Explore the iconic sights of the French capital as the sun sets, cruising about the city in your own piece of French history, a Citroën 2CV. Escorted by an expert local guide, gain an in-depth understanding of the history behind some of the city’s most famous monuments set against a timelessly romantic backdrop, the breeze rustling your hair as a procession of Paris’ brilliantly illuminated landmarks rolls past.
Stroll along Bordeaux’ magnificent waterfront marvelling at the spectacular Miroir d’Eau and the beautiful 18th century facades. Then venture into the Old Town and the Saint Pierre District, the historic heart of the city, with its monumental Cailhau Gate and Parliament Square. Afterwards, receive an introduction to Bordeaux’ wine heritage at the Cité du Vin museum before vineyard-hopping through the surrounding countryside.
Immortalised by master painters and writers, the French countryside farmstead endures as a steadfast cornerstone of the national culture. Set out for a day of fun on an authentic, working farmstead secluded in the French countryside. Here, learn the art of French bread making from your host family, chat with your hosts, stroll around the farm, meet the animals and explore the adjacent woodland.
Discover the man behind the label as you visit Louis Vuitton’s Art-Deco-Style home and tour the production studio where skilled artisans still stich the iconic fashion house’s designs by hand. Then, browse the rotating exhibits of the adjacent museum showcasing the latest designer collaborations. Finally, set out on a Parisian shopping trip custom-tailored to your own personal style.
World Heritage-listed Lyon is a city overflowing with history and iconic architectural landmarks. A gastronome’s dream, explore this mecca of eateries and indulge in perfect pastries, rich cheeses and the traditional tarte Lyonnaise. Meander through local markets, marvelling at the fresh produce and tantalising treats. Boasting an impressive offering of local wines, Lyon is a true epicurean adventure.
Celebrate a special occasion in style as you and your friends escape the crowds aboard your privately chartered canal barge, a floating country inn where you enjoy gourmet food and wine every day while only having to unpack once. Relax on deck as the lovely scenery flows by, or borrow a bicycle for a leisurely pedal along the towpath.
Not merely a river basin, but a cultural landscape of France, the Loire Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From cities such as Orléans, once liberated by Joan of Arc, to iconic castles like the Château de Chenonceau and Château de Chambord, it is history waiting to be explored.
Venture into the old town of Nice and immerse yourself in the colourful open-air market of Cours Saleya, a veritable kaleidoscope of sights and smells, sampling as you go a host of local delicacies from mouth-watering cheeses and crusty bread, to fragrant herbs, salty olives, tasty pâtés and vine-ripened tomatoes.
