Our story

Panoramic aerial view of a residential complex of several villas with green roofs, nestled in lush tropical vegetation near a salt pond and the sea. The landscape is characterized by rolling terrain, a coastal shoreline and turquoise water in the background under a partly cloudy sky, offering a global perspective on this resort location.

Founded in 2021 in Saint-Barthélemy in the Caribbean, Agence Inspire draws its inspiration from the French art of hospitality and the excellence of Caribbean hotel houses. Since 2026, it has been based in Paris, where it supports a curated collection of exceptional houses and hotels.

He looks attentively to the right of the image, hands crossed on his knees. The interior décor is dark and refined, with a table lamp with a textured shade softly illuminating the background near a door adorned with floral patterns.

Passionate about the art of living and exceptional hospitality, I founded Agence Inspire and the media La Collection. I love people and connections; you can reach me through these channels.

A word from the founder

"Since childhood, I have had a dream: to open my own hotel houses. Driven by hospitality, the art of receiving, people, and a creative spirit, I put my passion at the heart of my work. Hospitality is evolving and I am committed to supporting our beautiful French houses through these transitions, notably by building exceptional art directions, implementing bespoke communication strategies, and working hand in hand with those who lead and shape French hospitality."

Nicolas de Franqueville

Founder & Creative Director

Agence Inspire and the media La Collection were born from the same passion: to celebrate the French art of hospitality and those who embody its excellence. We would be delighted to discover your establishment and discuss your projects.
