Overview

​

France is a land of timeless beauty — grand cities, medieval villages,

world-famous wines, and countryside that seems unchanged

for centuries.

​

On this 13-day journey, you’ll uncover the best of Bordeaux,

the Dordogne, the Périgord, and the Lot, travelling through regions

where history, gastronomy, and culture blend seamlessly.

​

Designed especially for New Zealand travellers, this itinerary goes

beyond sightseeing.

​

You’ll cycle through UNESCO-listed vineyards, marvel at prehistoric

cave art, taste truffles and fine wines, drift along the Dordogne River,

and explore villages ranked among the “Most Beautiful in France.”

​​

Each day balances guided discovery with time to relax, and each

evening ends in a boutique hotel or château full of character.

​​

More than a holiday, this is a chance to experience the art de vivre

à la française - bustling markets, candlelit dinners, quiet squares,

and warm encounters with locals.

​​

Every detail has been carefully chosen to create not just a trip, but an unforgettable immersion into the real France.
