Clément Thonneau
Bonjour, mes amis! I'm Clement, a Frenchman through and through. You can usually find me pedaling my bike or cruising in my van, exploring all the beautiful nooks and crannies of my beloved country. I have a particular soft spot for the Basque Country, which always draws me back with its beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture.
And let's not forget about the food! As a true foodie, I'm always on the lookout for the next culinary adventure. Aligot, a cheesy mashed potato dish from the Auvergne region, is a personal favorite of mine.
As someone who works in the tourism industry, I've gained plenty of insight into what makes a trip truly special. And with my insider knowledge as a proud Frenchman, I'm always happy to share my tips and tricks with fellow travelers. So, who's ready to join me on an adventure through France or Elsewhere ( I love and know well Ireland, Spain and Portugal too :)
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I am mostly focused on France but if you want to combine my marvelous country to the pizza, the paella one or even the Guiness one, I will be here for you as well ! "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I felt in the travel world when I as a kid like Obelix did. I travel quite a bit with my parents mostly in France, Europe or Africa. I also lived in Ireland for a month when I was a teenager. So I guess I did love it so much that I wanted it to be my life. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"When I was living in Brazil, I've done a 48H trek in the lencois marahenses. This moment was just unique and unforgattable, we catched the pink moon during our walk through the desert and the ephemeric rain lakes before to catch back a pirogue to go back to the town. A real adventure. "
