Pierre

I was born in Paris and lived there for most of my life until I moved to Bordeaux for a new job to work for a wine company. During my time here, I completely fell in love with Bordeaux, as well as Strasbourg and Reims, and truly discovered what we call in French art de vivre (the art of living).

What our travellers are saying...

Excellent guides, very friendly, competent and professional, who really know very well the regions that we visit and the wines of Bordeaux, answers to all questions, and who are passionate about their work. Activities pleasant, all rewarding, which help to better appreciate the wine. In short, I highly recommend going through this agency either to visit the Medoc , Saint-Emilion, or other or even just to learn to taste wines.

Thank you Rémi for this first discovery of the Médoc in good humor, exchange and above all ... full of many funny anecdotes! An original way to discover the region!

Daphne

I had already visited St-Émilion by bike with this company and I came back to go around the vineyards of the Médoc. The team takes care of everything and guides us on the road of discoveries of great wines. The guides are always friendly and knowledgeable.
