France

Trip Planning & Itineraries

The French wrote the book on la vie en rose and gave the world champagne and camembert, de Beauvoir and Debussy, the Tour de France and the Tour Eiffel. There's a term for their seductive lifestyle - Douce France (Sweet France) and you'll find yourself using it often.

Although the ubiquity of Levis and Le Big Mac flusters the country's cultural purists, a year in Provence or a weekend in Paris will explain why half the world grows dreamy over stalking Paris's streets or picnicking Manet-style sur l'herbe.

Suggested Itineraries in France

France is a large country and you simply cannot see it all on one trip. The main problem is Paris. It is an incredible city, and we have plenty of tours in Paris to keep you busy for a lifetime. But Paris is not France. Surprisingly few travelers (especially first-time visitors) escape Paris' gravitational pull. But you really must. And we will show you how.

Some people simply cannot tear themselves away from Paris. However there are the must-see sights within 100 kilometers (60 miles) of the City of Lights. Check out our picks below.

Quick Picks: Exploring Around Paris

First up, the magnificent 13th-century cathedral at Chartres famous for its twin spires and for its incredible stained glass. Southeast of Paris, Fontainebleau is a sleepy well-heeled suburb with a blockbuster attraction: the Chateau de Fontainebleau. Last up - if you're a fan of bubbly, consider spending a full day in the Champagne region, including a visit to the Moet and Chandon cellars in Epernay.

Quick Picks: Aquitaine & Bordeaux

Aquitaine & Bordeaux tours and things to do

The region of Aquitaine and the city of Bordeaux hold places of honor for oenophiles (wine lovers). Bordeaux has been synonymous with red wine (few well-known whites are produced here) since the Roman era. Bordeaux is an excellent base for wine tasting and vineyard tours. The 'big three' in Bordeaux are merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.

Quick Picks: Normandy

Normandy tours and day trips to Normandy

When it comes to attractions, Normandy has two claims to fame. Foremost is Mont Saint Michel, a massive abbey complex perched atop a rocky outcrop, alone on an otherwise flat horizon. Normandy's other major attraction are the World War II landing beaches. Viator has private tours to the Normandy landing beaches, as well as tours of Pont du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the Canadian & American cemeteries.
