Playing with elephants, collecting butterfly wings, organizing French Lifestyle Fairs, and exploring the lush greens of an exotic hidden town….

Observing and (lightly) interacting with Asia’s gentle giants. Ethical tourism is SO important. In this elephant sanctuary, abused and retired elephants have a chance to live out their lives with love, respect and veterinary care.

The Asian elephant is endangered. Humans break their spirits in a terrifyingly cruel process called “the crush,” in which baby elephants are stolen from their mothers, blinded and tortured deep in the forest until they become obedient.
