France

Western Europe · Paris to Provence

Long lunches, lavender, and a country that lingers.

Paris on foot with someone who lives there, a Loire château night, lavender roads through Provence, and a slow finish on the Côte d’Azur.

An introduction

Everyone thinks they have seen France after a weekend in Paris. Our planners spend it the way the French do — a market morning, a two-hour lunch, an afternoon that goes nowhere in particular. The cities are the start, not the trip.
