Hey there 👋🏻

I'm thrilled to be back in the pilot's seat, ready to fly you away to a beach resort that is truly close to my heart.

Imagine this: it's the roaring twenties, and you're rubbing shoulders with British high society, renowned artists and even royalty. Where's everyone travelling for their summer holidays? Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, of course!

Now, unless you're a fellow pilot (more on that in a bit), chances are this charming coastal town isn’t on your radar.

But fear not—in this newsletter and podcast episode, we're taking a virtual trip to France for a weekend filled with beaches, sports, music, rollercoasters—and, of course, glamour!

Le Touquet has this wonderful way of blending relaxation and excitement, making it perfect for families of all ages. In fact, my own crew has spent the last two summers there, and let's just say we've fallen head over heels.

So, grab your virtual passport, and let's explore this captivating destination together!
