François-Michel DUGUET

With a background in luxury hospitality, a passion for countertenor singing, and a vocation for writing, François-Michel Duguet has led three remarkably intense lives. Trained at the École Hôtelière de Genève, he dedicated twenty years to prestigious Parisian hotels before settling in Touraine with his wife Sophie. Today, François M., owner of the Domaine Plessis Gallu in Azay-le-Rideau — an exceptional property offering 5-star holiday rentals — also devotes himself to writing. As an author, he published Entre ombres et lumières and Complots et secrets au château in 2025, and is currently preparing two new works for spring/summer 2026.
