Our history
I.

A house built on
careful attention.

Founded by Jean-Marc Prentout-Buché, Special Guest was built on a simple conviction: private hospitality should feel considered, personal and effortless. Decades later, the work remains the same — listening carefully, preparing thoroughly and hosting each guest with discretion.

II.

Trusted by private clients
and leading organisations.

From private families to corporate leadership teams in finance, energy, luxury and related fields, our clients ask for clarity, discretion and reliable execution. We provide the preparation, local intelligence and calm presence that allow them to simply arrive.

What we offer

More than
an itinerary.

We design itineraries and arrangements that are created around the guest, not around a template. From a private cultural day to a discreet corporate retreat or a multi-stage regional itinerary, each detail is prepared with practical care and quiet confidence.

01
Private Guided Tours

Private visits led by trusted guides, historians and local experts — designed to reveal the context, people and places that make a region worth remembering.

02
Bespoke Itinerary Design

From the first conversation to the last transfer, each itinerary is shaped around your schedule, pace, interests and level of privacy.

03
Concierge & Private Access

Concierge support for restaurants, transport, events, introductions and last-mile logistics — handled discreetly, with clear communication and careful follow-through.

"The best arrangements are felt
in the ease they leave behind."

Special Guest — Our Approach

Special Guest, in brief

A private house,
plainly stated.

Special Guest is a French private concierge company (SAS, est. 1991), based near Mont Saint-Michel. We arrange private guided tours, cultural access and fully bespoke itineraries across Brittany, the Loire Valley, Normandy and the Channel Islands — and, on request, worldwide. Engagements are private and by enquiry only; a limited number of clients is accepted each season.

Begin here

Begin with
one private
conversation.

Tell us who the guests are, what matters, what must be avoided and what would make the itinerary feel truly yours. We will answer with a considered proposal — practical, discreet and shaped around the details that matter.
