Travel Experts (T.E.'s)

What is a T.E.? you ask?
Travel Expert’s are what makes France 4 Real and all of our travel products different. We train our staff to become experts in the areas we sell.

  • Our staff travels to all the destinations we offer to see first hand our guides, hotels and services to understand how best to plan your trip. 

  • Our staff takes tough examinations to become certified destination specialists and earn the title of Travel Expert.

    What does this mean for you? – A person who can help you plan all the small details that make the most difference while traveling like: What is the best way to drive from Normandy to Paris? Which area of Paris is best to book my hotel? What time do the French eat, sleep, open and close the shops?

    These are just a few of the important details our T.E.’s are trained to know. If your T.E. can not answer your question, they have access to a vast travel research library in our offices that allow them to get the answers you need to make the best travel planning decisions.
