Premium fleet on the French Mediterranean

For 40 years, Littoral Voyages has been taking travellers to their destinations in style - with a family atmosphere, individual service and premium buses from Setra.

For four decades, the bus company Littoral Voyages from Gigean on the French Mediterranean coast has been offering high-quality bus trips with a personal touch. For this family business, quality and an individual service are at the centre. Since 2010, it has designed each of its Setra premium buses in a different colour.

Passengers travelling with the bus company Littoral Voyages, which is based in Gigean, feel the family atmosphere straight away. The brother-sister duo Jérôme (49) and Sophie (45) Fournier are the second generation to run the family business. Although they take charge of most of the management, their mother Chantal still provides her input too – with a watchful eye and lots of heart. “It has always been my wish that my children would continue to run the business in line with our values – and they're doing that marvellously”, says Chantal Fournier. Her two eldest grandchildren, Dorian and Léa, recently joined the family business to continue the story together. Her youngest grandson, Théo, also shares the same passion for buses as his late grandfather Christian.

Chantal Fournier founded the company in 1985 together with her late husband Christian. He was not only a bus operator, but also a passionate bus driver. “For his entire life, his favourite bus to drive was the Setra", recalls Chantal Fournier. A customer once proposed the name “Littoral Voyages” for the business as a tribute to the Mediterranean coast that it calls home, and so that it could also be distinguished from two other local businesses that also have Fournier in their names.
