Guided france tours by region.

You might be surprised to learn what were once considered “provinces” in France are now considered “regions.” In total, France has 18 regions all with their own capital city. Here are some of our favorite regions to explore on one of our across France that you’ll definitely want to check out deciding where you want to go and what you want to see on your France tour.

Normandy Tours

Travel to Normandy to stand on the Pointe du Hoc, overlooking the beaches where soldiers fought in World War II. Most France tours to Normandy include a visit to pay respects at the American Military Cemetery of Saint-Laurent, near Omaha Beach, where Allied Forces landed on D-Day. Visit Rouen, the capital of Normandy, to admire its ancient cathedral - a masterpiece of Gothic style and the subject of a series of paintings by Claude Monet. Wander through the narrow streets to the Old Market Square, where a more modern church commemorates the burning of Joan of Arc in 1431. Visit the D-Day Museum in Arromanches and see the remnants of the artificial port in the bay. Spend time at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum and learn about the epic story of William, Duke of Normandy becoming the King of England. One of our favorite places to see on a tour through Normandy is the hilltop abbey of Mont Saint-Michel. Situated on an island, the abbey is reached by a bridge across the shining sands. Behind the outer ring of defenses huddles the small town - it's one street containing shops, cafes, and hotels.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine & Bordeaux Tours

Nouvelle-Aquitaine is an area famed for its wine, beaches, and rustic countryside. The historic region encompasses the southwest corner of France, along the coast, and where the country borders Spain, what’s known as The Northern Basque Country. Tours that visit Aquitaine often stop in Bordeaux , Fort Médoc, Cadillac, Blaye, and Libourne. Bordeaux, the regional capital, proclaims itself the wine industry capital of the world. A french trip to Bordeaux offer views of thousands of vineyards, breathtaking backdrops, wines, and cultural treasures. The legendary Médoc region abounds with prestigious wine châteaux. The medieval town of Saint-Émilion is an ideal place to wander through cobblestone lanes lined with wine shops and bakeries. Lucky visitors to Saint-Émilion can enjoy a wine tasting in the cellars of a Grand Cru estate. Libourne’s market is the heart and soul of the town; offering the freshest vegetables, the ripest cheeses, the most luscious fruits, the loveliest flowers, and a chance to chat with the local producers and growers.

Île-de-France & Paris Tours

Travelers on Île-de-France tours will most certainly visit Paris  but should also take the time to explore La Roche-Guyon, Vernon, Giverny, and Mantes-la-Jolie ( Versailles ). On a tour through the Île-de-France region, immerse yourself in beautiful Paris, the City of Light. You’ll see the impressive Eiffel Tower, the imposing facades of the Louvre, the steps of Montmarte, the famous bridges that cross the River Seine, the obelisk in the center of the Place de la Concorde, the busy Champs Elysées, and Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe. If you’re an avid foodie, Paris is an absolute delight. Visit markets and head into areas where Parisians go about their daily lives to explore small shops and sample local treats and delicacies. Visit Monet’s home in the village of Giverny, where he lived and worked for more than 40 years. Monet also often painted the little riverside town of Vernon, so you are likely to recognize scenes the master rendered in oils.

Languedoc-Roussillon (Occitanie) Tours

In the south of France, the region of "Languedoc- Roussillon" (known as “Languedoc”) recently merged with the neighboring region of Midi-Pyrénées to form a new region under the name "Occitanie" Visitors to France often seek Languedoc tours to see the famous three-tiered, retired aqueduct known as the Pont du Gard. The region is also one of the top producers of wine in France, so you’re guaranteed gorgeous rolling hills, a mild climate, and a lot of wine to sample.

The Centre Region of France and Loire Valley Châteaux Tours

The Loire River in the Centre region of France is lined with magnificent châteaux that embrace the gorgeous landscape and celebrate fine food and wine, making the region one of the most attractive destinations in France. On Loire Valley tours , visitors will often seek to experience the fairytale châteaux of Chambord and Chenonceau. Head to Château de Villandry, the jewel of the Loire, to visit the glorious sustainable gardens, and make sure you don't miss the water, ornamental, and fragrant kitchen gardens. Another château not to miss in the area is the famous Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, considered one of the best representations of French Renaissance architecture. 

Burgundy and Provence Alpes–Côte d'Azur Tours

Perhaps two of the most famous areas in France, Burgundy and Provence offer visitors the region’s incomparable wine and cuisine plus access to art and history. During the lavender season, approximately mid-June to mid-August, your travels should take you to the famous lavender fields of Provence . If you're in the area, you'll want to travel to Arles, a city that has existed since the sixth century BC when the ancient Greeks founded it and named it Theline. Known for its remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there. Stroll the very streets made famous by the artist. It was also here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain. At a point on the east bank of the Rhône River before a wide delta, the walled city of Avignon is one of the most fascinating towns you can visit in southeastern France, with a host of historic gems to explore—including the fortress residence of rebellious popes who broke from Rome, known as the Palace of the Popes. 

Can't decide which cities and places you want to visit in your France tour? Make it simple by starting with the Best of France tour to help narrow down your search.

Frequently Asked Questions When Choosing A France Tour

• When is the best time to tour France? The best time to visit France is in the springtime, followed by the summer and autumn seasons next. Spring will almost always guarantee fewer crowds and cooler temperatures ranging from 55°F to 68°F. Plus, Paris in spring is absolutely incredible with fewer crowds, blooming trees, and that gentle weather. 

If you only get to see one city on a French vacation, the best place to visit i is Paris. Visitors flock to Paris to explore the mecca of fashion, food, art, and more. If you're there, try to catch the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower up close or from the deck of a riverboat cruising the Seine. Travelers can dedicate full days to exploring the Louvre in Paris and strolling the nearby gardens of the historical Palace of Versailles.

If you have more time to spend in this gorgeous country, we highly recommend visiting the Loire Valley for the châteaux, Bordeaux for the vineyards and wine, Normandy for the history, Mont-Saint Michele for the photo opp, Basque country for the cheeses, and Giverny for a peek into Monet’s world. People come from far and wide to pay their respects or revisit the poignant D-Day Beaches and WWII sites throughout the Normandy region. Tours that visit Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, and central France are also incredibly popular. The country is without a doubt one of the most memorable places you can explore in Europe.

Good evening

"There's nowhere quite like Paris and it's amazing to watch our guests light up when they see bucket list icons like the Eiffel Tower in real life. Don't forget to slow down and savour the freshly baked pastries from the local boulangerie and mingle with the locals in the sidewalk cafés and markets."

Travel Director

See the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo at the Louvre

You can’t take a Paris trip without visiting the Louvre. It’s the both the largest art museum and the most-visited museum in the world, and you can soak it all in with our special evening experience at the Louvre. You’ll discover masterpieces like the Mona Lisa with your Local Specialist and enjoy the quiet atmosphere without the crowds. Simply magical.

Visit the remarkable church of Saint-Sulpice

Paris is full of spectacular architecture, and the church of Saint-Sulpice may be one of the best. This medieval cathedral is the second-largest church in the city and your Paris travel guide will show you around the stunning facades, stained glass windows, impressive fountains, unique sundial, and the breathtaking organ, one of the largest in the world.

Enjoy a leisurely cruise along the River Seine

As the scenic centrepiece of Paris, you can’t miss exploring the iconic River Seine. We’ll wander along the pretty riverbank by day and take you on a special Seine cruise by night, when the City of Light is illuminated in twinkling lights. Look out for icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame, and relax as you drift along this enchanting river.

Explore the Latin Quarter of Paris

When you travel Paris with Trafalgar, you’ll join a Local Specialist to discover the Latin Quarter, the city’s epicentre of culture, learning and creativity. See the ancient Sorbonne University, one of the world’s first universities, soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this student hotspot, and perhaps even stop by the legendary Shakespeare and Co bookstore.

Experience a traditional Parisian Cabaret

You’ve probably seen the Parisian Cabaret in dozens of movies and photos, but there’s nothing quite like experiencing the real thing. We’ll take you to the world-famous Moulin Rouge Cabaret, where you’ll enjoy dinner, champagne and a dazzling show of 60 dancers and over 1,000 costumes, for an incredible evening you’ll never forget.

Our top 5 things to do in Paris

With so many incredible Paris attractions to choose from, we’ll show you the very best things to do in Paris, from the beautiful Saint-Sulpice to the original Parisian cabaret.

Musée Rodin

Located just steps away from the Eiffel Tower, you can’t miss the spectacular Musée Rodin. Founded in 1916 by Auguste Rodin himself, the museum features the artist’s incredible sculptures within an 18th-century rocco mansion and a stunning three-hectare garden, along with his personal collection of paintings, photographs and ancient artefacts.

Paris Opera & Palais Garnier

If you want to experience the height of Parisian opulence, it’s got to be the Palais Garnier. This extraordinary building is a 1,979-seat opera house constructed in the late 19th-century, and is renowned as the setting for The Phantom of the Opera. Today you can discover its magnificent treasures or even spend a glitzy night at the opera or ballet.

Grand Palais

Located right across from the Champs-Élysées, the Grand Palais is an icon of Paris with its giant glass ceiling and Beaux-Arts style architecture. Its interior is even more thrilling, with national art galleries, science museums and exhibition halls all held under the famous dome, and you can easily spend a day or two here.

Best museums in Paris

When you travel Paris with Trafalgar, we’ll make sure you get your fill of the best Paris museums, from the iconic Louvre to the magnificent Opéra Garnier.

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is the ultimate French vegetarian dish, loved by all for its heartwarming local flavors. It’s essentially a vegetable stew, made with a rich tomato sauce and a rainbow of veggies like zucchini, eggplant and squash, and herbs like basil, garlic and thyme. One bite and you’ll fall in love with the home-cooked ratatouille of Paris.

One of France’s most famous recipes, Coq au Vin features wine-braised chicken served alongside ingredients like mushrooms and bacon. Across the country you will try many regional versions of this comforting dish, which translates fittingly to “rooster/cock with wine”.

French cuisine celebrates both savory and sweet ingredients, not just in the form of croissants. Find true street-food joy in the popular dessert of crêpes, with strawberries, Nutella, bananas and lemon curd just some of the toppings loved by locals and travelers alike. Or, try the national specialty crêpes Suzette with orange zest and caramelized butter.

Best food in Paris

Our Paris holidays are filled with the legendary Parisian cuisine, and we’ll show you all the best places to try your French favorites from fresh croissants to delicate desserts.

What to pack for Paris

French phrasebook

It’s a good idea to learn some common French phrases before arriving in Paris, and the locals are sure to appreciate your efforts to learn their mother tongue.

Camera & extra SD card

Paris is full of soul-stirring moments you’ll want to capture forever, so be sure to pack a few extra SD cards for all those special snaps and videos.

Comfortable shoes

Whether you’re wandering through the Louvre, or strolling along the River Seine, you’ll need a comfy pair of shoes on your Paris tour.

Formal wear

If you want to hit the town in Paris with a Moulin Rouge show or a night at the opera, be sure to bring a glamorous outfit to fit in with the chic locals.

All-weather clothing

Paris is known for its unpredictable weather, with rain one day and sunshine the next. It’s best to pack both warm and cooler layers so you’re prepared for everything.

France Tours & Travel Guide

France Attractions & Landmarks Guide

France is one of the most visited countries in the world. And that’s no surprise -- when you have Paris, the Riviera, Provence, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Normandy, the Pyrenees, the Seine, the Rhone, and some of the world’s best food and wine, you’re going to draw crowds. Whether you tour France by river cruise, culinary tour, or bike tour you’re sure to agree: Viva La France!

A  tour of Paris , of course, is on most everyone’s France tour itinerary, with sights like the Louvre (so huge it could easily take a month to cover beyond the Mona Lisa), Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, the Marais, and the Seine with its Bateaux Mouches boats and dozens of bridges offering a walkway or river ride through the center of it all. 

Popular France River Cruises

Cruise travel continues to be on the rise for all budgets and one of the top trends is river cruising, particularly for baby boomers. Seniors, and even millennials are also stepping aboard in larger numbers but no matter the budget, a big attraction of river cruising is its intimacy.

Ocean liners can tower in size and accommodate thousands of passengers. River cruise ships on the other hand are designed to navigate narrow waterways, locks and low bridges which gives passengers a quite different experience. You can delight in exploring from the decks of a sleek ship joined by only about 100-150 other passengers.

If you are thinking of exploring France by river , it’s helpful to know the regions and cities of France that can be accessed by a river cruise vessel. This will help you decide the best French river cruise for you.

There are four major rivers in France with the Seine , Rhone and Garonne/Dordogne rivers being the most popular for river cruises. The Loire is the longest river and starts high in the southeastern mountains. It flows north, then west into the Atlantic. 

Seine - sourced from the mountains of southeastern France and flows to the northwest. From the capital city of light and love to the World War II beachheads including Omaha Beach, Paris to Normandy is a popular Seine river cruise , with some tour operators including excursions to London. River cruising in Northern France may also take you along the Seine’s eastern tributary, the Marne, where you can savor brie from a master cheesemaker in the heart of the Brie region. 

Rhone - sourced from the Alps of Switzerland , directly east of France. The Rhone “kisses” its northern tributary, the Saone , at the city of Lyon, the second largest urban area of France, a part of which is a registered UNESCO World Heritage site. There are both Northbound and Southbound Rhone river cruises ; a southbound cruise will take you straight south through the Rhone Valley, known for the intensely fragrant lavender fields of Provence, olive groves that produce some of the highest quality olive oil on earth and of course, the vineyards. Most notable is the Burgundy region, one of the classic French wine regions. The river meets the Mediterranean Sea near Marseilles, northwest of the French Riviera. Marseilles is the largest port and second largest city in France. 

The Rhine river , from its source in Switzerland, makes its way north not only through France but also, Germany, Austria , Liechtenstein and the Netherlands . Rhine and Rhone river cruises allow you to see the sites of France, Germany and beyond. Use Stride’s search tools to help you zero in on the trip that speaks to you!

Garonne/Dordogne rivers and Gironde estuary - sourced from the Spanish pyrenees that lie on the border between Spain and France, a Garonne river cruise will take you north into France then west towards Bordeaux, yet another famed wine region and Unesco World Heritage site. Bordeaux is second to Paris for its plethora of preserved historic buildings. Just after Bordeaux, the Garonne flows into the Dordogne river, forming the Gironde estuary before it empties into the Atlantic. France river cruises in this region are newer to the European river cruise offerings and perhaps not yet as popular as cruising the Seine and Rhone. Some focus only on the city of Bordeaux and the surrounding communes of Cadillac, Pauillac and Libourne while others include regions beyond.  

Top Regions in France

The extraordinary diversity of mainland France can be better appreciated with some knowledge of its geography, all of it packed into an area just under the size of two states of Colorado.

France is bordered not only by the Atlantic on its western coast but also the Ligurian and Meditteranean Seas on its southeastern coast. It boasts eight mountain ranges. The Alps and Pyrennes are the most impressive in size with Mont Blanc in the Alps rising over 15,000 feet above sea level, the 11th highest in the world. 

France has a number of overseas departments and regions, most of which are relics from its colonial empire but the mainland and Meditteranean island of Corsica are divided into 13 regions, each with its own wonder.

Use Stride’s filter features to choose everything from traveler’s age preference to travel theme. Below are the regions and their highlights, listed by cardinal direction which will help you to more easily visualize and book your French tour . 

1. Northern France 

Normandy - Just east of Paris. Discover the historic D-Day landing beaches and the majestic cliffs of the Alabaster Coast that inspired so many of the French Impressionist painters. See the water lily ponds of Claude Monet’s famous painting come to life in the village of Giverny, where he lived from 1833 to 1926. You can also visit the gardens on his property. There are over a thousand sites and attractions listed on the Normandy tourism site, making it one of the top regions to visit in France. Normandy Tours  »

Ile de France - The city of Paris makes this another top region in France. Be awestruck by the Eiffel tower and encaptivated by the art at the world’s largest art museum, the Louvre. Less than 20 miles from Paris, visit the Chateau Versailles, Disneyland and Euro Disney.  Paris tours with or without other stops in France and beyond will help you get started. 

Hauts de France - The Opal coast, so named for its opalescent light sits on the English channel. Visit the floating gardens and gothic cathedral of Amiens or Lille, the old capital of the Flemish region. 

2. Southern France

Provence-Alpes-Cote d’ Azur - One of the top regions in France for tourists whether for the beaches and resorts of the French Riviera, including Monaco, Nice and Cannes, the lavender fields of Provence or the gothic and renaissance buildings of Avignon.

For outdoors enthusiasts, Calanques National Park is a top destination in Southern France, greeting visitors with inlets of turquoise waters bordered by steep walls of rock.  

Corsica - The French military leader and emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, came from Corsica. The island is located about 145miles from the southern coast. Many of the tours to Corsica include hiking. 

Occitanie - Explore Toulouse, the pink city, known for the variety of bricks used in its buildings. In Nimes you’ll find the best preserved Roman amphitheater in the world and in Cathar County, the fortified city of Carcassonne  with its imposing wall further fortified by 52 towers. 

3. Central France

Centre-Val-De-Loire - A top region of France known for its vineyards and chateaux (castles), homes to French kings of the Renaissance. The area is seen by many, many tourists from their bikes.  

Loire Valley Tours

4. Eastern France

Grand Est - Includes the regions of Alsace-Champagne-Ardennes-Lorainne. Tours to Alsace often take you to the bordering countries of Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland .

You may have guessed that visits to the tasting cellars of the champagne vineyards will be on your itinerary and perhaps the Route des Vins - the Alsace wine road. In its capital, Strasbourg, you’ll find the oldest Christmas market in Europe and for those inclined to military history, the Grand Est has plenty to tell from both World Wars. There are also several forests and parks to explore. 

Auvergne-Rhone Alpes - Glide down the slopes of world class ski resorts like Chamonix and Val D’Isere. See Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe and aptly called the “roof of Europe.” Auvergne, one of the largest protected natural reserves in Europe has more than 100 hot springs and nearly as many volcanoes.

Activities for both the summer or winter visitor may leave you with a shortage of energy but easily replenished by a visit to the spa and then perhaps some sustenance in the form of cheese, both of which the area is also known for. Tours to the French Alps  »

Bourgogne-Franche Comté - A top region in France known for its Burgundy vineyards, river tourism, medieval and renaissance castles. Dijon, one of the best preserved town centres in France is in the Burgundy region.

In France Comte which borders Switzerland the Jura Mountains and Vosges massif create a beautiful landscape varying in elevation and filled with lakes and forests. And if you haven’t tried Comte cheese, now’s the time. It’s one of the most highly produced in France. Tours to Burgundy  »

5. Western France

Bretagne -  Brittany is known for its Celtic history among other things. The Bretons, who speak Breton, not French, are a Celtic ethnic group native to the area. The names given to different areas of the coast speak to its diversity: Jade, Emerald, Wild and Pink Granite. A land of myths, legends, moorland and medieval towns. Tours to Brittany often include Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley.

Pays de la Loire - South of Brittany is the western Loire. It, too, has its castles and vineyards although not as well known as the central Loire valley. You’ll find more of the dramatic Atlantic coastline, a masterpiece of religious architecture and the largest monastic site in Europe: the Abbey of Fontevraud. The second most visited theme park in France after Disneyland Paris is also in the western Loire, Puy Du Fou. 

Nouvelle Aquitaine - Located south of Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle Aquitaine was the first spa region in France. Dax is the most well known - since Roman times - but is just one of a whopping 30 spa towns. Not a spa-goer? Stay and enjoy fine sandy beaches and Bordeaux wine paired with food from one of the many Michelin starred restaurants. 

Food & Wine in France

France is not only the birthplace of the Michelin hotel and restaurant reference guide, now more than a century old, but its cuisine of “intangible cultural heritage” was designated a UNESCO cultural object in 2010. Accordingly, French cuisine - including its cheese and wine - is a source of great national pride. Indeed, the French way of life is inseparable from its gastronomy.

The Michelin guide publishes annual guides for hotels and restaurants in many countries these days but in France when the guide is published each year it sparks such a media frenzy that it has been compared to that of the Academy Awards. The loss or gain of a star can have significant consequences and as such, a chef can fall or rise from his or her celebrity level status in just one day. 

Quiche, bouillabaisse, cassoulets, souffles, coq a vin, crepes and creme brulee are some of the traditional French foods with which you are probably familiar. Generally known for its heavy sauces, meat-centric dishes and decadent desserts, one of the secrets to staying relatively trim is that the French eat for pleasure - and they don’t eat that way every day.

Whether over lingering lunches, 3 hour dinners or even longer sojourns to the cafe they’ve generally walked to, travel writer and author Rick Steves claims that the French have a legislated 35 hour work week and a self imposed 36 hour eat week. 

The physical diversity of France lends itself to a tremendously diverse production of cheese. There are 41 traditional regional cheeses designated AOP or “ Appellation d'Origine Protégée” meaning that they cannot be produced, processed or developed outside of the region from which they came due to the recognized expertise and terroir.

The designation protects against fraud and is a guarantee of quality. Other varieties number up to 400 by some estimates, although with sub varieties included, the number jumps to 1000. Cheese maps show the unique varieties produced in each region. But alas, what is food in France without its wine? Top culinary and wine tours in France  »

France disputes the title of largest producer with Italy and Spain but if ranked by area planted in vines, did you know that title belongs to China, then Spain? There are over 400 AOPs (AOPs replace the earlier AOC designations). Other classification systems are not as strict as those of the AOP; for example, IGPs (Indication Géographique Protégée). 

Rather than get lost in the complexity of the classification system, just start tasting! Generally, you’ll find lighter wines in the north and fuller bodied wines in the south where it is sunnier.

Below are the top wine regions in France and their main varietals, in order of highest to lowest acreage of vines. “ Sante!” ( To Your Health) 

Languedoc-Roussillon Main Varietals: White Wines: Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne Red Wines: Grenache, Syrah, Carignane, Cinsaut Bordeaux Main Varietals: White Wines: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Muscadelle Red Wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec

Cycling Tour Packages in France

There’s something about using your legs to propel you over terrain, especially terrain as beautiful as that of France. Cycling tours in France range from easy to extreme with the majority of them being moderate.

On the extreme end, hop in your saddle to tackle easier climbs at the start of your Pyrenees trip but find your legs pumping hard over Col du Tourmaletm,  one of the most popular mountain passes in the Tour de France at just under 7,000’.

But have no fear, there are more moderate Cols to climb on Tour de France cycling tours or for an easier ride, cycle the backroads of Provence . For moderate riding, cycle the Loire Valley and there’s even a number of self-guided cycling tours in France .

The Riviera and Provence

A visit to France may include a  tour along the Mediterranean Sea . The glamorous and sometimes ostentatious French Riviera beach resorts include Cannes (site of the film festival), Nice (the largest city), Cap Ferrat, and St. Tropez.

The Riviera is just part of sunny Provence in southeastern France, which is tucked between the Rhone River , Italy , the Alps and the Mediterranean. It’s a land where sea air, mountain gorges, vineyards, medieval villages, Roman ruins, olive groves and lavender fields combine to create a sensuous medley of sights, scents and tastes.

The light in Provence is so striking that painters such as Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse, and Picasso were all drawn here, immortalizing the landscapes, architecture, and people.

Provence is home as well to France’s second largest city and major port, Marseilles, which displays North African influences and is known for bouillabaisse, the local fish stew. All this has helped make Provence France’s number one tourist destination beyond Paris.

• Paris - Extension Begins
• This morning, step back in time during a walking tour centered on the French Revolution. Your expert guide evokes the shadows of Marie Antoinette and Robespierre as you journey back to the tumultuous years of 1789-1799. Visit landmarks such as Place de la Bastille (where the infamous prison once stood) and Place de la Concorde where the revolutionary government erected a guillotine in the square (and where King Louis XVI was executed on 21 January 1793). The afternoon is yours to explore more of the French capital independently. Perhaps you’ll stroll through the Beaubourg neighborhood and take in the whimsical moving fountain of the Centre Pompidou for Contemporary Art. Dedicated to the former French President Georges Pompidou, this building represents the first major example of 'inside-out' architecture with its structural, mechanical and circulation systems exposed on the exterior of the building. Today this eclectic building synthetizes the blend of tradition and innovation that distinguishes Paris.
• The day is yours to explore more of the French capital on your own. Perhaps you’ll wander over to the Left Bank of the Seine River and plunge into the bohemian atmosphere of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood and the Latin Quarter. Or visit one of the city’s iconic museums, such as the highly acclaimed Musée D’Orsay. The former railroad station now houses some of the world’s best impressionist art. This evening, celebrate the end of your extended stay in Paris with dinner in a local brasserie* before sliding into the backseat of a vintage retro car, cruising through the chic boulevards and peering up at the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe from the car’s open roof.

France FAQ's

The first thing that often comes to mind when you think of France is Paris, the capital of this stunning country and one of the hottest tourist destinations in the entire world. Symbols such as the Louvre, the Catheral of Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter, Montemartre, and the Georges Pompidou Center all make Paris one of the most visited places in the world. However, France is a large country in Europe and there are so many other destinations and attractions that it is known for. The country is famous for its cheeses (Camembert, Brie, Roquefort), wines (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, etc.), perfumes (Chanel, Dior, Givenchy) and cars (Renault, Citroen, Peugeot) as well as the Tour de France and the Eiffel Tower. France has surprises stored for you at every corner, be it French food, the culture, their language, and their natural beauty. It has amazing artists, memorable monuments and so much more! It is the most visited country in the world and you really need to come see it for yourself to see what all the fuss is about.

The French lovingly call their beloved homeland `l`Hexagone` because of its distinct six-sided shape. Each region of France has its own unique character: the rugged and outdoorsy Alpilles , sun-drenched and relaxed Provence , the alluring and stunning Provencal Coast , and Alsace Lorraine with picture-perfect hamlets nestled in vine-covered hills. You also won't want to miss the Nice and the beaches of the French Riviera . Paris and Versailles are must-see destinations for a first trip to France. Other classic travel itineraries include stops at chic seaside resorts, fairy-tale castles, and magnificent Gothic cathedrals. More authentic and off-the-beaten-track experiences are found in the countryside, such as at farmhouses in Burgundy , fishing villages in Brittany, and in the forests of the Pyrenees Mountains.

France, particularly the cities, can be enjoyed all year round, but the country is at its best in the spring (April–May), summer (June–August) and autumn (September–October). Overall, France enjoys mild temperatures, but regional variations include a Mediterranean climate in the south and wetter weather in the north near the English Channel. In August most of the country closes down to chase the sunshine in the south. Winter is one of our preferred times to explore Paris, as the crowds are fewer yet the restaurants are still lively with locals. For more information, check out: Best time to Visit .

We recommend 7-10 days based on what you want to see and do. We offer flexible vacation packages so you can select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities. We suggest a minimum of 3 nights in larger cities.

Traveling around France is easy, whether you get there by plane, train, automobile - or even boat, in the case of Corsica. So getting out and exploring the countryside, wine regions and other sights is accessible and easy. A fast two-hour train ride from Paris will get you to Lyon, France`s gastronomic center. A 90-minute drive puts you in Champagne, where you can sip Champagne in the town where Dom Perignon perfected it. A train to Marseilles lets you soak up the Mediterranean sun while visiting classic Provencal towns like Aix, St. Remy, Arles and Nimes. By Car: If you`re sticking to major cities during your trip, there`s no need to rent a car. You`re much better off transferring by train - and driving in urban areas can be a hair-raising experience. But if you`re looking to explore the little towns and villages France is famous for, renting a car will give you the freedom you need. All the major rental agencies serve France. For more information, check out check out: Driving in France . By Train: France created one of the earliest high-speed train systems, and continues to add destinations. The TGV ( Train a Grande Vitesse ) serves 150 cities in France and neighboring countries, at speeds up to 200 miles per hour. It`s operated by SNCF, the state-owned railway company, which also offers regular inter-city services on its 20,000 miles of rails.

The currency of France is the Euro. US dollars are not accepted. Please be sure to have the correct currency on hand or be prepared to exchange your dollars for euros upon arrival. Currency exchange desks can be found at the airport and many locations throughout the city. For more detailed information, consult our guide by clicking here Tipping in France .

French is the official language in France. English may be spoken at your hotel and in the tourist areas, but not everywhere. You may face instances that are confusing, but don't stress and you'll do fine. Lots of people speak English and at the very least are used to dealing with tourists who do not speak French. We suggest you get a good English-French guidebook and familiarize yourself with common phrases such as hello, goodbye, excuse me and numbers 1-10.

Classic French Way – Full Camino

• Start Saint Jean Pied de Port, France
• End Santiago de Compostela, Spain
• Date March to November
• Duration 36 - 80 night tailored itineraries
• Distance 770 km / 480 miles
• Grade Mainly Moderate - Some Ascents

This is the iconic Camino de Santiago route, extending 480 miles / 770 km, from the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. Our tailored itineraries allow you to walk it all in one or in shorter stages as your time permits.

Your full Camino journey begins in the French Pyrenees border town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. From here the Way of St James takes you across the majestic Pyrenees mountains – providing a thrilling start to your epic journey.

Your Way – we make sure your Camino itinerary goes at the right pace for you, with the odd rest day to give body and soul a chance to rest, refresh and take in some of the iconic places of the Camino.

Our Expertise – the WTC Camino team has more than a dozen years of experience on the Camino. We will help you plan the best route possible to suit your needs and expectations.

Your Timeframe – typically you will need around 5 to 8 weeks to walk the full Camino, which is where our expertise comes into its own. We will help you judge the right pace and time frame. Tackle the Camino in one go or take on shorter sections over a period of time. Many of our clients complete the entire French way over a period of 2-3 years. Some will also add on the extension to Finisterre on the Atlantic coast and the 0 km waymarker.

Your Memories – Filled with a thousand years of pilgrimage history and culture, the Camino attracts both spiritual and secular travellers by virtue of its religious heritage, personal challenge, famous camaraderie and wonderfully varied landscapes. This is an experience that will live with you forever.

Europe’s Most Famous & Ancient Pilgrimage In the 21st-century people are drawn to the Camino de Santiago for many reasons – spiritual enlightenment, adventure, freedom from routine and to share the famed camaraderie of the Way. There are many aspects that make this experience so special.

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela was proclaimed the first European Cultural itinerary by the Council of Europe in 1987 and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Camino is one of the major themes of medieval history in Europe.

Known as the French Camino, starting from the French-Spanish border, it has been followed by pilgrims to Santiago for more than one thousand years. Christians have made their way here, travelling a wide network of footpaths, from Scandinavia, Britain, Mediterranean lands, Istanbul and beyond. This international web of trails has played a fundamental role in facilitating cultural development in Europe during the Middle Ages.

For the majority of northern Europeans, St Jean Pied de Port in France was the key point for crossing the mighty Pyrenees into Spain. A network of pilgrim hospices and hostelries sprang up – offering, shelter, medical attention and spiritual sustenance for the faithful.

Around the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, one of the great masterpieces of Romanesque art, the city of Santiago de Compostela boasts a magnificent old town worthy of one of Christianity’s greatest holy cities.

Camino Culture, History and Monuments The Camino de Santiago has preserved a complete material record in the form of ecclesiastical and secular buildings, settlements large and small and ancient civil engineering structures. Some 1,800 buildings along the route, both religious and secular, are of historic interest.

There is no comparable Christian pilgrimage route of such extent and continuity anywhere in Europe. Although interest in the other major Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome are developing, these are only recognizable in a rather fragmented fashion.

The three major Camino cities of Pamplona, Leon and Burgos are spread at equal intervals along the road to Santiago de Compostela. But there are many small hamlets, villages and towns peppered in between to explore.

Many Festivals, both religious and secular take place through the year and you may be lucky enough to encounter one of these on your journey. The main festival in Spain is Easter – Semana Santa – and celebrated in every settlement on the Camino.

We will be happy to create a personalised itinerary designed specifically around your needs and interests. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees, the Camino covers 800 km heading west across the North of Spain. Typically our clients spend between 5 and 8 weeks walking the full Camino.

Crossing The Pyrenees from St Jean Pied de Port

For many this is the most challenging and rewarding day of the entire Camino – with 2 variant paths, firstly the Valcarlos Route is the gentler way and secondly, the Napoleon Route which involves a climb to around 1400m with magnificent views.

You arrive at Navarra’s capital city by way of the 12th-century Magdalena bridge. Enter through the city walls into a maze of narrow streets with the Cathedral, Town Hall, Plaza Del Castillo and Ernest Hemingway’s favourite bar at the art deco Cafe Iruna. The Palace of Navarre and Museum of Navarre add a dash of art and culture. The famed San Fermin festival each July draws huge crowds to witness and participate in the Running of the Bulls (6-14 July 2018). We can book your place on a private balcony for the spectacle.

Alto de Perdon

The Hill of Forgiveness outside Pamplona is a tough climb, but you’re welcomed by a monumental steel sculpture of pilgrims on foot and horseback. Look for the inscription “Donde se cruza el Camino del Viento con el de las Estrellas” – Where the Path of the Wind meets the Path of the Stars – referring to the Milky Way guiding you to Compostela.

Puente de la Reina

Historically a crossroads with the Aragonese route from Somport, the bridge is one of the most beautiful examples of Romanesque architecture on the Camino. In the last week of July, there is a festival in honour of Santiago with music, bullfights, dances and shows. July 25th is St James’ day.

Surrounded by a medieval wall, Viana has monuments, palaces and stately manors. The majestic church of Santa Maria is the resting place of Cesare Borgia, son Pope Alexander VI – brother of poisoner Lucrezia and a serial murderer himself. This devilish renaissance man was also the inspiration for Machiavelli’s famous work The Prince and patron to Leonardo da Vinci.

The famous Stone Bridge takes you across the river Ebro into La Rioja. Logrono is filled with Camino monuments and is a town for gourmet. Do not miss out the chance to enjoy superb wines and tapas as you explore the famous Calle Laurel in the heart of the old town. It’s home to 100 tapas bars, each offering gastronomic specialities.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Founded in the 11th-century by a monk wishing to assist pilgrims on their journey to Compostela. He built a bridge across the river, established a pilgrim hospital – now a Parador – and made a road to Najera. Santo Domingo is the patron Saint of public building works, engineers and Spanish Caminos. 10th – 15th of May is the commemorative Fiesta of the Saint.

The superb medieval Cathedral is a Unesco World Heritage Site and holds the shrine of hero-soldier El Cid. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Castile with 35 hospitals for pilgrims, Burgos has so much to delight the Camino traveller. A perfect place to enjoy a rest day, see the sights and enjoy the local cuisine of oven roast lamb, black pudding, cheeses and tapas.

This is the vast, lonely plain of Castile-Leon province – with big skies and huge arable fields changing colour with the seasons. It stretches well over 200km from Burgos towards Astorga and is dotted with welcoming villages, each one an oasis for a weary pilgrim – Hontanas, Hornillos Del Camino, Castrojeriz, Carrion de Los Condes. We do not recommend walking here in high summer unless you are accustomed to temperatures in excess of 35-40 degrees Celcius, as the sun beats down with no shade or cover. But in spring and autumn, this is an atmospheric place, rural, empty and with a haunting beauty of its own.

Roman walls surround about half the historic city, if you follow them around the outside from the Basilica de San Isidoro, they will take you back to the east façade of the cathedral. The Barrio Humedo in the historic centre is the place to spend an evening sampling the copious tapas and excellent local wines – forget dinner. Convento de San Marcos, once a convent hospital for pilgrims, is now a luxury Parador. Take a close look at the statues & medallions on the Plateresque-style façade, many of which represent Saint James.

A very attractive city with Roman and Arab roots, a superb medieval Cathedral and fantastical Episcopalian Place designed by Gaudi. The gastronomy here is rich – look for Cocido maragato, cecina , thick hot chocolate and various desserts, sweets, magnificent mantecadas and pastries.

Cruz de Ferro

A hilly stage takes you over the Cantabrian Mountains after Astorga, through Rabanal Del Camino and from here the climb starts the ‘Iron Cross’ near Foncebaddon (1520m). The famous Cruz Ferro / ‘Iron Cross’ monument is where pilgrims unburdened themselves of any stones they’ve carried. It’s an interesting spot with many mementoes of different sorts.

Home to the Grand Castle of the Knight’s Templar – the semi-mystical order that once protected Pilgrims on the Camino and the Holy Land. It’s been restored and opened to the public.

From Villafranca del Bierzo, a delightful town at the foot of the hills you have a challenging climb up to O’Cebreiro at 1300m. It’s the steepest ascent of the Camino, often taken in 2 stages. This tiny hilltop hamlet is a time-capsule, with stone built, thatched roundhouses – you feel like you’ve gone back to Celtic times. The ancient church of Santa Maria da la Real dates from 836.

Dating back to the 6th century, the monastery of San Julian de Samos, began as a community of hermits who gradually built the monastery. Razed by fire and rebuilt several times, it has been Benedictine since the 12th century and combines Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. It’s a quiet, contemplative place to visit, on a variant path from Triacastela to Sarria, with fewer pilgrims making the detour here.

Santiago de Compostela

The historic centre is a UNESCO world heritage site, with the Cathedral as the jewel in the crown. The discovery of the Tomb of the Apostle in the 14th-century has drawn millions from across the world, and yet it retains quiet and peaceful corners for contemplation as well as jubilant public spaces where you can celebrate the journeys’ end. Holy Years fall when the Saint’s birthday of 25th July is a Sunday and the Holy Door is ceremonially opened for the year. The next Holy Year is 2021.

Food & Drink

For any traveller on the Camino, nourishment and refreshment is an important part of the daily routine. There are many places to enjoy good local dishes to suit a variety of tastes and budgets. We also aim to cater for those with particular dietary needs.

The local bars and cafes offer light snacks, seasonal plates of freshly prepared food, tapas and refreshments. As you pass through the regions you will encounter local specialities – often of the variety that best sustains a weary, hungry traveller.

All our itineraries are booked for Bed and Breakfast. Half board with dinner is possible too, but these set dinners can become repetitive, featuring similar dishes each night. We encourage you to eat out and try a wider range of local specialities.

Breakfast Where available we always order a full breakfast spread for our clients. But breakfast does vary between establishments – from just a light pastry and hot drink to a full buffet spread. Whether you have a light or substantial offering, you can top up mid-morning at a cafe on the route. The Spanish habit is to have breakfast between 10 and 11 when cafes and bars fill with locals having their “desayuno”.

Lunch Lunches on the Camino are often taken as picnics and most places have local shops selling items of fresh local produce to purchased each morning before you set out on the trail. Certain lodgings will offer pre-ordered packed lunches. Or check your guide and plan to stop off in a cafe-bar or restaurant on the Way.

Dinner Spanish people tend to have dinner from 9 pm. But on the Camino, dinner is usually served from 8 pm — so do take advantage of the habitual afternoon “merienda” to keep you going, once you have arrived at your daily destination. That could be cold beer “cerveza” and tapas or coffee and cake.

Pilgrim Menus Many of our lodgings offer 3 course set menus with water, bread and often a glass of wine for just a few euros. These are advertised locally as “Pilgrim Menus” and available pretty much everywhere along the route. You’ll notice that there are staple common dishes as well as regional recipes according to the season.

Hydration Hydration is essential — carry between 1.5 and 3l of drinking water, depending on the season, temperatures and distance you plan to cover. Keep a sugary and salty snack handy in your pocket or daypack – this will give you that little extra burst of energy to keep you going.

Merienda Mid morning/afternoon snacks known as “merienda” are the perfect way to sustain yourself on the Way. Especially if you are not used to the later meal times which are the norm across Spain. It is customary for Spanish people to have a mid-morning stop for breakfast and late afternoon for a bite to keep them going until the traditional late dinner.

Spanish Gastronomy The larger towns and cities of the Camino have a variety of lively plazas with bars and restaurants, so there will be plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy a wider range of Spanish gastronomy and a variety of local and world-famous Spanish wines.

You can choose to upgrade your accommodation standard, (available in a few selected places along the route), where you can enjoy a la carte menus and fine dining in the hotel restaurant.

Picnic Shopping Many people enjoy shopping for lunch items and snacks in the local food shops each day. You’ll find many little stores offering local produce, fruits and vegetables, cheeses and cured meats, fresh local baked goods – ideal for making your daily picnic for the daily walk. On certain days, Markets also make an appearance in most villages and towns. Some of our lodgings will provide a picnic lunch by request.

Local Wines Spain has a great wine making culture. All of the regions you cross produce their own vinos (red and white), cervezas (light beer), and licores (strong spirits). For those looking for non alcoholic drinks have plenty of choices as well.

Gastronomic Experiences If you fancy yourself as a bit of a foodie, why don’t you try our Gastronomic Camino in La Rioja? You’ll enjoy special places to stay, excellent cuisine and outstanding wine tasting at local vineyards on the route. And a lovely long walk before your next meal.

Walk At The Right Pace We have the experience to help you judge the right pace to ensure your Camino itinerary is a good fit.

Take as little or as much time as you need to complete the entire Camino. If you can’t take on the full route in one go – no problem. We’ll break the Camino into shorter sections so you can complete the full Way when you have time. You should feel confident before setting out that the pace is manageable for you and not overly demanding.

Fitness – if you are new to long distance walking we provide expert advice and a walkers preparation guide. You certainly need a degree of fitness and stamina to take on this challenge, continuous walking can take its toll on the joints and feet of the unprepared.

Tailored Itineraries – the formula to a successful Camino is getting the itinerary paced right and taking rest days. Your feet, body and soul all benefit from a break – this is the key to arriving in Santiago in good condition. Too often we have seen people crippled by an over-ambitious schedule. We want to ensure your experience is a memorable one for the right reasons.

Our Expertise – we will create a personalised itinerary designed specifically around your needs, interests, budget, timescale and walking capabilities.

Full Camino Highlights Tour is designed just for you, allowing you to experience the best of the entire Camino in just a week or two.

The Full Camino Frances – 480 miles / 770 kms Starting from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees heading west across the North of Spain to the Shrine of the Apostle St James in Santiago de Compostela.

Typically our full Camino itineraries range from 35 to 50 nights even up to 80 nights.

Our expert travel managers will make sure you have the correctly paced itinerary to ensure a successful journey.

The Full Camino In Stages Many of our clients choose to complete the entire Camino Frances, in manageable shorter sections over a longer period of time. You can begin at any point of your choosing. We can arrange all your local transfers, by train, bus or car.

Each stage of the Camino has a character of its own.

The following sections are divided for ease of transport connections along the Camino.

Stage 1: St Jean Pied de Port – Pamplona 90kms / 56 miles Stage 2: Pamplona – Logrono 95 kms / 59 miles Stage 3: Logrono – Burgos 122kms / 76 miles Stage 4: Burgos – Leon 179 kms / 110 miles Stage 5: Leon – Ponferrada 105 kms / 65 miles Stage 6: Ponferrada – Sarria 91 kms / 56 miles Stage 7: Sarria – Santiago de Compostela 115 kms / 72 miles

Extension to Finisterre Why not take continue your journey from Santiago de Compostela to Cape Finisterre on the Atlantic Ocean, known to the Romans as the “End of the World”. Take a day off in Santiago, recharge your battery, then set off to the 0.0km marker at the “End of the World”. We can arrange your return trip.

We strive to offer our clients the best available experience of the Camino and accommodation plays an important part, together with the local food, culture and history. Most Camino itineraries will have a range of levels of accommodation.

When you receive your Camino quotation we include links to visit the hotels websites and get a feel for their quality.

Upgraded hotels are available on roughly 30% of the Camino.

All our accommodations, the owners & staff well known to us. Wherever possible we select small, comfortable, family-run establishments located on or very near to the Camino.

Typical Camino lodgings include a variety of family-run guest houses, historic homes, but mainly one to three-star equivalent pensions, hostals and hotels which all offer private en-suite facilities. These establishments are used almost exclusively by travellers on the Camino.

In the larger Camino centres, we regularly work with the top-end establishments. There are also some opportunities to book upgraded Hotels in rural parts of the Camino.

Sometimes these upgrades require transfers away from the Camino route.

We recommend that you book on a Bed and Breakfast basis. We encourage you to try local eateries offering a wider range of dishes, in the immediate vicinity. It’s also a great time to soak up the local atmosphere, rubbing shoulders with travellers and the local people.

Half Board accommodation is available, including breakfast and dinner of a set 3-course menu in the hotel restaurant.

Our experience is that half board arrangments soon become repetitive, with very similar meal options offered along the route. You will most likely tire quickly of the standard evening fare. You will be glad of the freedom to decide where, what and how much you wish to eat and spend each evening.

You can still enjoy the in-house dinner service without booking half board in advance.

We quote all our journeys with bag transfers as standard.

We heartily recommend that you book your main piece of luggage to be transferred between accommodations. It helps your enjoyment of the Way and keeps unnecessary stress off your back and joints.

We work with dedicated professional companies who do this essential work day in, day out. The system works very well, with bags picked up between 8 and 8:30 am and delivered to the next hotel between 2 and 4 pm.

This daily service is organised so that all you have to worry about is carrying a day sack with your essential items.

If you do wish to carry your own bag that is fine with us. And you can always call us and request to add on the service if you change your mind.

France Guided Tours

Here are some of our favorite guided tours to France.

• Take a guided cycling tour in Bordeaux:  The Bordeaux region of France is known the world over for its wine, its landscapes, and its architecture. All of these things can be better appreciated on two wheels. Thanks to the predominantly flat landscape and the miles of cycle paths, you can follow an expert guide through this beautiful region of France, stopping off at the Cathedrale Saint-Andre and winding around the Garonne River.
• Explore castles in Loire Valley with a guide :  If you love chateaux and castles, the Loire Valley has around 100 kilometers of them to explore. Learn about the different architectural styles and histories of the castles from your expert local guide. You can expect to visit Chateau de Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chateau de Chambord, Chateau de Chenonceau, and many more — some of which you will not be able to get into unless you are on an organized tour. 
• Learn about Normandy’s history on a guided tour:  The Normandy region in the north of France has a history unlike anywhere else. With a knowledgeable guide by your side, you can truly understand and appreciate the culture and history of this region. From being a Viking stronghold to its fractured status following the French revolution to falling under the Nazi occupation during World War II, this region is full of historical sights.

Dating back to the 8 th century, it is now a UNESCO-certified World Heritage Site. Despite the daunting mudflats and powerful tidal waves, this happens to be a very popular location for France tour packages.

French Riviera

Want to taste the high life of the rich and the famous while on France tour packages? Do not miss the opulent French Riviera or Cote d’ Azur. The fame of this location comes from Saint Tropez, Monaco and the Cannes Film Festival. Works of well-known artists like Picasso and Paul Signac are on display in the local art galleries.

Relish this staple during France tour packages.

Here is another typical dish of French origin that you must try during France tour packages. Light and airy, the dessert dates back to the 18 th century. Currently, every patisserie around the world offers soufflé of various flavours. The best variation for this dish is probably a cheese soufflé.

Shallow-fried vegetables layered in a casserole dish are cooked in a tomato sauce with the right spices. The dish tastes delectable when paired with fresh, crusty bread and red wine. Do not miss this iconic dish while enjoying France tour packages.

Tarte Tatin

Take advantage of France tour packages to savour this fruity dessert created by mistake. The story says – hotelier Stephanie Tatin was preparing apples for an apple pie when she left the pieces cooking in butter and sugar for too long. She put the pastry base on the extra caramelised apples and baked them. When served upside down with toppings of syrup, the tart became the signature dish of Hotel Tatin due to its supreme deliciousness. This mistake is worth relishing.

Ski on the french alps.

Visit the Chamonix to try this adventure sport in the breathtaking surroundings of Mont Blanc beneath the highest mountains in The Alps. The lively town offers other activities too for vacationing tourists on France tour packages to enjoy. If skiing is not your sport, consider taking the cable car at 3800 meters height towards Italy.

Book France Tour Packages Now!

Ques: What is the best time to visit France?

Ans: Spring (April-May), Summer (June-August), and autumn (September-October) are the finest times to visit France. The weather in France is pleasant, while there are geographical differences: the south has a Mediterranean climate, while the north, near the English Channel, has wetter weather. The country's majority shuts down in August to chase the sun in the south. Winter is one of our favourite times to visit Paris since fewer tourists and the restaurants are still bustling with people.

Barcelona to Rome

Brilliant trip!.Because Intrepid do small groups we were able to get into the best locally run restaurants and really get to experience life like a local. We traveled by train and got to sit and chat with the locals (even picked up some top tips on where to go out) The tour leader was amazing, his knowledge of the 3 counties visited blew me away. He even booked us tickets to see Santana feat. Dave Matthews on the piano in a 2000yr old amphitheater in Nimes, something I would never had known about on my own. The tour was such a great mix of activities and free time. highly recommend.

From Italy to France with London

A unique experience with many pleasant memories and stories to tell. Our tour guide Orlina was amazing.

Sardinia & Corsica Sailing Adventure

This thril was fantastic, I would highly recommend it. Our skipper Noon was brilliant and made the trip so great. We had a great mix of people on our tour and it was a lot of fun. Noon cooked food for us and that was some of the best Italian food I have ever had. When we were at the harbours he took us to some fantastic restaurants and great little bars. The beaches and swimming spots each day were amazing, there was a lot of swimming and waking up anchored in quiet bays surrounded by islands was so nice. We went to Bonifacio and it was so beautiful there. We had some rough weather during our trip, but Noon chose spot to anchor or habours to stay at that were safe and out of the bad weather. My only slightly negative comments would be about the actual boat. One of the fridges didn’t work for the duration of the trip and the cabin area of the boat wasn’t overly clean when we boarded and wasn’t stocked with linen. Thankfully the next day we had linen supplies to us.

Mont Blanc Highlights

The Mont Blanc Highlights tour that we recently completed in early May 2023 was excellent. The tour guide, Mike, was knowledgeable and put together 5 days of walks that were varied and challenged the group within their limits and within the conditions at the time. As it was the first tour of the season Mike had assessed each walk by doing them prior to the arrival of the group. Each evening he would provide a briefing about the walk the following day and answer all questions. At the end of the 5 days of walking he emailed the group a map and details of each of the walks we had completed - this was appreciated by the group. Chalet Chalupa was comfortable and homely for the week of the stay. The communal areas were quite spacious (for a group of 12) and well equipped. The bedrooms were fine, although the beds would have benefited from a top sheet as we found the duvet tended to be too warm. Helena and Adrian were top hosts. They are both warm, friendly people who welcomed everyone the minute they arrived. Their cooking was delicious and they made every attempt to cope with the various dietary requirements. The bar and snack bar were always well stocked and they purchased additional items if requested by the guests. Their sunny dispositions and positive approach to life made them a pleasure to be around. All in all it was an excellent week and one we would unhesitatingly recommend to others.

Mont Blanc Explorer

It was a great experience with friendly staff, tour guide and great communication prior to the tour. I personally think it should not be rated as a 4 out of 5 in terms of difficulty. It was more like 2.5 out of 5, but obviously that is a subjective experience. The name of the tour can also be a bit misleading as you don't hike Mont Blanc and only hike through the Alps in the French and Italian side, which is absolutely amazing and breath taking, so I suggest changing it to Alps Explore instead of Mont Blanc explore ;) In sum, I recommend it and you will meet fun people to share this experience with.

London to Rome (Start London, 15 Days)

London to Rome was my first Contiki tour and it was awesome! This was definitely in part because of Greg - if I had the chance to choose the tour manager of my next trip, it would be him. He made everyone feel welcome, and always made my day with his jokes. He was consistently organized, and his knowledge of places was astounding.

What people love about France And Italy Tours

TourRadar did a fine job of making the purchase of my Tour du Mont Blanc easy and accurate.

Great week sailing with a fantastic group of solo travellers! Nuncio looked after us all really well and involved us in decisions. A pretty relaxed pace but with opportunity to explore and sight see as well. Would definitely recommend!

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
