From our travellers

I always strive to provide my clients with exclusive, authentic experiences, and Essentially French delivered an absolutely perfect Champagne journey. My clients—a couple celebrating their anniversary—wanted something beyond the standard tastings, and this itinerary exceeded all expectations.

What made this experience so special was the carefully selected boutique producers they visited afterward. Meeting the winemakers, seeing the traditional methods up close, and tasting limited-production cuvées added a deeply personal touch. My clients returned home saying this was one of the most memorable trips of their lives—and that’s exactly the kind of experience I want to offer.

James R.

I worked with Essentially French to organize an art focus stay in the capital for a family , and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner on the ground. Every element was curated with care ; from exclusiveentrances in hidden Parisian galleries to a private encounter with a designer, the experience felt genuinely authentic. Essentially French made my job easy. They understand what it means to go beyond expectations and craft meaningful, local experiences that clients remember. I’ll absolutely be calling on them again for future trips ; both professional and personal.

Karen G.

You made our French trip truly memorable and completely hassle-free. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The local guides, as well as the car and Vespa drivers, added so much charm and personality to the experience. The city tours in Paris and Lyon were real highlights — our guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind, flexible, and full of great local tips. Whether it was exploring hidden corners of Montmartre or tasting bouchons in Lyon, every moment felt authentic and thoughtfully planned.
You gave us such a warm, personal, and unforgettable experience that we’re already dreaming about our next trip to France.
