Our Story

Sophie

Bordeaux, Through Local Eyes

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

An American in Bordeaux

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.

Our Philosophy

Travel is most meaningful when it’s human.

 

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.

A personal invitation

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.
