"Oeonology and Geogology graduate from Bordeaux University, I have inherited from a long family tradition of winemakers a passion for the region of Bordeaux, which I decided to share by creating My Private French Travel. After a successful career in the industry and real estate, it is time for me to get back to my roots, and it brings me real joy to share with people the lifestyle and craftsmanship that made the reputation of our region. The experiences we create will always reflect our passion for authenticity, craftmanship, curiosity... and of course our favorite adresses!"

"After 42 years of activity in real estate and construction in Bordeaux, passionate for the South West from the Charentes to the Basque country without forgetting of course the city and vineyards of Bordeaux, I was solicited many times by customers, colleagues, friends to speak and present our region and its vineyards, from the most prestigious addresses to the more intimate domains held by very beautiful people with many stories .... I was born in the middle of the vineyards and wine cellars, because my family is originally from the viticulture and the cooperage industry! Back to my roots, thanks to the complicity of a friend and associate ...."

 “ Foodie and passionate about travel, I was lucky to live since my youngest years surrounded by the best wines in Bordeaux. WSET level 3 graduate, I am always keen on discovering wines from here and away, and their stories. Sustainability is paramount to me, may it be through reducing your footprint while travelling but also through inclusive tourism benefiting all the actors of our territories. 

After living for 10 years abroad, I have decided to get back to my roots to share the best of our region, renowned for its craftsmanship and history. It is always a pleasure for me to share these experiences with people from different backgrounds and cultures. "

"Originally from Russia, I fell in love with Bordeaux and its region as soon as I arrived. And ten years later, I still continue to discover hidden treasures, magnificent chateaux and breathtaking views. WSET level 2 graduate I adore exeptional wines of this region.

Bordeaux is a place to visit and revisit. The local art of living is a true source of joy, calm and inspiration. And it also inspires me to share this art of living with those who come to visit."

"Originally from the southwest, I have always been passionate about showcasing this beautiful region. A stunning place, a delicious meal, or a fine glass of wine—so many treasures to share and enjoy without moderation. There is a lovely quote about this: "Happiness is the only thing that doubles when shared."

After a professional journey rich in experiences and encounters, it was only natural for me to continue creating moments with you that reflect who you are."

"I am not originally from the southwest, but I fell in love with this region 30 years ago. This area offers an exceptional playground, thanks to its geography, cultural and architectural heritage, and culinary expertise. For me, it is above all a spectrum of tastes and colors.

As an epicurean and somewhat of a gourmand (I admit...), discovering new flavors and meeting wonderful people, as well as exploring exceptional and little-known places, is always a genuine pleasure. My goal today is to take you with me to discover all these gems that define our local heritage and beyond."

"Born in Normandy and a Bordeaux native at heart, I moved to the Bordeaux region at the age of 15. During my studies, I had the chance to live in Germany, Mexico, and Guatemala. I discovered incredible cultures that shaped my worldview and fueled my passion and curiosity for discovery. After working in several cities across France, including Lille and Paris, I returned to the Bordeaux region two years ago.

Driven by the desire to share the treasures of our magnificent region, I aim to showcase its unique beauty and offer memorable experiences to our visitors."
