I’m Maël Renault, born in France, now living between the vineyards of Napa Valley and the coastal charm of northern Brittany. After a life devoted to travel, fine wine, and meaningful connection, I created this travel experience for those who crave something more intimate, more personal… and far less ordinary.

If you’re someone who skips the tourist traps, who wants to feel the soul of a place, its markets, its mornings, its quiet rituals, you’re in the right hands. I spent nearly a decade with Opus One Winery as an international trade specialist, and my background in luxury hospitality, gastronomy, and French wine runs deep. I’ve studied wine in France, lived in the Caribbean (where I met my Californian wife), and now split my time between my family home in Napa and my roots in France.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all travel agency. This is about designing trips that fit you, your energy, your tastes, your pace. Whether it’s a tucked-away village where the baker still knows everyone’s name, a seaside thalasso retreat known only to locals, or a cider tasting where you’ll be treated like family, I’ll get you there. And not just physically, but emotionally.

Because real France isn’t just the French . It’s the layers of history in a stone wall, the slow lunch’s, the elegance that doesn’t need to shout. I want to take you there, to the France most people don’t know, but never forget once they’ve seen it.
