Travel to the United States: tailor-made tours, hotels and stays from our partners
California, a land of contrasts where the American dream takes root between arid deserts and ancient forests, offers a range of experiences that defy the imagination.
Imagine a ride on the legendary Route 1, where every turn reveals breathtaking panoramas, from craggy cliffs plunging into the ocean to vineyards undulating in the sun.
To the north, San Francisco stands like a cultural jewel, with its sloping streets, iconic streetcars, and an open-mindedness that makes it a bastion of innovation and diversity.
Further south, Los Angeles, with its glamorous allure and creative energy, is only part of the journey.
Between these two metropolises, natural wonders and cities steeped in history await you, promising endless discoveries.
California isn't just a destination;
it is an invitation to adventure, a call to live intensely.
So, are you ready for the trip of a lifetime?

Our guide and maids in Palm Springs, California Adobe Stock
With its azure blue skies, year-round sunshine and rows of palm trees lining its straight avenues, Palm Springs has attracted travelers for more than a century.
From the 1940s, Hollywood stars came to hide their secret passions there, and organized memorable parties around the swimming pools of their modernist houses.
The epicenter of this architectural trend, the city has retained its retro chic charm thanks to these buildings which have become iconic.
It has even become a veritable open-air museum of “Desert Modernism” style, celebrated twice a year during
Modernism Week
(in February and October).
