VIEW OUR ITINERARY

From Jackie, one of our trusted Travel Consultants:
"France will always be close to my heart – I was born there and grew up surrounded by its culture, history and landscapes. For me, it’s more than a destination; it’s home. That’s why I’m so excited to personally escort this journey and share the side of France that not many travellers get to see. This itinerary blends the best of both worlds – the icons you dream of (Paris, the Riviera, wine regions) and the hidden gems that capture real French life. We’ll stroll fairytale towns, taste our way through markets and bakeries, explore the Alps and watch the sun set over the Mediterranean. These are experiences I know and love and I can’t wait for you to feel like a local, not just a visitor. My fondest memories growing up was in the French Alps and I can promise you the scenery and hospitality there will stay with you long after the trip ends. And don’t worry if you don’t speak French – I’ll be there alongside our expert local guides to make the journey seamless and immersive. This is more than a holiday – it’s an invitation to step into my world and discover the food, wine, culture and charm that make France so unforgettable."
