The Journey of Alexis Delevaux
Born into a family that owned travel agencies, growing up in the shadow of Montparnasse Tower in Paris, Alexis Delevaux nurtured dreams of exploring the globe from a very young age. After graduating high school, Alexis traveled to Asia, setting off on an adventure that would take him on a lifelong love affair with the culture and people of Vietnam. This passion later led him to establish Découvrez la France avec Alexis, a travel agency catering specifically to an Asian clientele wanting to explore France. But Alexis's heart belonged to Vietnam. That is reflected in his spiritual retreats, where he guides visitors through the country's most serene and historic places, passing on his deep knowledge and love for the land and its traditions.
A Unique Blend of Zen and Adventure
Being a part of Alexis's spiritual retreats is not just traveling. It is an exercise in finding balance and harmony. As your guide, Alexis shares anecdotes from his life in Vietnam, introduces you to lesser-known aspects of Vietnamese culture, and guides you to hidden, peaceful corners where you can connect with your inner self away from the bustling world. Practicing Tai Chi at dawn by the calming waters of Halong Bay or meditating in the tranquility of the Truc Lam Zen Monastery in Dalat city, the experiences Alexis offers are beyond the typical.
