In Southeast Asia, Laos has chosen to turn its back on frantic modernity. This is its entire charm and the guarantee of a change of scenery.

Today, the agency\u2019s French-Lao team plans each itinerary with its travellers and coordinates arrangements on the ground with its local guides and partners.  <\/p>\n<h2>What sets us apart<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A team on the ground<\/strong>: based in Vientiane, we plan your trip using our knowledge of Laos and information from our local partners. We take the seasons, travel conditions and accommodation into account when designing your itinerary.  <br \/><strong>We speak your language<\/strong>: our team supports you in English, from planning your trip to assistance during your stay. English-speaking guided visits are arranged according to your itinerary. <br \/><strong>Direct contact with our team<\/strong>: you speak with the people who plan your trip and coordinate its organisation on the ground.
