Antoine
Trepant

A dual French-American citizen, Antoine was fortunate to experience a richly nomadic upbringing that allowed him to live a life defined by movement, discovery, and a deep connection to the world. Having lived in seven countries across three continents, he carries with him the essence of a global citizen — shaped by diverse cultures, landscapes, and encounters that fuel both wonder and perspective.

Fluent in four languages, Antoine holds an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management and an Executive Management degree from INSEAD. He began his career in global trade finance with leading multinationals such as JPMorgan, BNP Paribas, and HSBC, later assuming multiple global sales leadership and client advisory roles in the Financial Technology sector between 2006 and 2024. In parallel, Antoine founded several companies, including a wellness venture that continues to thrive today. These experiences refined in him a unique blend of discipline, entrepreneurial vision, and cross-cultural expertise — foundations that now support his true calling: elevating the meaning of travel.

For Antoine, travel is not defined by geography but by transformation — catalysts for what he calls emotional wealth. He believes that true luxury lies not in what we possess, but in how deeply we are moved. The greatest journeys are those from which we return home with deeper connections, richer emotions, and a greater sense of aliveness.

Today, Antoine channels this philosophy alongside his wife as co-founder and principal advisor of Vivre, a new-generation travel advisory firm dedicated to designing journeys of awe, renewal, and meaningful connection for couples, families, and chosen families. He conducts regular on-site inspections of exceptional properties in the world’s most iconic destinations and continually tests emerging concepts to ensure his clients experience travel that awakens the senses and allows them to return not just rested, but transformed.

An accomplished rower, triathlete, ultra-trail runner, skier, mountaineer, and diver, Antoine has a penchant towards adventure travel — thoughtfully pairing it with immersive cultural discovery and exceptional gastronomy.

He lives near Paris with his wife, Ursula, and their three children.
