Off-Season Escapes
As the ski season comes to an end in the French Alps, our thoughts turn to our beloved off-season destinations, those magical places that connect snow to water, from glacier peaks to rivers and oceans.
That’s where the idea came to life: to take you on a journey through the water cycle.
While we still offer smooth transitions with our spring expeditions in Iceland and Norway, where snow and water merge beautifully—we are excited to introduce new journeys that will inspire and rejuvenate.
We invite you to discover hidden gems, precious little corners of paradise that we’ve had the chance to explore, experience, and fully live.
We’re proud and thrilled to share them with you and to help you co-create a one-of-a-kind, tailor-made trip, the journey of a lifetime.
On the Water… French Polynesia
As the name suggests, it is a French overseas territory.
With its incredible exotic landscapes, vibrant marine life, unique flora, and the rich history and culture of its people, it remains an exceptional destination.
Just like the early Polynesians, the ideal way to explore and understand this culture is by sailing.
The lagoons offer calm, stunning anchorages, turning your boat into a comfortable, mobile base camp for your adventures.
Living on the water is a unique experience.
Gazing at the Milky Way, lulled by the gentle lapping of water from the deck of a boat, takes on a whole new meaning.
Sailing from island to island, you’ll have direct access to the lagoon for all your favorite water activities: diving, snorkeling, fishing, kite surfing, wing surfing, surf paddle… and foiling.
You’ll enjoy complete comfort on board, guided by your captain and a dedicated team including a chef, hostesses, and sport & cultural coaches.
Along the Water… Botswana
The legendary rivers, especially the Okavango, a crossroads for the great animal migrations, will enchant you with their wild beauty.
