Olivier Milla

I founded From France With Love from the passion to share the beauty, heritage and liveliness of France.

Awesome travel surprises shouldn't be left to chance and here is what you can expect if you entrust me with your itinerary:

- Proximity. I'll answer all your messages within 24h. From your first request to your departure from France.

- Responsiveness. There are many aspects and questions that need to be taken care of to make your trip a success. I take care of all.

- Craft. I design all trips from a blank page and design it for YOU, and YOU only.

- Creativity. I know France and I'll marry my expertise to your desire and the spirit of your trip.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in France and France only,
- including Monaco and Andorra.
- excluding France oversea territories (French Guyana, Réunion Islands, French Polynesia, Nouvelle-Calédonie, Kerguelen islands, etc.)"

How did you get involved in travel?

"Olivier was born in the dazzling city of Paris, but grew up by the majestic Atlantic ocean in the south west of France.

He has explored many paths, from managing a Swiss Family Office investments to co-founding a tech startup. But he found his true passion in sharing the beauty of France with his children.

He has travelled the world, living, working and doodling in India, Canada and across Europe. He now calls Paris his home again."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My best travel experience was going through the Rajasthan (North India, West of Delhi) by train. The ride was about 12 hours long with stops along the way. I sat by the train's (opened) door, watching the rocky desert as the sun rose."

We worked with Olivier as our tour guide. He was the best tour professional I have ever worked with. He paid close attention to all our requests. He designed our mother-daughter dream trip with care and attention to detail. On our last evening, Olivier planned a river cruise on the Seine and added in a surprise birthday cake delivered by the crew. Who could ask for more? Read more
