Co-founder, François Dunoyer, was raised outside of Paris in Versailles. He spent childhood summers at his ancestral home near Toulouse in the southwest of France. His wife Lisa, a native of England, moved to Paris shortly after graduating from University with a degree in French. The two met there and moved to the French Riviera, where they married and had three of their four children. In 2000, th

ey moved to the United States settling in Annapolis, Maryland, traveling back to France regularly on family vacations. In 2017, Francois and Lisa finally acquired a villa of their own in their beloved French Riviera, in the village of Le Bar sur Loup. The idea for Tournesol Travel came about as Francois had been creating detailed itineraries for friends and colleagues for years and Lisa had been working for a luxury travel company catering to Ireland and Great Britain. Sharing a huge passion for France’s beauty, culture, food and wine, they both have found much joy in planning customized trips to France that go way beyond the standard destinations and sightseeing. Thanks to an extensive network of local contacts and service providers, Tournesol Travel is able to facilitate memorable experiences and authentic moments that will stay with you for a long time—memories you will be so fond and proud of, you’ll want to share them with your family and friends for years to come.

Emotional, impactful, and powerful are a just a few words that come to mind to describe touring the D-Day Beaches and American Cemetery in Normandy. ✝

Having the opportunity to be led by an expert, local guide (who has lived in the area his entire life!) absolutely took our breath away. 🇫🇷🌻

Visiting the beaches and American Cemetery is an emotionally profound experience that starkly illustrates the sacrifices made during World War II. The rows of white headstones serve as a poignant reminder of the lives lost, instilling a deep sense of gratitude and reflection on the cost of freedom. Words cannot fully capture the feeling of standing in the solemn beauty of the landscape, where the echoes of history and the sacrifice of countless souls are palpably felt. ❤️

Autumn in Burgundy...what a gorgeous time to visit this region of France! 🍷🇫🇷

In Autumn, the vines transform the landscape into a tapestry of vibrant reds, golds, and browns as the grapevines shed their leaves, signaling the end of the harvest season. 🍂

The air is filled with the rich aroma of ripe grapes, while local winemakers bustle with excitement, preparing for the promise of new vintages to come. 🍇

🍇 ➡️ 🍷

Harvest season in the Bordeaux wine region typically occurs from late September to mid-October, when grapes reach optimal ripeness under the region's favorable climate. This bustling time involves meticulous handpicking, as vintners aim to capture the distinct flavors and characteristics that define Bordeaux wines.

Our lovely clients, Laurel and Paul, make gougères, a local speciality of Beaune. 🧀

Beaune, a charming town in the heart of Burgundy, is renowned for its historic architecture and exceptional vineyards. Pairing perfectly with local wines, gougères—light, airy cheese puffs—offer a delicious taste of the region's culinary heritage. 🍇

Can you name this UNESCO World Heritage site located near Nîmes, Uzés and Avignon? 🇫🇷

If you said Pont du Gard, you are correct! Pont du Gard is a well-preserved ancient Roman aqueduct located in the South of France. Built in the first century AD, its three tiers of arches, made of limestone, showcase remarkable engineering and architectural skill. 😍

Words from our clients, Mark and Margaret, that encapsulate the essence of Tournesol Travel…

“Tournesol – that small sunflower reaching toward the sun on a soft morning in Provence. An interesting name for a travel agency. Yet at the end of our journey, quite appropriate. We truly appreciate the care and expertise that went into our trip. You arranged for us to meet France where it lives, and its people. The pastoral countryside as we travelled by car, the young couple who took such good care of us at the Belle Normandy, the tour guides who put their whole heart into opening French culture and yes to a small cafe around the corner from our hotel in Paris— all Tournesol !!! Thank you for your professionalism, thank you for your care, thank you for your vision.”

Nothing warms our hearts quite like this. Thank you for letting us share our love for France with you. 🌻♥️
