Our main difference is that we specialize in sightseeing tours in the provinces of France for mini-groups of up to 12 people, which provide the highest level of comfort on a sightseeing trip.

We have a wonderful program on a regular basis "Paris - Normandy - Brittany"(held once every two weeks) "Exclusive trip to Normandy - Brittany"(several a year), great tour (quite rare), and "Colors of Provence" and others interesting tours in the South of France. In our tours you are waiting for the Provinces of France: Normandy, Brittany, Provence, Cote d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon, Aquitaine, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace.

In the South of France, we offer the "Colors of Provence" tour - a region that we know and love well, there is a wonderful exclusive program "Journey through the Southern Provinces of France" for 8 days and its older brother " big Adventure in the Southern Provinces of France + Colors of Provence" for 12 days. This is really a great journey, full of impressions, but not tiring, despite the duration and abundance of visited cities and attractions. Of course, all tours can be combined with an extension of stay in Nice or rest in others resort towns French Riviera.

Perhaps it is worth mentioning another program "Spain - France - Catalonia". It is good to combine it with a holiday on the Spanish Costa Brava.
