Loïc: General Manager
Brightside Travel is the result of a career dedicated to tourism. After many years working for various incoming tour operators in Indonesia and the United Kingdom, I wanted to bring together a team of enthusiasts to set up our own agency.
We want travel to retain its true essence and remain people-centred. Keeping this promise means ensuring that our customers approach our destinations with their hearts as open as their eyes, ready to embrace local realities and enrich their experience through encounters with local people.
Joanna: Travel expert Great Britain and Ireland
I have always been passionate about art and history, and have always been driven by a desire to discover different cultures and meet new people. This curiosity led me into tourism, a profession I have been practising for 10 years with the same passion: sharing the history, spirit and traditions of the destinations that
are close to my heart. Hiking and photography play a vital role in the way I travel. They allow me to discover a more intimate and gentle side to Scotland and Ireland.
For those seeking unspoilt nature, peaceful lakes, raging oceans and unforgettable sunsets, I would be delighted to accompany you as you discover these timeless places.
Amandine: Travel expert Scotland
Having spent part of my youth in Touraine, I grew up among the castles and medieval towns that nurtured my love of history and fantastic legends. As an adult, I decided to move to the UK, and more specifically to Scotland, where I've been living for the last ten years. The little winding streets, the old facades
Edinburgh’s grey stone buildings and mysterious atmosphere perfectly satisfy my passion for the Victorian era and literature. Every stroll through the Old Town, every guided tour, every visit to a museum transports me two centuries back in time to a city full of secrets and thrilling stories that I can’t wait to share with you.

Éric: Multicarte Tourisme sales representative for the South-West region
Tourism is my passion; I started out as an employee and have been self-employed for over 20 years. I’ve always been a free spirit, and my guiding principle is to match the specific requirements of my B2B clients with the tourism professional whom I’ve identified as best suited to
to address your specific needs. Before making any enquiries with my partners, I always check the type of clientele we’re dealing with, so that we can tailor our response to the clients’ wishes. I’ve been working with Loïc for nearly 10 years, so when he set up Brightside Travel, I didn’t hesitate for a second to join the adventure!
