As a passionate traveler and a proud explorer of France, I specialize in uncovering the hidden gems of this beautiful country. Having lived in Poitiers, Paris, and now Montpellier, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing France’s diverse culture and landscapes.
I love long road trips, stopping in charming, lesser-known villages to soak in their unique character and way of life. My mission on KimKim is to share these secret spots and create unforgettable, authentic journeys for my clients, letting them experience the real essence of France.

What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I live in the South of France and specialize in planning trips to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. I love helping people enjoy wine-tasting tours, walking through lavender fields, exploring hilltop villages, and tasting local olive oil. I also organize unforgettable Mediterranean Sea cruises.
I know many other beautiful places in France from my travels and work, so I can create different kinds of trips to match what you’re looking for."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I’ve always been passionate about traveling—whether with family, friends, or solo. This love for exploration inspired me to pursue a master’s in Tourism Management. Now, I’m fortunate to turn my passion into a profession.
As Mark Twain once said, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life." This sentiment perfectly describes my journey in the travel industry."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my most unforgettable travel experiences was a winter journey to the Alsace region. I stayed in a charming mountaintop village surrounded by snow and pine trees. The village was like an open-air art gallery, adorned with intricate wooden sculptures crafted by a local artist whose workshop was right in the center. Watching him create those masterpieces added a unique charm to the visit.
The trip ended perfectly with skiing at a nearby resort and indulging in the delicious culinary specialties of the region. It truly felt like stepping into a winter dream."
