2016
The 100,000 travelers milestone is reached
March 2008, Yvan sends a call-out to the alumni newsletters of French business schools, looking for a travel and entrepreneurship lover. Eric responds, the adventure begins! In June 2009, the first sales were celebrated with Champagne. The first round of fundraising took place in February 2011, helping the team to expand internationally. In 2019, Evaneos passed the 500,000 travelers mark, with 22 nationalities in-house. The 2020 global health crisis hits the industry hard, leading to a Job-Saving Plan in November. One year later, the first “Evaneos Days” are held. Having 30% of full remote workers, these two days per month gathering all Evaneossians at la Voyagerie are key!

Our values have been deeply part of our DNA since the beginning, and embodied by all Evaneossians for 15 years. They have lived through the scale, the months of crisis, and the new scale. After this rollercoaster, we are clear on our strengths and the biases that lie behind each one. Looking with humility at these allows us to be bolder, and more powerful for today and tomorrow.
Taking on challenges, daring to go out of our comfort zone, and being flexible to adapt to our environment, and to innovate in a world that is constantly evolving.
Valuing difference, transparency, and respect by creating the essential bonds to cooperate and grow together.
Moving the lines to build a better world by being demanding with ourselves and others, to achieve tangible and sustainable results.
