Take a sneak peek at some of the destinations on offer – which one takes your fancy?
DISCOVER AUTHENTIC ALSACE
Charming and gourmand….
Everyone knows the name “Alsace”, but do they really know the true Alsace? This region that borders Germany and Switzerland is best known for the wine road, but we want to guide you off the tourist trail to authentic Alsace. Let us lead you away from the beaten track to this region of prairies, vineyards, mountains, towns, and villages that deserve so much more than commercial tourism can offer.
Gastronomy is everywhere, from the local boulangerie to the Michelin star restaurant. And tradition is truly alive here, the locals have lovingly preserved their strong cultural identity. Follow us down the unknown paths to discover the Alsatian’s’ Alsace! Learn about how they bake their traditional Christmas biscuits from local ingredients or head to the market to taste the homegrown produce.
We’ll show you the essence of life on the Rhine with the joys of cultures either side of the borders.
STROLL FROM BUGEY TO BEAUJOLAIS
The gastronomic heartland of France
Vineyards, local produce, and a history of gastronomy. This is where the majority of French Michelin star chefs discovered and honed their gifts.
Not just world-renown restaurants, you will also experience the art of eating well day to day. Fresh outdoor markets with top rated butchers and enticing shopfronts filled with local produce. We might know Beaujolais for its wine, but it offers treasures across the whole food and drink spectrum!
As well as food, explore the cultural treasures dotted across the stunning scenery from abbeys to chateaux to villages made up of every shade of white red and golden stone. From the melancholic magic of The Dombes to the Beaujolais mountains, the meandering River Rhône to the secrets of Bugey, you’re bound to be seduced by the region!
DISCOVER BURGUNDY
FROM CHATEAUX TO ABBEYS
Allow us to tell you the story of La Bourgogne beyond the vineyards – it is so much more than just its world-famous wine. This former Duchy – just as rich, powerful and luxurious as a Kingdom – is guaranteed to tempt you with its mysticism and history.
Burgundy is a world of its own: there’s the Morvan region, misty and wild; charming Brionnais dotted with churches; valleys with a scattering of chateaux amongst the deep forests and lakes; the bustling charm of vibrant towns built on ancient religious heritage…
Celts, monks, and greats of the French literary heritage have left their mark here amongst the depth of its long history and layered natural landscape. This thrilling labyrinth of history, beauty, magic and culture teaches us the art of the French “bien-vivre”!
DISCOVER FRANCHE-COMTÉ
A wild, wonderful and warm world of its own
Known as “French Canada” this lush, green landscape with its pastures and plateaux is an undiscovered gem even for the French. It has so much to offer from Nordic cross-country skiing to perusing the cantor (?) spires and characteristic architecture of its villages.
You can, of course, also enjoy the delicious cheeses of the area, such as the iconic comté.
Neighbouring Switzerland, it shares some of its climate, ideal for those who enjoy a fresher, milder holiday, and its cultural richness, including watchmaking craftmanship.
For those with a more adventurous streak, take on the outdoor activities and see if you can spot the native lynx while you’re at it!
