La France
France has always seduced people of all countries and ages. With some of the most iconic monuments in the world, its architecture, internationally renowned art, gastronomy, regional markets, magnificent landscapes, famous beaches, attractive ski resorts and astonishing history, France ranks first among global tourist destinations.
Visiting France means traveling to the land of your ancestors — but much more! It is an absolute must because visiting France also means tasting the French art of living. Discover a mosaic of places including regions with culinary specialties as well as varied terroirs. Visiting France recharges your batteries. Enjoy an inexhaustible network of hiking trails (some very old, such as the famous road to Saint Jacques de Compostela from Puy-en-Velay) as well as rivers and streams for recreation. Cycling, golf, and thalassotherapy are also close at hand.
But visit France first and foremost to meet people and make new friends you will want to come back to visit again. See you soon in France!

About us
Marie-Claire Prestavoine founded RACINES VOYAGES convinced that today’s tourism can meet new human and societal aspirations — and “back to basics” trips (genealogical tourism) are among those. Genealogy has experienced an extraordinary boom and its digitization has fostered mutual aid, sharing, and personal connections. Travel to the heart of one’s own history — what could be more motivating!
The values of RACINES VOYAGES are part of a slow-tourism approach: the art of traveling, where everyone can take their time to be introduced to the land and culture and have an exceptional experience. French specialist in genealogical tourism, RACINES VOYAGES transmits its passion with a constant concern for the quality of its services.
