At France By Locals, we believe that exploring the world can be done with respect for our beautiful planet and local communities. Our tailor-made holidays are not just trips: they are authentic, responsible experiences, rooted in strong values for sustainable, respectful tourism.
Gentle mobility
We favor environmentally-friendly means of transport to enable our travelers to discover France in a different way. Trains, bicycles, hiking… Each itinerary is designed to minimize the carbon footprint and promote soft modes of transport.
Local immersion and appreciation
Our tours are an invitation to discover local treasures: local produce, traditional crafts and cultural traditions. By working with local partners who share our values, we support the local economy and help promote less-visited areas. You’ll have the opportunity to meet passionate locals who’ll share their stories and daily lives with you.
Tips for responsible travel
Before you leave, we’ll give you a few recommendations for traveling in an eco-responsible way:
- Waste sorting: adopt the right reflexes to reduce your impact.
- Respect nature: stay on marked trails, avoid picking or disturbing wildlife.
- Respect for local people: adopt a friendly and curious attitude towards the locals, by learning a few words of their language or listening to their stories.
- Ecological driving: prefer simple gestures that limit your impact, such as switching off lights, consuming locally and avoiding single-use products.
Responsible partnerships
- We carefully select our partners to reflect our commitments:
- Eco-responsible accommodation (eco-labels, short food circuits, renewable energies).
- Activities in line with our values: guided walks by local experts, workshops on sustainable crafts or gastronomy.
- Alternative transportation to link the different stages of your stay.
