Group tours in France

PARIS - CHÂTEAUX of the LOIRE - BORDEAUX VINEYARDS

Paris: Participants arrive in Paris and make their own way to our hotel in the centre. Then two days of Paris at your feet: stroll the tree-lined boulevards, explore the Latin Quarter and see all the sights on our panoramic bus tour and Seine River cruise. After two nights (with breakfast) in Paris we move on to...

The Châteaux of the Loire: Just south of Paris the Loire valley is home to dozens of magnificent castles dating from the Renaissance to the 19th century. Your base is the ancient town of Tours, right among the chateaux where France's Kings and nobles played, intrigued and relaxed with their courtiers and extended family and guests. Two full days exploring the renowned castles of Chambord, Chenonceaux and Blois among others. Two nights in Tours before heading for ...

Bordeaux: The city is now a UNESCO heritage site and worth visiting for this fact alone. You are based in the historic centre where you can explore Bordeaux's rich past as wine capital of the world on foot. And then there are the vineyards where even the village names conjure up visions of the great wines as we take you on a tour of the famous vineyards - Margaux, St Julien, St Emilion, Pauillac - and all within 30 kms of Bordeaux. After two days and two nights in Bordeaux return to Paris by high-speed TGV train.

PARIS - PROVENCE - LANGUEDOC

Paris: Participants meet up in Paris for two days of sightseeing and shopping, as above. Transfer to Avignon, in Provence.

Provence: This is the area at the foot of the Rhone valley; the Mediterranean hinterland endowed with a special luminosity much beloved by painters, a broken topography of rocky outcrops, olive groves and vines and the home of what many consider to be the ultimate Mediterranean cuisine. Your base - for 2 days and 2 nights - is the Papal City of Avignon from where we shall visit Aix-en-Provence and the out-lying villages and lavender fields of the region.

Languedoc: South and West of Provence this region abounds in stunning Roman architectural gems: the amphitheatres at Nimes and Orange and the Pont du Gard among them. After touching the Mediterranean coast at the fishing port of Sète we head for Carcassonne where its thirteenth century citadel will be our base for the next two days. One day can be spent exploring the citadel and its keep while another is appropriated for a tour of the Cathar Castles - refuges of 13th century heretics escaping the Inquisition - in the wild hinterland of the Corbières. This trip will give us a chance to do a spot of wine-tasting too.

After 2 nights in Carcassonne the tour ends with participants returning to Paris by TGV.
