escorted active gourmet adventures

Join us on an escorted journey in:

France

Provence/Vaucluse

Crossed by the valley of the Rhône and dominated by Mont Ventoux, it's a land of villages perched in craggy landscapes, with fertile valleys rich with truffles, lavender, honey and wonderful wines, like Côtes-du-Rhône and Chateauneuf-du-Pape - we'll savour them all!

Exploring St-Rémy-de-Provence

Relax and re-charge. Breathe in the glorious scents of the garrigue from our mas (restored farmhouse), just outside the beloved town of St Rémy.

From our base, make daily outings to explore bustling settlements, the formidable Les Baux, olive oil mills and wineries. Glide below the audacious Pont du Gard in a kayak......

The Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France', is renowned for its wines, cheeses, fruit and early vegetables. With meandering rivers, lush green vineyards, fields of sunflowers and poppies, charming villages and picturesque towns, it's one of the most appealing regions in France.

The Bordelais / Gironde

The area in SW France near Bordeaux, is a mellow land of plenty - famed wines, compelling foods and a wide variety of interesting and hospitable people.

Brittany/Normandy

Travel the smugglers' cliff top paths, search the forests for traces of King Arthur and Merlin the magician. Follow old railway lines and canal paths into medieval towns. Enjoy the outstanding produce of both land and sea!
