France off the beaten path

..Why settle for the usual?

Wide choice of settings for your next adventure holiday

France’s diverse regions offer a wide choice of settings for your next adventure holiday.

Some visitors seek a physical challenge, some to get back in touch with nature, others simply a scenic vista to relax and unwind. We work hand in hand with you to design an exciting and inspiring getaway. We love creating new experiences and surprising our clients– and your sense of adventure inspires our creativity. We will help you discover France off the beaten path through authentic, unusual and remarkable experiences.

To start off, it’s time to choose a region to focus on. Which one inspires you the most? The Luberon in Provence, with its striking ochre landscapes, or awe-inspiring fields of lavender there? The grand snow-capped mountains of the Pyrenees National Park? Brittany’s savage coastline? Wild birds wheeling over rushing rivers in the Loire Valley? The awesome beauty of the Dune de Pilat and the Arcachon Basin? As a first step, explore France’s diverse regions and settle for one, two or three to focus on as part of your bespoke adventure.

Forever in search of something new, I love wandering through France to uncover hidden treasures. Epicurian by nature, I am enthralled by culture in every form, wine (with a special affinity for those from Bourgogne and Rhone valley), gastronomy and anything out of the ordinary.

Numerous activities and authentic French experiences

Next, decide on some extraordinary activities to add to your bespoke itinerary. Gain a bird’s-eye view from a hot air balloon ride or ULM (microlight aircraft); explore France’s diverse waterways by kayak or on a luxury barge; take yourself back into the past in a vintage 2CV car, or speed down snowy hills on a dogsled. Even seeing unusual and little-known places in Paris can feel quite adventurous. There are so many ways to enjoy France: the sky’s the limit!

Keeping Exclusive France Tours’s philosophy, your adventure will always be led by a local expert. Their expertise, passion and insight into local customs will greatly enrich your experience. They will share their favourite places that are often well-hidden from tourists: the best places to view local wildlife, the best café or bistrot, the best market: all slices of authentic French life. With their guidance, you’ll see and live France from an insider’s perspective.

What do people say?

Used in the proposal of Mont-Michel. Marie-San from exclusive France tours has been very kind from her first contact, she was flexible on the schedule and the budget to best meet my requirements. In the preparation phase, we were able to communicate with you immediately by phone and email despite the 7-hour time difference. Mrs. Christèle, our guide, and the photographer Mrs Pauline were also professional and very kind, and I was able to make a proposal that was very satisfying as a result. If you would like to succeed in the proposal during a trip in France, we recommend exclusive France tours.

Marie Tesson listens, internalizes what she’s heard, crafts well-thought out itineraries, isn’t afraid to suggest alternatives, and communicates earnestly with her clients. For our ‘Tour de France’, she has consistently gone beyond my expectations and I rate her new baby, Exclusive France Tours, a 10 out of 10.
