PROVENCE
They call this the land of sunshine. It is here that the hands of the clock slow down to that of another era, and purple fields of Lavender surround stone cottages and tiny medieval villages sit atop the hillside. Of all the regions in France, Provence remains the only one that enjoys a full 300 days of bright sunshine. With that, brings kilometers of olive groves, fruits orchards, wild herbs, fragrant fields of lavender, and most importantly vineyards.

BRITTANY
A land of two cultures, where the inhabitants are first “Breton” and then French. A place of beautiful rolling hills, lush vegetation and the strong influence of the sea. There is much to do on this enormous peninsula, everything from scuba diving and island hopping to cider tasting and horseback riding. This part of France is rich in celtic culture and history. One could spend months exploring all of Brittany’s citadels and fortified villages, megaliths, calvaries and islands. Whether you want a month or a few days here, we propose you do it with us, in the lap of luxury.

BURGUNDY
This is wine country at it’s best as the wine growing culture that makes this region thrive is centuries old! Start by the gorgeous city of Auxerre and make your way down through Dijon and eventually to Beaune and the Cote d’Or (Golden Hillside), all the way to the rolling hills of Beaujolais. Sample wines in the vineyards, or descend underground to see the wine tunnels that go on forever in order to store these precious bottles. Taste cheese made by monks, visit the Hospice de Beaune, and many of the quaint little villages that dot the region and are immersed in the surrounding vineyards. Talk with a local viticulteur about his age-old wine making, bike on one of the quite roads on route to see 10 th century chateau. Then, at the end of an adventurous day, sleep in a 12th century Abbaye but first feast as a duc would have at a 3 star Michelin restaurant. In Burgundy, old France is alive and well and waiting for you to discover it.

THE LOIRE
The Loire is mostly known for its world famous grand Renaissance castles, which are so abundant that they nearly overlap as they cover the region. However, it is also a nature lover’s paradise and is a fantastic place for all levels of hiking and biking.

As there is so much to do and discover in the Loire, trips here are great for all ages.
