M15697, is a California-based travel planning organization specializing in tours and cruises in France, Spain, and Portugal. It's a small company that believes in the art of traveling well and focuses on the discovery of local culture and heritage. Our tours appeal to those who appreciate personal touch, creative itineraries and our hands-on approach to the travel business.

The company was founded and is operated by Pierre and Carolyn Mainguené, both seasoned world travelers and former academics.

Pierre was born, raised and educated in the French province of Brittany. As a native, he loves everything about France, of course: the history, the arts, the lifestyle, the food, the wines and the endless diversity of local cultures. He has traveled to nearly every corner of the country and continues his journey of discovery every year - sometimes twice a year. (If nothing else, he needs to visit his family once in a while).

Carolyn first went to France on a Rotary fellowship. This generous grant allowed her to spend a full academic year at the Université de Haute-Bretagne in Rennes, the capital of Brittany. She discovered many aspects of France that year, including her husband! Since then, she has gone back many times with Pierre and members of her family to explore new areas of the country.

Pierre and Carolyn also have a very strong affinity for Spain, its culture and its heritage. This may stem from Spanish language and literature classes they took in high school and college. But it most certainly is a result of the many trips they have taken to all regions of this fascinating country over the years.

Portugal, of course, is a natural addition offering wonderful cultural sites and spectacular scenery. Pierre is a Travel-Institute certified France Specialist and Spain Specialist. Both Pierre and Carolyn are certified Portugal Specialists.
