Discover Europe

Our very first trip traversed Europe more than 50 years ago, and we’ve been exploring, befriending, indulging (and occasionally, imbibing) our way across it ever since.&nbsp;Today we’ve got the Continent covered: feel the warm breeze brushing off the Adriatic Sea, take in the cool air (and cooler culinary scene) of the Nordic north, explore a land of Viking legend in Iceland or get whisked away to a real life fairy tale in Bohemia.

Timeless landscapes and rich histories

Discover Europe with Butterfield & Robinson.

La France Profonde

France isn’t a destination to us, it’s our second home, and we certainly love showing it off! We ensure that you experience France as the French do: decadently, poetically, and fashionably before anyone else. Come along as we crack open France’s coolest, most charming, and sometimes even clandestine cellars (for private tast-ings), kitchens (for private meals), and ancient castles (for a divine, windswept night or two). Ooh la la.

Discover the allure of castles, vineyards and riviera shores

Discover France as a second home, immersing yourself in its decadent, poetic, and fashionable side as we unveil hidden cellars, private kitchens, and ancient castles that evoke the true French spirit.

France | Butterfield & Robinson

A true gastronome with a deep passion for food and wine, French native Jérôme could hardly have chosen a better home base than the Loire Valley—France's bread basket. He specializes in treating travellers like royalty as he helps them delve deep into both the Loire and Bordeaux.

Born in France and captivated by food, wine, travel and languages, Jérôme began travelling the world as a young adult. A veteran planner—he’s been designing trips for 11 years—but he’s been part of the B&R team since 2006 working in several different roles, including guiding many trips over the past 18 years. Thanks to his expert knowledge of terroir, heritage and nature you’ll get to the heart of the storied French regions that he plans for.  

He’s married to a Canadian, Monica, who he met while living in Athens.

He can’t live without music and plays the piano.

He loves animals and has his own donkeys, chickens and house pony, which he cares for at his 17th-century farmhouse in southern Loire’s wine region.
