I’ve been living in Madagascar for nearly 30 years. I live in Nosy-be where I operate in the tourism and hotel business. Concerned with the sustainable and responsible development of this region, I’m very involved in social issues. In Madagascar, I particularly appreciate the kindness, naturalness and welcoming nature of the Malagasy people. But also the great authenticity of the destination and its landscapes.
Exchanging with people and getting to know Malagasy culture, which is based on making the most of the present day, regardless of any material notion. Cruising northwest Madagascar. Don’t hesitate to try the Ravitoto au Coco, pork with coconut-crushed brèdes. Delicious with rice! Sunsets that invite reflection.
I was lucky enough to live in Madagascar for 5 years. Now settled in France to contribute to the development of Escapades, I’m lucky enough to return regularly to the Big Island, my second home. Passionate about nature sports, I particularly enjoy the exceptional cruises and dives available in the Nosy Be archipelago.
Agree to take your time: this is the land of “mora mora”, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it to slow down your usual pace… Snorkelling for whale sharks is a must! Try masikita (pronounced “machkit”), the famous grilled zebu kebabs! Spend some time in the Aïna village to understand the fantastic work of this association for the benefit of Malagasy youth.
Designing trips was my path. For me, travel is the best way to open up to the world and to others. I’m delighted to be able to share the incomparable richness of my beloved country Madagascar: between the national parks and the innumerable smiles of the children, the beautiful beaches and the typical dishes, not forgetting the folklore excursions, all travellers return with a nostalgia for Madagascar, the island-continent.
Sainte Marie: do both the northern and southern parts: a mix of nature, tranquillity and exchanges with a population that is still very authentic. Nosy Iranja: a heavenly island to recharge your batteries and regain your energy. And lunch prepared by the locals! Varanga (cooked and reduced zebu fillet). Sunset with a cocktail on Mont Passot.
My inspiration is to make Madagascar shine with its cultural values and natural riches!
Nosy Be and its beauty, an island paradise! The natural pools of the Isalo National Park: the magic of nature in a hostile environment, offering cool baths for an incredible and unique feeling. Vary mena amin’ny ronono sy tantely (red rice with milk and honey) The “famadihana”(exhumation): How brave
From an early age, I’ve always been an adventurer. I love traveling, meeting animals and above all discovering the culinary delights of each region. And it was this passion that led me into tourism. And I’m delighted to help others discover the natural treasures of my beautiful country.
Ankanin’ny nofy without hesitation, a little paradise on earth right in the middle of nature. A perfect place to recharge your batteries. The diversity of landscapes, each region is different, as if we were traveling through different countries. The Coconut ravitoto. Great with tomato rougail Meet the animals in the parks. A magical moment
Originally from the highlands and having grown up in the coastal towns of Madagascar, I’ve been immersed in the diversity and richness of my country’s culture and nature ever since I was a child. It was this experience that led me to choose tourism, because I want to share with the world the emotions and wonders I feel towards my land.
So many, but the choice would have to be Itampolo. White sand, blue sea, smiling villagers and great food. What more ? Fried cassava with lightly spiced papaya achard. Give it a try and thank me later. Try it and thank me later. A long drive in the middle of the day to admire the passing scenery, a moving sensation that reminds us just how much my beautiful country has to offer. sunsets on the beach with a cold beer. Heaven on earth.
Travel rhymes with encounters and discovery, and this is my greatest passion. Madagascar, a country of a thousand facets, with its exceptional biological wealth, the warmth of its people and its diverse, lush landscape. I can’t help but be proud of my beautiful homeland. That’s why I’m an ambassador for its development and promotion. It’s not just a job, it’s a passion!
Salary avec ses eaux turquoise et ses plages de sable blanc à perte de vue en font un endroit de toute beauté. Paradisiaque, une vraie carte postale ! Snorkeling with sea turtles on Sakatia “Manaramolotra”, a Malagasy dish based on different parts of the zebu (tongue, tripe, tail, entrecôte), simmered for hours. Sip a good cocktail while enjoying the sunset over Mont Passot. The perfect combo. 
My love of nature and my thirst for discovery and encounters with new cultures are my main motivations, and tourism was naturally my preferred path. For me, it’s a way of sharing my passions, of advising and inspiring visitors, of helping them explore its nooks and crannies and become aware of its diversity, so that everyone has an unforgettable experience! That’s why I’ve joined the Escapades Madagascar adventure, and I invite you to take part.
The off-road circuit from Morondava to Tuléar with the Tsingy du Bemaraha, passing through the beautiful baobab alley, a real experience not to be missed! This is one of Madagascar’s most beautiful coastlines and its baobabs! The warm welcome and smiles of the locals! Ravitoto with pork lightly sweetened. Bivouac Iranja 
Madagascar, a country offering a diversity of uniquelandscapes and endemic animal species unique in the world, is truly a hidden treasure still largely unknown on a global scale. The warmth of its smiling population does not go unnoticed. It’s a privilege for me, as an actress in the tourism sector, to help bring it to light.
Exploring northern Madagascar, from Diego Suarez to Ankarana and Nosy Be, is an extraordinary adventure that allows me to discover three destinations in a single trip. The “mofogasy” with its sweet and gourmet taste, a local breakfast much appreciated by the population, is a true gastronomic treasure of Madagascar! Vintage cars on the streets of Antananarivo, a living open-air museum, offering a nostalgic touch to the city and bearing witness to the history and evolution of the automobile over the decades. It’s a unique and charming cultural experience. My Madagascar, a land of incredible diversity, stretching from north to south, east to west. Each region offers unique landscapes that seem to follow one another like scenes from a captivating film. As soon as you’ve completed one stage, you’ll feel an irresistible urge to discover another. This is a country where exploration knows no bounds, where every turn holds a new surprise, a new facet of this bewitching island to discover.
The love of the country, its unique biodiversity, its fauna and flora and not forgetting the authenticity of the culture, this is the reason that drives me … for its development and conservation through tourism. Malagasy, I’m proud of it!
Nosy Be : enjoy the sunset from the highest point, Mont Passot, with its superb view Meeting, welcoming and sharing with the local population! A platter of fresh seafood Spending time with the young people from the Association Aîna Enfance, having direct interaction during visits and, above all, the pleasure of knowing that their personal project is coming to fruition. 
Originally from the south of Madagascar, seeing the many travelers coming and going inspired in me a desire to travel. I later had the chance to discover some of the Grande Ile’s typical places and endemic flora and fauna. Amazed, I wanted to share my passion for this beautiful country and its varied landscapes with others.
Meeting the local population in Anjoma, my home village. Ravitoto with pork is one of the best dishes on my island, but I prefer beans simmered with minced meat, with red rice on the side! The adventure of the Morondava trail to the Tsingy de Bemaraha. Nosy Iranja and its beautiful beach
Impressed by natural, geological and cultural diversity from an early age, I’m in love with my country, Madagascar.
Visiting at least one national park is a must, as you’re sure to find fauna and flora endemic to the island. The waterfalls and natural pools of the little-known gem Vohimana. Mokary : a patty originally prepared with white rice soaked for a few hours, or even a few days, to which coconut milk is added. Spectacular encounter with a family of dolphins and swimming with turtles on Sakatia.
