Meet Madame Voyage
Bonjour, I’m Coco – Co-founder of Madame Voyage!
I was born and raised in Lyon, but I also spent part of my childhood in the beautiful regions of Provence and the French Alps. These diverse landscapes have given me a unique appreciation for the many facets of France, from the vibrant culture of Lyon to the peaceful countryside of Provence and the majestic mountains of the Alps.
With Madame Voyage, my goal is to share the best of France with you — from its rich history and stunning landscapes to its charming towns and welcoming people. I’m passionate about creating authentic experiences that allow you to connect with the true spirit of my homeland and make lasting memories.
I look forward to helping you discover the magic of France through our carefully crafted retreats and experiences.

Bonjour, I’m Anissa – the other half of Madame Voyage!
I’m fortunate to have been raised in France, a country I consider one of the most beautiful in the world. From stunning beaches to majestic mountains, France’s diversity never ceases to amaze me. But it’s the country’s rich history, culture, and food that truly captivate me.
Growing up surrounded by these elements, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the stories and experiences that make France so unique. My mission with Madame Voyage is to share that passion with you, offering authentic experiences that create lasting memories.
I’ll be at almost every retreat as a host, ensuring that you have the best time possible and get the most out of your experience. I’m here to guide you through the beauty, history, and flavors of my homeland.
