About me

I am the founder of EXOD Agency, a France-based DMC specializing in Christian and Catholic group travel throughout France.

We work exclusively in B2B with international tour operators and travel agencies, acting as their local operational partner in France for Catholic pilgrimages and faith-based journeys.

EXOD Agency handles the full land arrangements for groups, including transportation, accommodation, restaurants, guides, activities, visits and on-the-ground logistics.

Our expertise is focused on France’s major Christian and Catholic destinations and sanctuaries, including Lourdes, Lisieux, Paray-le-Monial, Ars, Nevers, La Salette and many other significant religious sites.

Why did you join the community?

I joined Travel Massive to connect with international tour operators, travel agencies, DMCs and tourism professionals, develop new B2B partnerships and strengthen EXOD Agency’s international network. My objective is to build long-term relationships with travel professionals looking for a reliable local partner in France for Christian and Catholic group travel.

What is your favorite travel destination?

France, without hesitation.

What I love most about France is the incredible concentration of history, culture and spiritual heritage you can find within a relatively small territory.

This is also one of the reasons I created EXOD Agency. I believe France has an extraordinary Christian heritage that is still not fully known internationally, and I enjoy helping travel professionals discover how rich and diverse these destinations can be for their groups.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

The Holy Land.

For someone passionate about Christian history and pilgrimage travel, it is difficult to imagine a destination with more meaning. Visiting places connected to the origins of Christianity would be much more than a traditional trip for me.

I would love to experience the historical, cultural and spiritual dimension of the destination, but also to understand how pilgrimage groups experience it on the ground.

What was your first travel job?

My first professional experience in the travel industry was in travel production, working on trips for international groups and delegations coming to France.

I quickly discovered that travel production is much more than booking hotels and transportation. It is about understanding a group, anticipating problems, coordinating many different suppliers and making sure that everything works smoothly once travelers arrive.

What do you want to learn more about?

I want to understand even better how international tour operators and travel agencies develop and distribute special-interest travel, particularly faith-based and pilgrimage travel.

I am very interested in the differences between markets: how an American tour operator approaches a pilgrimage, how a Spanish-speaking agency builds a Catholic itinerary, how Asian groups perceive France as a religious destination, and what each market expects from a local DMC.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Faith. Connection. Discovery.

Faith, because travel can sometimes take us beyond tourism and connect us with something deeper — history, spirituality, purpose or personal reflection.

Connection, because travel creates relationships. We connect with people, cultures, communities and sometimes with people from our own group in a completely different way.
