SARA
Since I was a kid, my dream was to travel around the world! I started reading many books & that was my way of wandering around the globe & learning about other cultures. Now, I travel as much as I can, eager to explore new destinations. In awe in front of the beauty of the different landscapes, the kindness of the locals & deliciousness of the local gastronomy (I'm a huge foodie!).
Languages spoken: French, English, Arabic
Favorite location in France: Provence, especially during the summer, with the lovely lavender fields, the local markets in small towns, spending one day at the beach & the next day at the Mont Ventoux! The sunny warm weather makes it perfect!
AGATHE
Interestingly, I was really keen on visiting foreign countries rather than France when I started traveling. My love for the country of romanticism really grew after spending a year abroad, when I came back & decided to spend time in different regions of France: the Riviera, the Alps, the Atlantic coast. It felt like a real discovery and it seemed only fair to share the beauty of France with fellow travelers, which led me to join Meeting The French team!
Languages spoken: French, English, Spanish, Portuguese.
Favorite experience in France: sailing in Quiberon Bay in Brittany, the landscapes are amazing, the local food is great & the feeling of freedom is incredible.
SILVIA
When I listened for the very first time a French person speaking, I fell in love with this language. Always wanted to live in France to improve my French so I applied to a Tourism Master program. Since I got my degree, I am part of this wonderful team, Meeting the French.
Languages spoken: Spanish, French, English.
Favorite destination in France: I have visited some French regions, but my favorite will always be Brittany, full of history, beautiful landscapes, & delicious meals.
Favorite experience in France: the summit of the Eiffel Tower where you can admire the city of lights.
CLOÉ
Thanks to my parents, I fell in love with traveling & discovering new places, landscapes, & cultures, as well as meeting new people.
Favorite location in France: my favorite regions in France are Provence & French Riviera as it's my home (I was born in Frejus!).
Favorite experience in France: I love spending time at the beach during summer, wandering in the cobbled streets of the beautiful villages or even enjoying a delicious ice cream in Nice (one of the best in the region!)
