In 2020, as the world was on pause, Antoine Alran and Marine Alidor brought Mikado to life with a simple conviction: the finest adventures are born from the unexpected. Passionate about discovery and deeply in love with nature, they imagined unique experiences to uncover the hidden treasures of France’s regions.

The Mikado philosophy is about accepting to let go of the reins and allowing chance to shape the exceptional. It is a journey into the unknown, but with an open heart, where surprise is a gift one gives oneself whilst honouring the land and culture that welcomes us.

Imagine the crackling of a campfire in the mountains of Chamonix, the whisper of the waves at Seignosse, the majestic echo of the Gorges du Tarn, the laughter ringing through the medieval lanes of Sorèze… each destination becomes the stage for surprising adventures, now unfolding across France and beyond.

By shining a light on these destinations and collaborating with local driving forces, Mikado nurtures a solidarity-based economy, creating a form of tourism full of meaning, here and elsewhere.

After six years of passionate exploration, Mikado has mapped out numerous exceptional territories, each carrying its own unique magic. But beyond the figures, there are thousands of smiles exchanged, moments suspended in time, and wonders shared. Every bespoke adventure is a promise: that of living a unique chapter in the great book of possibilities, where the unexpected becomes the finest of guides.

This unique approach has already won over countless adventurers — colleagues, families, friends and strangers alike — proving that there are still original ways to travel and reconnect with what truly matters. Each new destination enriches this collection of authentic experiences, cherished by participants as an unforgettable gift.
