Surrounded by a team of enthusiasts and drawing on the company’s long-standing expertise, the leader steers the business toward a decisively more immersive, human-centered, and time-conscious direction.
A Passionate Transmission and a Collaborative Project
Visit Europe’s history is rooted in the heart of the French tourism landscape since the early 1990s. After climbing through every rung of the company to eventually oversee its production and operations, Frédéric Brigand preserves the tour operator’s DNA and technical know-how. Accompanied by seasoned colleagues, he relaunched the activity within the framework of a CAPE with the aim of structuring the company as a SCOP. This cooperative model reflects a commitment to sharing decision-making on a human scale. The brand’s geographic footprint spans across Europe, relying on longstanding partners in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Scotland. This continuity allows the label to reconcile its emblematic itineraries with a renewed freedom granted to travelers.
Traveling Differently: The Art of Sensing Each Destination
Beyond mere contemplation of monuments, Visit Europe advocates experiential and emotional tourism. “I prefer taking the time to discover a region, to wander its streets, to dine at a local spot, and to chat with the locals,” explains Frédéric Brigand, the head of Visit Europe. To embody this philosophy, the company rolls out its Slow Collection, appealing to new generations of travelers while maintaining the loyalty of its long-time clientele. Whether it’s exceptional itineraries like Scotland by train, travels across Corsica by bike, or routes in Romania, the brand invites travelers to slow down. The moments of autonomy are enriched through partnerships such as the Guidly app, which turns each traveler’s smartphone into an intelligent tour guide. Unlike traditional audioguides, Guidly tailors its content to each person’s interests: history, architecture, gastronomy, art, nature… each audio commentary is generated specifically for them
An Inclusive Commitment and a Shared Ambition
Determined to open its journeys to a wider audience, the company continually adapts its offerings. Particular attention is given to accessibility: requests from people with disabilities are assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on their needs and the characteristics of each trip. By shaping modular, eco-friendly itineraries rooted in the regions, Visit Europe demonstrates that the future of travel lies in the ability to absorb places in a lasting way. “Visit Europe has almost forty years of history. Our ambition is not to erase it, but to write the next chapter: continue to help people discover Europe, perhaps more slowly, in order to discover it better.”
