About Apoena

Two lives, one region. A presence shaped in silence.

We didn’t come from travel.

We came from here.

Kevin was born in Brittany. He lives in Vannes.

So was Carmine. He’s never really left.

One explored elsewhere. The other stayed and paid attention.

They met at seventeen. Back then, there was no manifesto, no map. Just shared silences in a business class.

Kevin has lived several lives — customs officer, client advisor, portfolio manager.

Then a trip to Brazil cracked something open.

Nothing was planned.

An old woman sold warm bread without a word. The gesture was enough.

That’s when he realized: what he wanted was to find gestures like that again, here.

Not to visit. Not to show. But to unlearn the shortcuts — and let Brittany surprise him again.

Carmine never needed to leave.

He knows the tides, the market hours, the paths behind the hedges.

He’s worked with his hands — in warehouses, kitchens, care work, tools.

What he loves is sharing the region without overexplaining it. Letting people feel, touch, laugh.

Always with the right line at the right time.

They do everything together.

One draws in the shadows. The other connects in the light.

They split the work. Reread each other. Keep the balance.

They’re not here to scale.

They’re here to keep things clear. Quiet. Coherent. And lasting.

This isn’t a travel agency.

It’s not a product.

It’s a presence.

At a distance.

But precise.
