Ahhhh...get your tastebuds ready for our Basque Country tour that takes off next July! Spaces are filling up quickly!

The Basque Country of France is that it is home to the unique Basque language, Euskara, which is unlike any other language in the world. Unlike most languages in Europe, Euskara is not related to any Indo-European language family. Its origins are still a mystery, and it is considered one of the oldest languages in Europe. The language is a crucial part of Basque identity and culture, and efforts to promote and preserve it are strong in both the French and Spanish Basque regions.

Join us next summer in the Basque country! Check out our webpage!

Did you know that Bayonne is known as the "Capital of Chocolate" in France. The city's love affair with chocolate dates back to the 17th century when Jewish immigrants from Spain brought their chocolate-making skills to the region. Today, Bayonne is famous for its artisanal chocolate shops and hosts an annual chocolate festival called "Fête du Chocolat," celebrating this rich history.

Stagiaires from our Dijon trip- who can forget our magnificent guide, Sylvain, and his magnificent recounting of the story of Vercingétorix? TV5 Monde USA is playing a recent documentary on their show "Secrets d'Histoire" called "Vercingétorix: le premier des Gaulois" on their TV5 Style channel available on Sling TV.

We will never forget our faithful bus driver, lead by Sylvain, climbing higher and higher to the summit at Alésia to bring us to this monument!

Merci, Sylvain, pour les beaux souvenirs!

One of the many thrills for our tours is the free time we allow our travelers to discover corners of the city on their own. This summer in Dijon was no exception. Check out these pâtisseries. We can confirm that the 1 (or 2!) that we tasted were out of this world.

Nothing quite like a stroll along la Seine...know as the mirror of Paris. Join us this holiday season!

Not everyone needs a good head on their shoulders to be iconic. For the rest of us, there's the enlightenment that comes with a visit to the Louvre.

If you're like us, all of those beautiful shots of Paris during the Olympics really made us want to take a stroll on the Pont Alexandre III. We can almost taste the macarons!

On many of your bucket lists is no doubt the city of Biarritz! We’ll spend an afternoon there. It's home to surfers, beach lovers, casino gamblers, and favorite city of Napoléon III and Eugénie, who built the stunning Résidence Impériale.

Check out next year's stage!

La coquille s’est imposée comme emblème de tous les pèlerins

One of our excursions we're most excited about is a visit to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. It's the beautiful hill town of the area and it's not only a stopover for pilgrims on the chemin de St-Jacques but the location of the famous battle at Roncevaux which is so well recounted in the 12th c. Chanson de Roland.

Yes, it's la rentrée, but think about joining us next summer in the Basque country!

Everyone can probably agree that last night's opening ceremony of the Jeux Olympiques demonstrated the immense beauty and the fascinating history that is France.

20/07/2024

The journey comes to an end after our extension trip to Besançon. We took a regional train into the city and spent the morning on a walking tour. Then we dined at the opulent Bouillon du Commerce.

19/07/2024

Mais c'est pas possible! Our final dinner is here! The last 10 days have been nothing short of magnifique! Un grand merci à notre intervenant Bertrand et notre guide Sylvain. Et les stagiaires aimeraient aussi dire un grand merci à notre leader Valerie qui a créé un programme inoubliable !

Today stagiaires have a free morning. Some are completing some last minute mustard purchases, some are enjoying la piscine, and others are out seeing every last thing that they can. We highly recommend le Musée Rude. It's a small, beautiful museum in a lovely setting...and it's free!
