Introduction to France

France welcomes adventurers with open arms — and a long, easy lunch waiting at the end of the day. Spend the morning hiking high above Chamonix or paddling the turquoise water of the Verdon Gorge, the afternoon wandering a village market, and the evening over a glass of something local. Our personalised tours stitch the wild bits and the soulful bits together, so you come home with both stories and very good memories of meals.

Our most recommended places to visit in France

Mont Blanc & Chamonix

Chamonix lies directly under the Mont Blanc glaciers, and the GR5 runs straight through on its way south from Lake Geneva.
See more

French Alps

The GR5 runs the length of the French Alps from Lake Geneva to Nice, and you can walk it stage by stage past the Mont Blanc glaciers, through the Vano
See more

French Basque Country

The Basque Pyrenees are green, steep and lower than the peaks further east, and the GR10 begins here at Hendaye on the Atlantic.
See more

Provence

Provence rewards walkers in spring and autumn, when the limestone is warm rather than scorching.
See more

Corsica

Corsica's west coast gives you the Mare e Monti at its best: red granite villages such as Piana and Ota, the sculpted calanches above the Gulf of Port

Brittany

Brittany's coast path, the GR34 or sentier des douaniers, is the reason to come.

accommodation types

Where you sleep matters. In France that might mean a family-run auberge in a Provençal village, a chalet under the peaks, or a quiet farmhouse on the edge of a vineyard. We pick places with character and a warm welcome — and adapt to whatever feels right for your trip.

Hotel

From design-led boutique stays in Paris and Lyon to small family hotels tucked into Provençal villages, France’s hotel scene is wonderfully varied.

We pick places where the welcome is warm, the breakfast is taken seriously, and the location puts you within easy reach of the next adventure.

Apartment

A self-catered apartment is a brilliant way to live like a local — pop down to the morning market, cook with what’s in season, and come home to your own balcony at the end of a long day.

We work with hand-picked apartments in city centres and quiet hill-towns alike.

Guest house

French chambres d’hôtes are a special kind of stay: a few rooms, breakfast around a shared table, and hosts who really know their corner of the country.

It’s the kind of place where you arrive a guest and leave with restaurant recommendations and a hug.

Campsite

French camping is its own institution — well-run sites near rivers and forests, a pétanque court somewhere near reception, and a bakery van rolling through at 8am.

Whether you bring a tent or fancy a comfy safari lodge, we’ll find the right spot.

FAQs

Old towns, castles, and big history. Also great food, wine, thermal baths, and amazing nature like mountains and lakes. We mix famous highlights with smaller local spots so it feels real.

We offer a range, from stylish boutique hotels to cozy guesthouses and unique stays. We focus on places with good location, comfort, and strong reviews. If you want something special, we can add it.

Rules depend on your passport and the countries you visit. We can share general guidance, but you must check and confirm the latest rules yourself with the official authorities (embassy, consulate, or government site). Do this before booking and again close to departure.

Usually, no special vaccinations are needed for most travelers, but it depends on your situation and route. It’s smart to ask your doctor for up-to-date advice. Also make sure your routine vaccines are current.
