Françoise flew me around the world last year - in a trip involving 4-countries that crossed both the North Pole and the Equator - flying me in comfort and simplifying what was a very complicated agenda that included numerous clients. And for all that she negotiated a better price than any conventional travel agent in better classes of service.
If you make trips you need Françoise.

I have been very impressed by Françoise and her attention to detail in organizing both business trips for me and leisure trips for my family. She is very well connected and always manages to provide a personal touch. I know that when Francoise has booked something for me, there will be all sorts of benefits - such as nice room upgrades, food, and spa credits and Champagne in the room. I know too, that she will be involved personally in ensuring that things run smoothly, checking in with the hotel and with me directly. It takes someone who is passionate about travel, fine food, and good service to deliver this type of quality. I highly recommend her.

Madame Rougé is exquisite in planning trips for our family each season. The experiences and luxurious accommodations that she is able to arrange for us are always extremely unique and custom to our preferences. Her strong bonds with Michelin-star chefs and 5-star hotels around the world allow her to create scenarios and adventures that are very special and unforgettable and we always feel like a V.I.P. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her recommendations are spot on. We are so honored to know her both personally and professionally over the years.
