Is traveling merely about moving from one place to another? If so, then your suitcases are the real travelers—they return heavier, misshapen!

For me, traveling is about encountering others—through what they have built, through what they have left for us to see. To travel is to understand why a landscape looks the way it does. In Europe, every landscape bears the mark of human history.

But travel is also an encounter with traditions, beliefs, culture, gastronomy, and even the way people dress and walk…

Walking, above all, a journey within oneself. More than any other mode of travel, it sharpens observation—of your limits, your body, and the natural world around you.

A bird taking flight at your feet, a mushroom or a wildflower at the edge of the path—things you might have otherwise missed—can suddenly brighten your day.

Walking through the countryside leads to more encounters than traveling by road. Fellow hikers cross your path, and without a word, you share an unspoken understanding of the experience. Locals, some still working the land, will gladly share stories of their region and daily life.

Though I often travel by faster means, I always make time for walking—perhaps as a tribute to my days as a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago.

In the comfort of your vehicle, you can leave the road worries behind as the driver takes you safely to your destination. Your elevated seat offers a wider view, allowing you to see farther and notice details that motorists often miss.

All our tours are carefully planned to ensure you experience the most fascinating sites and charming landscapes. Stops are scheduled for photos or to stretch your legs and relax.

I’ve been riding motorcycles for over twenty years and often have the opportunity to guide groups on multi-day discovery tours.

Each participant receives a road guide, outlining the stops, places to visit, and the tour is organized either as a convoy or with designated meeting points. Planned breaks provide explanations about what can be seen along the route. The circuits are always designed to follow pleasant and safe roads. For Quebec motorcyclists, a special program is available, including motorcycle rentals, helmets, gloves, and protective suits.

The group is accompanied by a van that transports luggage to the evening stop.

Some tour ideas include:

• The Pays d'Auge
• Burgundy’s Vineyards and Châteaux
• The Loire Valley
• The Bay of Somme
• Southern England (2 to 5 days)…

All of these tours are tailored to your preferences and fully customizable.

As an experienced pilot, I offer you the unique opportunity to explore France from the sky. With your own plane, I’ll prepare the navigation and guide you over the sites you’ve chosen. Together, we can select the best angles for breathtaking views and the most beautiful lighting for your aerial shots.

Just like with other forms of travel, themed circuits can be created, such as:

• The D-Day landing sites and Normandy battlefields (two hours from Deauville, for example)
• The three bridges and the Seine Valley (one hour from Rouen, for example)
• The Alabaster Coast and Normandy’s cliffs (one hour from Le Havre, for example)
• The medieval fortresses of Normandy: complete, in ruins, or as remnants
• Some remarkable castles in Normandy
• A touch of aerial archaeology (note: this is best at dawn or dusk, for optimal lighting)
