"We created 1889 in year 2015, with the conviction that clients' knowledge and treatment will be a major and strategic topic for luxury brands in the next decade. At that time, there was no company 100% dedicated to luxury brands.
Now a team of 10 people, we hired passionate project managers with previous job experiences within luxury brands, and a background in managing events.
We are deeply convinced that it is now time for the maisons to switch from storytelling to story living, and to create an emotional relationship with their clients through unique and bespoke experiences."
EXPECT PERFECTION...
" Our goal is to make sure that we allow our clients to live out their travel dreams!"

General Manager
1889 Travel France was named after the year 1889, the year that the Eiffel Tower was built in Paris for the world fair, the Exposition Universelle. In the year 1889, France was first in the world for its excellence in luxury and crafts. At 1889 Travel France, we also place excellence at the heart of our work: excellence of service, excellent attention to detail as well as to our unique locations and experiences.
1889 Travel France is an incoming travel agency focused on luxury travel and luxury experiences. We define ourselves as an experiential agency, one at the border of a travel agency and an events company.
We specialise in creating bespoke holidays and experiences all over France, and our team personally travels all around France in order to source the very best locations and experiences- we are very hands on in regards to the sourcing process.
We enable our travellers to enjoy the privilege of experiencing French excellence in arts, luxury and gastronomy by visiting workshops and spending unique moments with the greatest craftsmen, designers, and experts. Our expertise and contacts allow us to create experiences that are not available to the general public.
At 1889 Travel France, we believe that the ideal travel experience should combine intense emotions and unforgettable encounters, with the highest quality of service.
We pride ourselves on the level of detail and care we put into each and every experience. We tailor each and every request to suit the needs and wishes of the travellers, and do our very best to accommodate every single request- no matter how big or small.
Our travel experiences range from after-hours tours of the Louvre, extravagant dinners in castles, private dinners in the homes of Michelin star chefs, and encounters with celebrated French craftsmen, artists and designers. Our goal is to make sure that we enable our clients to live out their travel dreams!
