France Active Tours

From the sunny countryside of Provence to the windswept beaches of Normandy, our biking and walking tours in France are greatly enhanced by all the little things that make travel so vivid. The fresh scent of lavender fields on a long downhill slope. The buttery flavor of a freshly baked pain au chocolat from the village patisserie. And each day will bring unforgettable meals of classic and inventive French fare and earthy, flavorful wines. Vive la France!
