Salut from France! I’m Debbie, founder of Luxury France Tours.

Having developed into a Francophile on a trip to the French Alps many years ago while still in school, I moved to France after a career traveling the world led to me meeting my (now) French Husband in Johannesburg. I created Luxury France Tours as a way of sharing my love of France & igniting this passion in others.

France vacations 2024 & 2025

The birthplace of Versailles and Sun King Louis XIV's grand ambitions, and the cradle of radical creative movements from Impressionism to New Wave cinema: France has long been a game changer. Our specialists can show you how to explore the country that has turned the good life into an art form. And they’d argue that, even today, no other capital offers quite the same architectural homage to beauty, and patina of romance, as Paris .

Our specialists can craft a vacation to France that takes in its landscapes, from the mountains of the Rhône-Alpes to Provence’s lavender fields and the Riviera’s Mediterranean. They’ll also include the country’s historic sites, like the chateaux that stud the Loire Valley  and the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy. Then, gastronomy-wise, they can point you in the direction of the best local produce markets, AOC-designated wineries and one-off experiences, not just in culinary hubs like Bordeaux and Lyon, but across the whole country.

Useful information for planning your vacation in France

The official language of France is French. English is widely spoken in hotels and popular visitor destinations.

The currency of France is the euro (€). You can buy euro before you travel or use an ATM to withdraw cash on arrival. All cities and larger towns have ATMs, and hotels, restaurants, and larger shops all accept credit cards.

France is renowned for its food, and while here you can enjoy rich cheeses, fine wines, delicate macarons, and fresh bread. From creamy Camembert and rich Roquefort, to sparkling Champagne and bold merlot, France is an epicurean delight.

Normandy is known for its shellfish and Calvados (apple brandy). Brittany is renowned for its crêpes, while to the south, the food is distinctly Mediterranean with lots of garlic, olives, and fresh vegetables used in signature Provençal dishes such as bouillabaisse (fish soup) and ratatouille (stewed vegetables).

Coffee is taken seriously in France and watching the world go by as you linger over a coffee is a national pastime. Wine varies widely from region to region and a visit to a local vineyard reveals the generations of care and refinement that has gone into local vintages.

By law, restaurants and bars are required to include a 15% service charge on all bills, so tipping is not necessary. For exceptional service, you can leave a small extra tip of about 5-10%. Taxi drivers and porters don’t expect a tip but will appreciate the gesture. It’s customary to tip tour guides and private drivers but this is at your discretion. Your specialist can advise on appropriate amounts closer to your trip.

For the latest travel advice for France, including entry requirements, health information, and the safety and security situation, please refer to the State Department website .

A land of fine food, high fashion, and a many-layered history, France offers everything from medieval villages and historic chateaux to world-renowned art and illustrious vineyards.

You could begin in Paris people watching from a pavement cafe, touring the Louvre or Musée D’Orsay, then taking a private tour of Chateau du Versailles . Follow it with a visit to Claude Monet’s house and lily gardens , a tour through the vineyards and chateaux of the Loire Valley, or maybe a visit to the Champagne region to learn about the provenance of this renowned sparkling wine.

You could explore giant dunes and go for an oyster tasting on a boat tour at Cap Ferrat, learn to make macarons with a French pastry chef, take a walking tour of medieval Annecy , or go hiking near Mont Blanc . There’s so much to see and do, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

In France, you can stay in historic mansions, private villas, Parisian townhouses, and medieval country homes. Timeless elegance, fine food, and good wine are hallmarks of a stay in France and the country’s heritage architecture provides some wonderfully memorable options when it comes to finding a place to stay.

For example, you could stay in a luxuriously renovated half-timbered farmhouse in Normandy, a 12th-century convent in Provence, a stately 15th-century chateau in the Loire Valley, or a five-star hotel set in a historic mansion in Lyon’s old town.

If you’d prefer an urban retreat, you could opt for a luxurious Parisian hotel or a sleek boutique hotel with a modern, minimalist style. In the mountains, you’ll find chic Alpine lodges , and in the wine regions, expansive wine estates. To get some ideas, browse our collection of places to stay in France .

Some of France’s most popular destinations include Paris, the Loire Valley, Normandy’s D-Day beaches, Bordeaux, and Provence. In Paris , you’ll find a city as wildly beautiful and sophisticated as its reputation suggests with a thriving cafe culture and world-renowned monuments such as Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower to visit.

The chateaux, vineyards, and medieval villages of the Loire Valley offer historic sights and gourmet food experiences, while the half-timbered towns and poignant D-Day beaches make Normandy a popular destination. To the south, the medieval hilltop villages of Provence and the glitzy beach towns of the French Riviera vie for attention with the wine regions around Bordeaux and the Dordogne , while to the east the Alps rise majestically into jagged, snow-capped peaks.

It takes around seven and a half hours to fly from the East Coast of the US to France, and around 11 hours from the West Coast.

The time zone in France is UTC+1 hour. Daylight Savings Time is observed from late-March to late-October.

The best way to get around in France is on the country’s efficient network of high-speed trains, known as the TGVs. If you’re short on time, it may also be worth considering internal flights.

US citizens don’t need a visa for stays of less than 90 days in France or across the wider Schengen area.

Speak to your doctor for immunization advice for France and ensure you’re up to date with routine vaccinations at home. You can also check the recommended vaccinations by visiting the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website .

Your passport should be valid for a minimum of three months beyond your departure date from France or the Schengen area and have at least one blank page.

Introducing France

Our short video gives a taste of what France has to offer. From the grand architecture of Paris and delicious cuisine, to imposing chateaux and the beaches of Normandy.

An insider’s guide to the districts of Paris

Away from the bustle of tourist attractions, Paris is filled with enclaves that feel like individual villages hidden inside the city. Specialist Liz explores the four best-known quartiers, including the storied cafés of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the confectioners of Le Marais.

Exploring the Loire Valley

The fertile Loire Valley was the preferred summer destination of French kings and aristocrats for centuries. Discover the lush fields and bountiful vineyards that attracted them and the turreted pleasure palaces that they left behind.

Introducing Normandy: from the D-Day Beaches to the Bayeux Tapestry

A land of apples and honey (and invasions), Normandy has a long and complicated history. Discover the region’s medieval roots at Bayeux, visit the shores that inspired Impressionism at Honfleur, and pay your respects at the D-Day beaches.

Experiencing wine country in France

Join specialist Liz as she pursues her love of wine through three different vineyards tours. From the stony fields of Châteauneuf-du-Pape to a tiny domaine in Champagne to the limestone caves of the Loire Valley, she explores the terroir and techniques that produce the bottles she loves.

Monuments and museums of Paris

Art and monumental architecture are an integral part of any visit to Paris. From a private tour of the Louvre to a behind-the-scenes look at the Eiffel Tower, France specialist Leanne suggests a few new ways to see familiar sights.

Food highlights of France

Discovering French cuisine doesn’t have to be an expensive or complicated proposition. From macarons in Paris to cider in Normandy, France specialist Jesse discusses the simple dishes and regional specialities that he likes to eat when he’s visiting different areas of France.

Visiting Provence is like stepping into a Van Gogh painting — a landscape awash in vivid hues. France specialist Samantha talks about the region’s highlights, including fragrant lavender fields, Roman aqueducts and truffle hunting with a local and his dog.

Discover the real French Riviera

Look past the super yachts and movie stars to discover the authentic French Riviera. Stroll through hillside villages that overlook the Mediterranean, tour a century-old perfume factory and discover the paintings that Picasso produced while staying here.

France “behind the scenes”

Finding France takes you to exceptional, under-the-radar sites that will allow you to experience authentic French culture .

Discover the richness of the country while meeting the artisans who contribute their expertise and craftsmanship.

France is filled with historical sites, monuments, quaint villages, and private domains (closed to the general public) that you’ll enjoy visiting or revisiting. Finding France organizes extraordinary visits and tours that will take you to the most unique places in France . Come and meet our winemakers, chefs, cheesemakers, potters and artists – the keepers of our living heritage.

Go behind the scenes of a pastry chef’s kitchen and discover how to make the perfect croissants, macarons, and French baguettes. Visit the family owned cellar of a local winemaker in the Champagne area and taste his excellent millésimes. Enjoy a unique wine tasting with the owner in his living room…Discover the Palace of Versailles with exclusive access to sites like the Opéra and royal apartments that are normally closed to the public. France will reveal its secrets and take you on a journey in the heart of the country and culture.

Design your Immersive, Tailor-made Experience

Discovering France off the beaten path and immersing yourself in French culture in a friendly atmosphere has never been easier. Finding France is here to make your visit memorable!

Understanding your desires

All of our tours start with you - what you’d like to do in terms of excursions, sightseeing, accommodations, tours, transportation, and food. We strive to design a personalized journey that goes beyond your expectations!

Preparing your stay

In order to design your trip, we rely on our team’s approved and tested itineraries. We have created an extensive travel log where you’ll be able to find a selection of unique accommodations (charming boutique hotels, castles, private châteaux...), restaurants and tables d’hôtes (traditional or gourmet cuisine), tours of exceptional historical sites off the beaten path , and different encounters with local artisans and producers.

Welcoming you to France

On the day of your arrival, a member of our team will meet you. He or she will be your Personal Travel Assistant throughout your journey. We will accompany you to your chosen excursions and visits in a private car or minibus and will be at your service for the duration of your trip.

Travel differently with Finding France

“Welcome to Finding France! I founded this incoming travel agency because I love my country. I’m passionate about sharing the hidden gems of our beautiful regions.

At Finding France, we strive to break down the clichés about France that often mislead international travelers. Our goal is to go behind the scenes for an in-depth look at French culture – all while taking time to build relationships. To this end, we encourage and arrange for you to meet with locals.

We aspire to allow travelers from different cultures and backgrounds to broaden their horizons and share on a different level with others. The very essence of my passion/profession is to introduce another culture’s “savoir-vivre”, “savoir-être” and “savoir-faire” (etiquette, social skills and know-how) to you.

The trips we design become one-of-a-kind moments, wonderful memories, and can even be the start of new international friendships.”

This Month's Feature Destination

Bordeaux & st émilion.

The Bordeaux region and the West Coast of France are becoming more and more requested as destinations by our clients. Up until now, we had been working with the same hotels, guides and suppliers, but Covid really shook things up and suddenly we didn’t have the same contacts and in some cases no contacts at all!

A series of phone calls rectified the essentials, but each time we spoke to people, it seemed that they always had a new property, vineyard or experience to tell us about. My curiosity was piqued, so I hopped in my car and set off on a trip that was to take me from Bordeaux to the Medoc to Saint-Émilion, Cognac, La Rochelle and Île de Ré. And I ended up re-discovering this fantastic destination in a whole new light.  - By Director, Philip Haslett

The trip was wonderful. Our Zicasso tour operator was great and really responsive during the trip. I loved the app, which made everything so much easier and clearer, and having everything in one place on our phones was so nice.

Lisa's Travel Agency

 Based on  44  reviews

Our Zicasso travel agent was fantastic. She planned a great trip that matched what we were looking for, then helped to figure out last-minute changes because of bad weather during the trip. It was comforting knowing someone else cared about the success of our trip as much as we did, and was willing to work to make things run smoothly.

Stéphane's Travel Agency

 Based on  51  reviews

Zicasso’s travel agent was there for us when we landed and throughout our stay. We had a wonderful and memorable family trip to France. Our agent was very thoughtful. The tour guides he organized were all knowledgeable and great with our children. The driver was also kind and a total professional.

Marie-Therese's Travel Agency

 Based on  61  reviews

Eric planned the perfect holiday in France. Our driver was waiting for us on arrival. Off to Normandy for our first three nights, with a quick stop at Monet's garden at Giverny. Our guide brought the water lilies to life. We checked in at an amazing five-star hotel. Do not miss either of their two Michelin-star restaurants. It's a short walk into Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, where you will find many restaurants. We spent two days exploring everything Normandy and World War 2 with an exceptional guide. Paris did not disappoint. We hit the ground running. Eric arranged a tour of Paris by car. The evening dinner cruise on the River Seine was definitely a highlight of the trip, as were beautiful views of the city lit up at night, including the Eiffel Tower. I had no idea how beautiful the Palace and Gardens of Versailles are - the restaurant on-site by the lake with rowboats is wonderful. Of course, the guide matters - she was the best! If you're a foodie, make sure you schedule a cooking class with our chef. Shopping at the local markets is an adventure in itself. I've been able to recreate the meal back in the States. We chose to explore the Champagne houses on this trip. Both were exceptional and yes, we brought home four bottles. In between houses, we had the most wonderful lunch with a champagne flight at Au 36 in Hautvillers. A trip to Paris would not be complete without visiting the Louvre and Orangerie museums. We completed our holiday with a flute of champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower!  Eric and the guides made perfect restaurant recommendations. I most definitely recommend him and the travel agency!  

Sophie's Travel Agency

 Based on  39  reviews

Thank you to Zicasso for pairing us with our travel agency and their representative, who was wonderful and attentive. She checked in on us during the trip and surprised us with complimentary champagne for our 30th anniversary! She made sure everything during our 14 days around London, Jersey (an English Channel Island), Normandy, and Paris was very smooth, with professional tours, private drivers, and seamless connection points. We couldn't have asked for better private and small-group guides, and I highly recommend them all. The guide in London was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and flexible while showing us around Soho and downtown. Another guide gave us background on past and present events for the tour of Windsor Castle. He was hilarious and an absolute treasure. Our other guide was a fantastic historian and showed us around Mont St. Michel on its 1,000th anniversary. Another guide took us on the most delicious Normandy cheese, cider, and Calvados tour, educating us on the processes. Our Giverny guide got us into Monet's Garden early, before the crowds, allowing for gorgeous pictures. Lastly, our St. Germain Secret Food tour guide took us to a Basque restaurant, where food and wine were so good you never want to leave.

Joël's Travel Agency

 Based on  121  reviews

Our trip was terrific and working with Zicasso was amazing. The responsiveness while planning the trip and during the vacation was superb. Everything ran smoothly, from the pick-up at the airport to all the guided tours. We were very happy with the overall experience.

Sabine's Travel Agency

 Based on  23  reviews

Zicasso’s travel agency is great. The transfers were well scheduled and we loved the 24-hour chat service the company offered. We used it a few times and they got back to us with the help we needed right away. Working with our travel agent to plan our trip to France was so easy. She was able to meet all of our needs. Our trip was fantastic! The hotels were beautiful, clean, and, most importantly, in great locations! We were able to walk to most of the sights we wanted to see. The tours she put together for us were wonderful. We made memories for a lifetime.

Bernhard's Travel Agency

 Based on  97  reviews

Our Zicasso travel partner listened to our preferences and needs, and helped design a fabulous trip for our family. Transportation was flawless throughout the trip and the local guides were wonderful. We enjoyed getting to know them personally and learning about their hometowns. I especially valued the app that provided us with every detail for each day, including emergency contacts, hotel information, and itinerary. Thank you!

We plan then minutely scrutinize every detail of your vacation, making sure that everything flows smoothly from one moment to another, from one place to another.  We will ensure you have the best of everything– food, accommodations, and transportation—and see to it that you see the most well-known sites accompanied by expert local guides who give you the insider’s viewpoint. We believe that every client is unique which is why every luxury vacation we plan is unique, designed specifically for you.

Travelling with children?

We provide tailor-made vacations for all ages, ensuring that everything runs like clockwork so that you are free to create beautiful memories with your family.

We spent the most incredible two weeks traveling around Switzerland, France and Italy. Our private tours were seamlessly orchestrated by AAV’s professional drivers, guides, and concierge, leaving my husband and me to explore these stunning regions in a casual, yet 5-star world. Jan B.

The trip exceeded our expectations. We did not have to worry about anything, we just enjoyed! You took care of everything. It was a perfect holiday. Julie P.

The guides were very knowledgeable and flexible. They took into account our specific requests and made suggestions that we had not even considered. It was the trip of a lifetime, due, in large part, to the advanced planning of the travel company and our fantastic guides. If you are planning a trip to France, this company is first rate. Ronald R.

We had a wonderful trip to London and Paris. AAV did an outstanding job making arrangements for our entire trip. Eric B.

AAV and our trip were both fabulous! Their guides and drivers were all first rate. R. B.

This was a trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left everything was arranged for us. All we had to do was be there! Our driver was the best as were both of our guides. The agency arranged everything and it was spectacular! We were never left feeling confused or lost because the arrangements were impeccable. I highly recommend this company. A. S.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation. We loved it all. We learned a lot, enjoyed superb dining and soaked in the beauty of France. K. O.
