French Promise Founder, Philip Haslett has built a unique network of the finest luxury partners, guides, artisans, hotels and restaurants throughout France.  Our dynamic, multilingual team is available upon arrival with our main offices in Aix-en-Provence. And for complete peace of mind, we have created our own French luxury transportation company to ensure you are effortlessly transported from the moment you arrive. 

With 35 years of experience in France’s luxury tourism trade under his belt—including stints as a hotel barge captain and hot air balloon pilot—Philip has a deep-seated knowledge of all the country has to offer, from such tried-and-true destinations as Paris and the Riviera, to such off-the-beaten-path alternatives as French Basque Country, Brittany and the Ile de Re. Philip has access to the country’s most intriguing artisans and craftsman, making for tours that are as mind-expanding as they are pleasurable.

His speciality areas include the hidden pockets of the South of France, along with wine tastings in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Loire Valley. Philip often plans multi-week trips for clients that span the entire nation highlighting the best kept secrets of France. Philip also makes sure to build in cultural experiences, like a private after-hours tour of the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, or a VIP Formula 1 tour around the track.
