Amandine Baillarguès
Originally from the south of France, I have a deep attachment to my region. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a passion for adventure and discovery, I’ve had the privilege of exploring my country through numerous road trips, which has made me fall in love with its treasures. My goal is simple: to offer my guests stays that convey this love for France, by introducing them to the diversity of its landscapes, its gastronomy, its activities, and, most importantly, its people, who are at the heart of our experiences. In short, to let them experience the true French art of living.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"As a gourmet and wine lover, I'm well versed in the history of French gastronomy."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I had the opportunity to travel to Morocco for over a month with a local when I was 13. I had the chance to get off the beaten track and discover the country in one of the best ways possible: by sharing with the locals! Following this experience, I was hooked on a passion for discovering the world! Since then, I've continued to travel the world with my backpack and my converted van. France remains one of my favorite destinations for road trips."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It's hard to choose a travel experience. However, I could mention the experience of my solo trip to Colombia. Very stimulating, memories of magnificent landscapes and above all fabulous locals who welcomed me as if we'd known each other forever. "

Our driver was very nice, but when he dropped us off at the airport to go home, he took us to arrivals because it was so busy. That wasn’t a big problem except he had to leave in a hurry and didn’t tell us how to get to our terminal. another nice driver walked us to the entrance and pointed us in the right direction.

Dear Clay,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted everything went smoothly (and that your parking adventure had a happy ending—our guides truly are superheroes in disguise ✨🚗).
We’re also thrilled the “plan B” turned into an even better experience—sometimes travel magic works that way! As for the Provençal sun, we’ll keep working on our weather-control department… but until then, chilled rosé and shady café terraces will have to do the trick 🍷☀️.
We’d be very happy to welcome you back anytime for more discoveries (with or without parking challenges!).
