About Solo Sophie
Solo Sophie began in 2015 as Sophie Nadeau's travel hobby and has since grown into a full-time travel site run by Sophie alongside her husband Antoine and sister Charlotte. The site now hosts more than 1,600 posts and covers city guides, weekend itineraries, walking tours, food recommendations and offbeat cultural stories across Europe and beyond. The team also produces downloadable travel guides and a travel shop. Articles lean on original photography and occasionally include video, and many posts carry affiliate links and advertising as part of the site's business model.
A cultured, curious travel voice that treats small European towns like secret rooms in a grand museum. Reading Solo Sophie feels like following a knowledgeable friend who annotates an itinerary with history, restaurant tips and exact wander routes. The writing is practical and well structured, with clear headings, estimated visit times and local context - the Semur-en-Auxois guide reads like a kindly walking tour. Charlotte brings a lighter, humorous touch to pieces she writes, while Antoine contributes video work, so you get a mix of longform guides and multimedia. The site posts often enough to keep new planning ideas coming, making it great for trip research and day-trip inspiration.
