Double Sens

What Double Sens does

Double Sens is a French responsible-tourism travel agency founded in 2006 and operating as part of FairMoove Group from its Paris headquarters. The company designs and distributes packaged tours, custom itineraries, family trips, and small-group trips (capped at 12 travelers) across 26 destinations spanning four continents, supported by a curated ecosystem of approximately 1,725 local partners. Its commercial offer is built around a "solidarity tourism" positioning, with 19 destinations linked to active community-impact projects and a proprietary framework for measuring positive-impact actions, to which €170,440 was allocated in the most recently reported period.

The business model is a packaged-trip retailer with a wide price ladder (€620 to €4,400 per trip) targeting French individual leisure travelers, supplemented by a recently formalized B2B offering for companies and schools. Differentiation rests on third-party ATR certification (held since 2016), carbon-neutral trip options, and direct economic flows to local communities, all marketed through a PrestaShop-powered website and Teamleader CRM. The technology stack is commodity-grade: no mobile app, no public API, and no AI-driven personalization or pricing infrastructure is disclosed.

Operationally, the company is small and privately held, with a lean named management team (four executives visible publicly) and a recent CEO transition in August 2025, when Corinne Louison succeeded founder Antoine Richard. Strategic direction appears increasingly shaped by its parent group, FairMoove, including the 2025 introduction of self-guided ("autotour") and flight-inclusive ("vols inclus") product formats designed to broaden the addressable customer beyond the traditional assisted-group segment.
