Established as an entrepreneurial venture in France in 2006, Voyage Privé has since evolved into the foremost leader in flash online travel sales across Europe. As the first independent E-Tourism group on the continent, we take immense pride in our achievements and our dedication to our mission.

Every day, we are fueled by a singular purpose – to empower our 56 million members to embark on unforgettable journeys by presenting them with exclusive getaways at irresistibly attractive prices.

Since 2021, our organisation has been driven by a profound mission: to believe in the potential for transformative change and to ignite the realm of possibilities. In pursuit of this, we have established a unique campus that brings together Voyage Privé employees, elite athletes from Provence Rugby, educators from the Ecole des XV, adults with disabilities from “Nos pierres précieuses,” and artists from the Dalida Institute. By uniting these diverse worlds, we bridge gaps and engage in mutual learning every day.
