Meet the French Touch Team
Sophie & Fabrice, Founders & CEO
Raised in the picturesque regions of Provence and the Loire Valley, we each followed unique career paths. Sophie’s journey began along the stunning French Riviera, where she embarked on a career in travel with a Destination Management Company (DMC), honing her expertise in crafting bespoke travel experiences over more than a decade. Meanwhile, Fabrice worked across various industries before moving to the U.S. to pursue a career as a computer engineer.
It was there that we met, as Sophie enjoyed 15 successful years in Florida’s travel industry. In 2013, we returned to France, reigniting our shared passion for designing luxury travel experiences tailored to English-speaking clients, while putting together a team of talented individuals committed to continuously exploring new destinations to ensure we offer you only the very best that Europe has to offer.

Keji, Travel Designer Manager
With a background in International Relations, I’m currently based in Bordeaux, France’s famed wine region. With roots in West Africa, my journey has taken me from the heart of the continent to the iconic streets of Europe, including the elegance of Paris, the charm of Vienna, and the rich culture of the Basque region. I’ve also explored France’s diverse and stunning regions extensively. What’s most important to me is understanding who you are and what will turn an ordinary trip into the trip of a lifetime.

Julie, Travel Designer
After earning a Bachelor's degree in International Relations, I felt compelled to experience the countries I had studied firsthand. This ambition took me to Portugal for work and then to Northern France, immersing myself in these cultures ignited my passion for travel, and even though I will never forget my Ohioan roots I have found a new home in Bordeaux, the heart of France’s stunning wine country. Having explored over 20 countries, I've gained a greater appreciation and understanding of travel in which I am thrilled to share with you so that you can create your own cultural experiences to remember for a lifetime!

Tenley, Travel Designer & Planner
A childhood spent living in Japan, Germany, Spain, and England imparted in me a passion for travel, and moreover, a desire to become a cultural chameleon in each of my adoptive homes. I frame my own and my clients travel the same way, so we can explore the world and its many treasures respectfully and authentically.

Romane, Director
As a passionate French traveler, I’ve called the Loire Valley, western France, Paris, and now Bordeaux home.

Olivia, Personal Travel Planner Manager

That's when I joined French Touch Travel, where I apply my passion for detail to craft personalized, seamless trips for my clients.

Alexia, Personal Travel Planner
Originally hailing from the picturesque region of Provence and having spent five enriching years in Paris, I relocated to Florida in 2012. With over 15 years of experience in the travel industry and a passion for exploration that has taken me to more than 15 European countries, Europe remains my heart's favorite destination. Its rich culture, exquisite cuisine, captivating history, and vibrant art scene are what ignited my love for travel. I continue to journey back to Europe frequently, returning each year to the South of France to uncover hidden gems that inspire unforgettable experiences for our clients. As a travel sales specialist focused on Europe, I leverage my French-American background to cater to each traveler's unique preferences and interests.

Marianthi, Travel Planner Assistant - Intern
I’ve been traveling for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Athens, my
family and I would explore the Greek islands by boat. Later, I moved to Crete
to study and earned my bachelor’s degree there. Our family trips expanded to
different cities and countries, and at 18, I began exploring Europe on my own.
I’ve also lived in Spain for six months and now live and work in France. For
me, traveling is way more than just a hobby, it’s a way of life that has shaped
who I am today. With my travel experience, I’m here to ensure you have an unforgettable time
exploring Europe.
