"Information was either scattered, lacked the details that interested me, or I could not figure out what was where in relation to where I was staying. I simply had no real idea what France outside of Paris or the French Riviera offered."Bob, founder of Wander in France
That was the whole problem in one sentence. There is an enormous, varied, deeply rewarding France beyond the obvious names, and almost nothing made it easy to plan a trip into it. The good information was scattered across forums and blog posts. None of it knew where you were staying, how long you had, or how any of it fitted together.
I know, because I tried to do it by hand. Planning a trip of my own, I started building a spreadsheet: every village, every drive, every market day, all of it in one place. It grew and grew until it was too large to be useful. The filtering became a nightmare, and the thing meant to organise the trip had quietly become a second project of its own.
So I went looking for an online tool that would simply do the job for me. There wasn't one. So I built it.
That tool is Voyageur, and Wander in France exists to remove that work for you. The idea was simple: take real, first-hand knowledge of these regions and turn it into something that builds your trip around where you are actually based, day by day, the way a knowledgeable friend would if you happened to have one who actually knew this part of the world.
The regions in Voyageur are the ones Bob has spent time in himself, beginning with the southwest and now spanning the full arc from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The itineraries reflect how he actually moves through this part of France: day trips kept within honest reach, villages chosen for being worth the stop rather than for being well-known.
Self-guided audio walks are in production. The first, for Monpazier, is recorded by Bob and will be available soon.
