Our Story
Born from a profound love for French heritage and an obsession with perfect hospitality, we craft journeys that elevate the French art de vivre.
The Baguette Travel Ethos
Baguette Travel was born from a simple belief: true luxury doesn't lie in ostentation, but in exclusivity, authenticity, and time.
We don't sell pre-packaged tours. We unlock the secret doors of France—the ones only locals know—to weave hand-stitched memories just for you.
Meet Our Team
Léo Mallet
Founder & Travel SpecialistPassionate about travel since always, I was lucky enough to make tourism my profession over fifteen years ago. Restaurants, hotels, tourist offices, or travel agencies: each experience has allowed me to discover a new facet of hospitality and service.
For nearly five years, I lived in Mexico where I assisted an international clientele in creating bespoke high-end journeys. What did I learn there? That an exceptional stay relies as much on the quality of encounters as on flawless organization.
Today, based in France, I am committed to sharing my country through this same lens. My role is to design authentic, elegant, and perfectly orchestrated experiences. With us, you can fully enjoy every moment while we take care of the rest.
Valentin Simonnet
Founder & CEOA passionate traveler, I have had the privilege of exploring cultures worldwide. From the temples of Thailand to the deserts of Egypt, passing through the sublime roads of our beautiful France that I love to roam, travel is a part of my life.
But for the magic of a trip to unfold, the behind-the-scenes organization must be perfect. That's where I come in. Before founding this agency, I spent 7 years at Amazon, where I managed complex logistics. What did I learn there? Rigor, high standards, and that the client must always be at the center of everything.
My role today is to offer you the best of both worlds: journeys designed with boundless passion, but managed with millimeter precision. You set out to explore with peace of mind; I ensure everything else is under control.
