History

Anthony Laplagne, an MBA graduate of Nantes Business School, founded Europe Active in 2005. After growing up on the sunny island of Reunion and following many adventures in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Anthony’s rucksack finally came to rest on the stunning French island of Corsica.

Anthony has brought together an experienced team of ten travel professionals and enthusiasts who work alongside him, sharing his passion for travel and nature.
