- 8 Breakfast (B)
- Discover Paris, Bordeaux, Moissac, Dordogne region, and the Loire Valley
- Visit Palais de la Berbie Gardens & Saint-Cecile Cathedral in Alibi, Lascaux II Preshitoric Caves in Lascaux, and Chateau de Chambord.
- Scenic Drive through the Dordogne and the Loire Valley
- Bordeaux: See Bordeaux’s boulevards, squares and 18th-century architecture on an orientation drive through the city. Set on the Garonne River, Bordeaux has long been shaped by trade and winemaking, with a historic center that reflects its place as one of France’s best-known wine capitals.
- Bordeaux: Explore Bordeaux with a Local Specialist, from Place des Quinconces, one of Europe’s largest public squares, to the Grand Théatre, built in the 18th century. See Place de la Bourse reflected in the Miroir d’Eau, follow the riverfront to medieval Porte Cailhau, then continue through Saint-Pierre Quarter to Bordeaux Cathedral.
- Moissac: Get to know Moissac on an orientation before viewing the UNESCO-listed Abbey of Saint-Pierre, one of the key monastic sites on the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Known for its Romanesque cloister and richly sculpted portal, the abbey reveals the religious importance and artistic legacy that shaped this part of southwestern France.
- Albi: Visit Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, built almost entirely in brick and known as the largest cathedral of its kind in the world. Inside, you’ll see this UNESCO-listed site’s vast scale and decoration reflect the power of the Catholic Church in this part of France, while its fortress-like exterior reveals a very different side of religious architecture.
- Albi: Visit the Palais de la Berbie Gardens, laid out beside the former bishops’ palace high above the Tarn River. As you explore these formal gardens, you’ll see how their design, setting and views connect to the power once held here, with a vantage point that also gives you a wider look at Albi and its historic center.
- Rocamadour: Explore Rocamadour, the UNESCO-listed village built into the cliff above the Alzou Canyon. As you make your way through its steep streets and religious landmarks, you’ll see why this dramatic hillside setting became one of France’s most important pilgrimage sites and remains one of the best-known places in the Dordogne region.
- Sarlat-la-Caneda: Browse Sarlat’s market, where you can see how market shopping still shapes daily life in France. As you move through the stalls, you’ll find local produce and regional specialties sold in the streets and squares of the old town.
- Lascaux: Visit Lascaux II and explore the replica caves created to protect the original prehistoric paintings nearby. As you walk through the chambers, you’ll see the animal figures and Paleolithic art that made Lascaux one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.
- Loire Valley: Travel into the Loire Valley, where the Loire River, vineyard landscapes, historic towns and chateau-lined horizons introduce one of France’s best-known regions. As the scenery changes, you’ll get your first look at the valley that became a center of royal power, architecture and court life.
- Amboise: Join a Local Specialist to discover the design of the Loire Valley’s largest chateau. Built for Francis I from 1519, Chambord brings you into the scale of French Renaissance architecture and the royal ambition behind one of France’s most recognizable chateaus.
- Paris: Join a Local Specialist to discover the hidden squares and secret lanes of Paris.
- Dordogne: Meet the Chambon family at their estate Domaine de Vielcroze in the heart of the Périgord Noir. Hear how they preserve traditional expertise in walnut oil and black truffle cultivation, explore their oil mill, walnut grove and truffle field and learn how to hunt for truffles with the family’s dog. You’ll also sample the estate’s award-winning produce and sit down to a delicious 3-course dinner.
- Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse: Once an agricultural estate, Domaine de Monrecour is now a chateau hotel in Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse. You’ll stay across the chateau and its outbuildings, with 12 hectares of grounds and views towards Chateau des Milandes.
- Amboise: Step into Patisserie Chocolaterie Bigot in Amboise and learn techniques behind French pastry and chocolate-making at a family business founded in 1913. As you discover the skill behind the craft, you’ll get a closer look at how traditional know-how continues to be passed on through generations.
