Many travelers don't get a real opportunity to spend time with French people during their vacations in France (except, perhaps, a waiter or a taxi driver). 

When you book a tour with France Just For You, we'll help you meet and get to know French people in each place you visit - from your French B&B hosts to expert private tour guides, all of whom speak some English.

This is a new way of traveling and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

And if you stumble into any difficulties or have a question during your trip, we - Emilie & Laura, your trip planners - will be the 'concierge in your pocket'. We'll always be ready to help!

Here's a bit more about the team:

Emilie & Guillaume

Born from the will of a French couple to share their love for their country, France Just For You is a family-operated tour company dedicated to organizing customized self-drive trips to France.

We, Emilie and Guillaume, met in 2003. After years traveling and working around the world, we are now settled in the heart of the Loire Valley, in the lovely town of Langeais.

Since childhood we have both learned to discover France off the beaten path, from quiet country paths and charming picturesque villages to bustling cities full of history. In love with our beautiful native land and its welcoming people, we want to share with you its hidden beauties.

Since Emilie has grown up in a B&B house, we are truly convinced that staying at a Bed&Breakfast home is the ideal way to discover the real France and enjoy the genuine hospitality of French people.

We organize "A La Carte" self-guided tours far away from the crowds. We are more than happy to share with you our selection of B&Bs, services and useful tips to make the most of your French experience!

A bientôt, Emilie

 

Laura

Shortly after finishing a Master’s in French history at Penn State, I married Jean-François from Burgundy and moved to France.

I have had the opportunity to live and travel in many different regions in France. I also had the pleasure of running my own B&B in the Loire Valley for several years. Today I am proud to be part of France Just For You.

My love for France has deepened, and continues to, even after 20 years of living here.

I am still enchanted when I come across an old village church with a local market out front, see a chateau floating in the distance while driving, or chatting with my table neighbor while people-watching from the terrace of my favorite café.

I look forward to crafting an experience for you that benefits from our knowledge and integrates your personal interests and passions. Meet the people, discover the treasures, taste the authenticity…

Welcome to France!     Laura

My wife and I were planning a special trip to Provence and although we didn't want a canned tour, we did want support to ensure we didn't miss out on experiences we simply weren't aware of. In our search we got lucky and found Emilie. She interviewed us in advance so she could customize the trip to our desires and interests and ultimately created …

We wanted my spouse's birthday trip to France to be special and we could not have expected such a perfect time. From initial communication with Emilie by email right up to having a driver meet us in Paris CDG airport, it was a stress-free vacation. Emilie provided first class service throughout and tailored our desire to see Paris, the Loire Valley …

We had an amazing experience visiting Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne in June 2018. We were a group of eight wine freaks and Emile & Laura organized an amazing itinerary with awesome attention to details. We definitely recommend FJFY!!
