About us
Redefining Travel for women, with Meaning and Emotion
Since its establishment in 2016, the french tour operator L’Odyssée du Papillon has emerged as a pioneer in organizing female-oriented journeys infused with meaning and emotion.
Redefined Uniqueness: An Enchanted Interlude for the Woman of the World
What sets this approach apart is the time dedicated to oneself, an enchanted interlude, a quest for self… revealing escapades to reconnect. L’Odyssée du Papillon has created oases of well-being where encounters with women from around the world, sharing, and the practice of cultural and well-being activities intertwine.
Value-Added Travel: Emotions, Sharing, and Encounters
The added value of L’Odyssée du Papillon lies in the infusion of an emotional dimension through the group and encounters. Travelers experience intense moments of sharing and kindness with women from here and elsewhere. The art of living of the woman of the world becomes the cornerstone of each journey.
More than a Journey, a Human Experience
Beyond a mere trip, female-oriented journeys are based on sisterhood, evoking the bonds and solidarity among women. Each adventure with L’Odyssée du Papillon transforms into a unique human experience.
