Experiences Curated with Intention
Baguettes & Backroads designs slow, place-based journeys shaped by curiosity, care, and a deep respect for local culture. These experiences aren’t built around checklists or constant movement. They’re designed for travelers who want to move thoughtfully, engage deeply, and understand a place through its history, landscape, and everyday life. Each journey is crafted with attention to rhythm and context. Guided moments with space to wander, reflect, and connect. The result is travel that feels grounded and human, rooted in relationship rather than consumption.
Authentic Paris
Step into the Paris that breathes between the postcards — where Roman ruins, covered passages, neighborhood markets, and quiet gardens invite you to listen more than look. This experience weaves together stories, flavors, and neighborhoods that reveal the city’s hidden heart.

Rooted in the Alps
Settle into the quiet heart of Switzerland, where alpine trails wind through pine forests and glacial canyons echo with centuries of stillness. We camp in rustic cabins near the foot of the three peaks. Our days blend movement and meaning. Hikes are tailored to each traveler, for time to simply be with the land.

Christmas in Alsace

France Unfiltered : The Forgotten Heartland
A journey into Jura, Bourgogne, Franche-Comté, Doubs, and Haute-Marne, where terroir, tradition, history, and landscape speak louder than landmarks. Here, you feel the land beneath your feet and the rhythm of a slower France, one shaped by generations and often missed by the main road.
Eastern France
Villages, Vines, and Vosges
Wander through quiet vineyards and tucked-away villages where daily life still moves with the seasons. In the hills of the Vosges, hike to castle ruins, circle still lakes, and rest at rustic auberges. This is a journey into the heart of Alsace, where generations of winemakers have shaped the land with care.
