I spent years studying our forests, mountains, and coasts. This experience allows me to read the landscapes like no one else and find preserved spots for you, far from mass tourism. I also spent a few years in Brittany and at Mont-Saint-Michel. I worked there for a long time as a guide and nature expert. I learned to tell the history of these places while observing the wildlife. It is this dual approach, between culture and nature, that I infuse into every itinerary I create. I am also very athletic. Whether cycling or running, I love exploring the backroads and vineyards of the South of France. These explorations help me scout the best paths for your vacation. I test the routes to guarantee they are beautiful, accessible, and interesting. Today, I put this field knowledge at your service. As a Travel Planner, I don't just book hotels: I design trips that make sense, are respectful of the environment, and connected to reality. With me, you will discover a living, wild France.
