We’re Miguel and Sophie—a Franco-American couple brought together by a shared love of culture, travel, and meaningful human connections.
Bordeaux isn’t simply where we live. It’s where our story continues to unfold, and we’re delighted to share it with visitors from around the world.
Sophie is a Bordeaux native with deep roots in the region.
She grew up among vineyards, lively markets, and the gentle rhythm of Southwest France, developing a deep appreciation for the traditions and everyday pleasures that make Bordeaux so unique.
As the founder of Mrs. French, an acclaimed French immersion program, she has spent years helping people from around the world discover not just the language, but the French way of life.
Miguel’s journey to Bordeaux began with a love story.
After decades in New York, he followed both his heart and his curiosity to France, where he found a new home and a new way of life.
As a bilingual English trainer and cultural interpreter, he enjoys helping visitors feel at ease while bridging the small cultural differences that turn a trip into a genuine experience.
Together, we created Bordeaux With Us to offer something different from traditional sightseeing.
Rather than rushing from one attraction to another, we invite our guests to slow down and experience Bordeaux as locals do.

We believe the best memories aren’t made by checking places off a list.
They’re created through authentic encounters, shared stories, and moments of genuine connection.
That’s why we welcome only small groups and private experiences, giving every guest the time and attention they deserve.
Whether you’re visiting Bordeaux for the first time or returning to discover something new, we’d love to share our favourite places, local traditions, and hidden gems with you.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you experience Bordeaux not as a tourist, but as a friend.
We’d love to hear about your travel plans and help you create a memorable Bordeaux experience tailored to your interests.
Share your travel dates, interests and any special requests. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
