Gersende Rambaud

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I design tailor-made journeys across France and Europe, from the lively streets of Paris and the castles of the Loire to my home region of Provence, the French Riviera, Normandy, Brittany and Alsace. I also create itineraries in the French and Swiss Alps, where cultural discovery blends beautifully with hiking and other outdoor adventures. Whether you’re looking for an off the beaten path escape or a relaxed city break, I’ll craft a trip that fits your pace and interests."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I first stepped into the travel industry as a receptionist in a lively hotel in central London, and later in a large holiday village in Provence. During my years in the UK, I tried out many different paths, working as a nanny, a barista, and even as a runner and extra on film sets. When I came back to France, I spent some time teaching English, which only deepened my interest in cultural exchange and human connection. A few years later, working with an American active travel company confirmed what I already knew deep down: that I’m passionate about creating meaningful and personalised travel experiences."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"At 20, I made a lifelong dream come true and moved to the UK on my own, carrying nothing more than a small suitcase. It was a real leap into the unknown, full of improvisation and a few risky choices, but it became the most formative experience of my life, both personally and professionally. I spent my time exploring the country and started putting together my very first travel itineraries, whether for solo adventures or trips with friends, from famous city landmarks to hidden forests and quiet, secret corners of the UK."
