Our Story

Beaurouge Voyages was founded by Tanya Nedelskaya and Nicolas Topor,

a family company born from their shared passion for France

and its celebrated art de vivre — travel, art, history, gastronomy, and beyond. Their story began in Paris, the city of romance and culture, before a shared quest for adventure and family joy brought them to settle on the French Riviera. There, inspired by the beauty of a hidden creek along the Mediterranean coast called Bau Rouge, they gave life to Beaurouge Voyages.

Why “Beau Rouge”?

In Provençal, bau means “red mountain,” but they chose to transform it into the more poetic Beau Rouge — “beautiful red” — a name that reflects both the natural beauty of France and the personal touch they bring to every journey.

Creative leadership

Both Tanya and Nicolas share a strong background in cultural production and communications.

They have managed large-scale creative projects in France, leading teams of up to 50 people and overseeing complex, multi-faceted operations. Educated at prestigious Parisian universities, they combine academic depth with practical expertise. Their professional paths also include valuable international experience, which broadened their perspective and strengthened their ability to anticipate the needs of a global clientele.

A trusted network

At Beaurouge Voyages, Tanya and Nicolas unite professional rigor with genuine passion. They have cultivated a trusted network of hand-picked partners: expert guides fluent in several languages and often with scholarly backgrounds, premium drivers, talented artisans, boutique shops, fine restaurants, charming hotels, and other exceptional service providers — all selected for their excellence, authenticity, and warmth.

Hosts at heart

They are art lovers, history buffs, and storytellers — but above all, they are friendly hosts. Their dream is to elevate the experience of their beloved France: to create meaningful connections, to provide seamless and indulgent service, and to make every traveler feel not just like a visitor, but like a cherished guest truly on holiday.
