I have been making this journey since 2002, guiding newbie francophiles  on the joys of all things French.  As an art historian and designer, I began these voyages as a grad student snooping for primary evidence related to French art. My passions inevitably found the flea markets and I am still snooping. It has always been an unwavering hunt for the next great "find" in the most magical place on earth. France never disappoints. After 20 years— and hundreds of visits, there is always a new discovery. I deeply respect and cherish French culture.  I curate memorable lux trips tailored to small groups of intrepid seekers. From the venerated haunts of Paris to the romance of Provence and beyond, I create experiences with a point of view based on years of practical & logistical experience. My goal is to share what I have learned and in the process, create a new francophile.
