Understanding the essence of being a French travel agency
When travelers think of a French travel agency, they envision experts who know every nook and cranny of the country—from its iconic landmarks to its hidden treasures. At France By Locals, our mission is to live up to this expectation by offering curated, authentic experiences throughout France. What sets us apart? It’s our dedication to exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations and fostering relationships with local partners, enabling us to craft personalized journeys that reveal the heart and soul of France.
A famtour to Avignon: exploring Provence as locals
Experiencing Avignon through local flavors
Recently, our team—Simon, Amandine, Julie, and Sebastian—embarked on a famtour to Avignon. Guided by a passionate local expert, we participated in a food tour that took us through the city’s vibrant markets and quaint eateries. From savoring traditional Provençal dishes to sampling artisanal cheeses and wines, this tour deepened our connection to the region’s culinary heritage.
Lunch at Les Halles d’Avignon
One highlight of our trip was lunch at the iconic Halles d’Avignon, where we met a talented chef who conducts cooking classes. The chef’s passion for regional cuisine inspired us, and we’re excited to offer this unique culinary experience to our travelers.

Finding the perfect accommodations
Revisiting trusted partners
During our visit, we took the opportunity to inspect two hotels we frequently collaborate with. Both properties impressed us with their continued commitment to quality and hospitality, reaffirming our trust in their ability to provide exceptional stays for our clients.
Discovering a new gem
Our exploration led us to a delightful new guesthouse, tucked away in a quiet corner of Avignon. With its charming decor and welcoming hosts, this guesthouse embodies the spirit of Provence. We’re eager to include it in our portfolio and introduce our travelers to this hidden treasure.
How we achieve local expertise across France
On-the-ground exploration
To truly understand a region, we believe in experiencing it firsthand. Our team regularly embarks on famtours to lesser-known destinations, ensuring that our knowledge is both authentic and up-to-date. By walking the cobblestone streets, tasting regional dishes, and meeting local artisans, we immerse ourselves in the essence of each location.
Collaborating with passionate locals
Our network of local guides and partners is the backbone of our success. These individuals share insider knowledge and offer access to unique experiences that tourists rarely encounter. Whether it’s a private tour of an olive grove in Languedoc or a boat trip along the Canal du Midi, our collaborations bring an extra layer of authenticity to our itineraries.
Off-the-beaten-path destinations we love
Tarn-et-Garonne: rural charm
In southwest France, Tarn-et-Garonne offers a tranquil escape from the bustling cities. With its rolling hills, historic villages like Auvillar, and family-owned farms, it’s perfect for travelers seeking a slower pace.
Jura: wine and wilderness
Known for its unique yellow wines and pristine landscapes, Jura is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs alike. Our itineraries often include visits to remote vineyards and scenic hikes.
Vaucluse: Provence’s quiet side
Beyond the lavender fields, Vaucluse offers serene towns like L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famous for its antique markets, and Gordes, a hilltop village with breathtaking views.
