Marie Tesson

Founder

Forever in search of something new, I love wandering through France to uncover hidden treasures. Epicurian by nature, I am enthralled by culture in every form, wine (with a special affinity for those from Bourgogne and Rhone valley), gastronomy and anything out of the ordinary.

Your Cultural French travel agency

France’s heritage goes beyond its marvellous historic sites and relics from past eras. A country’s cultural heritage is created and expressed through its people. The French people of today are the nation’s living heritage. Your bespoke, entirely private tour will include encounters and discussions with local people and artisans. Over a coffee and a pastry you will learn more about these guardians of France’s cherished cultural traditions. They are the heart and soul of the country’s most important trades, and uphold the traditions and expertise of their home regions. With skills passed down through generations, they welcome the opportunity to share their passions and savoir-faire. By meeting and interacting with these remarkable artisans, you will come to understand the traditions and customs that “make” the French French!

Feeling intrigued yet? Read on for more inspiration– and to find out why you should entrust us as your French travel agency on your next high-end getaway.

France’s dedication to preserving its past presents you with an array of awe-inspiring historic sites to visit: the Loire Valley with its fairytale chateaux; the Dordogne and its renowned prehistoric sites; Brittany and Normandy with their World War battle fields and splendid coastlines … without forgetting Paris and Versailles, which could alone easily satisfy travellers in search of cultural and historical discovery. Accompanied by our expert local guides, you will see the past come to life: so much so that you will almost feel as if you have gone back in time. If you’re interested in Jewish heritage tours in France, our private itineraries in Paris, Provence, Alsace and other regions are both illuminating and memorable.

Every tour will involve contact with local artisans and experts, as they are the guardians of France’s culture; its living heritage. You will gain so much more than the thrill and memories of witnessing magnificent historical sites. Painters, sculptors, glass blowers or potters will share their daily life, their passion, their expertise for a few hours. These encounters will deeply enrich your understanding and appreciation of French culture– and add considerable colour and creative force to your bespoke tour.

Discover, Dream, Taste, Learn and be Surprised!

Art is one of the most personal and subjective experiences; it is truly lived and felt on an individual level. Our goal is to ensure we tailor your artistic and cultural tour to your interests and passions. The rounded experience will involve discoveries in museums, exhibitions, and at regional heritage events. Just as important will be your local guide, bringing fresh perspective and life to your bespoke journey.

And much more!

Our private tours across France will offer you different approaches to exploring France’s rich culture. You may want to combine your cultural discoveries with other quintessential French experiences. If you are tempted by natural wonders and intrepid adventures, consult our France off the beaten track section. You may also be interested in discovering new epicurian experiences, such as our culinary explorations, cooking classes or our luxurious, bespoke wine tours.

client reviews

Used in the proposal of Mont-Michel. Marie-San from exclusive France tours has been very kind from her first contact, she was flexible on the schedule and the budget to best meet my requirements. In the preparation phase, we were able to communicate with you immediately by phone and email despite the 7-hour time difference. Mrs. Christèle, our guide, and the photographer Mrs Pauline were also professional and very kind, and I was able to make a proposal that was very satisfying as a result. If you would like to succeed in the proposal during a trip in France, we recommend exclusive France tours.

What a trip! The honeymoon was wonderful, and planned incredibly well, we can’t think of anything wrong. The detail on the itinerary was perfect and the guides were outstanding. Everyone was very knowledgeable and easy going. The special tours and lunches were just that, very special. Lots of memories to keep! Thank you again for helping me plan a successful honeymoon. I look forward to the next trip. We will contact you for any France trips in the future. Thanks!

Marie Tesson listens, internalizes what she’s heard, crafts well-thought out itineraries, isn’t afraid to suggest alternatives, and communicates earnestly with her clients. For our ‘Tour de France’, she has consistently gone beyond my expectations and I rate her new baby, Exclusive France Tours, a 10 out of 10.
