Who are the creators of Planning Motion (WHO? WHERE? and WHEN?)

The Planning Motion web application was created by 2 Quebecers with a passion for travel.
Nathalie Bergeron and Olivier Ratheau decided in March 2017 to develop the app they had long dreamed of for planning their trips.
After the development and testing phases, Nathalie and Olivier had chosen to make the application available to all on March 8, 2020.
The unpredictable pandemic obviously had an impact on the launch of Planning Motion. Nathalie and Olivier chose to simply continue, as they intend to do in the future anyway, to improve the application and add new features.
Since the beginning of 2021, a growing community of Planning Motion users is being built. A community of travelers who were also looking for such a tool to plan their trips.
