France is our specialty! Beginning in 2000, our first guided tours of France were to Provence and the Riviera. Our repeat customers, who enjoy our style of travel, asked us to create new tours to different regions. At their request, we have added tours to Languedoc, the French Alps, Southern Brittany with a northern Brittany extension, and now Bordeaux and Beyond.

We love having our repeat travelers return to France with us. Our customers’ ideas and input are valuable in determining where we go and the types of activities we include. We appreciate your encouragement and your loyalty!

Best of France Travels has been offering small group luxury guided tours of France since 2000. We visit lots of out of the way places that are virtually undiscovered by the average tourist. We have developed relationships with locals who are experts in wine, gastronomy, history, and know the secrets such as when the chestnut festival is held, where to hunt for mushrooms, strange and mysterious liqueurs we’ve never heard of, where to get the best oysters, which day the local café meals are prepared by the grand-mere (and therefore the best day to eat there!)…We will share many of these finds with our customers on our tours.
