Imagine surrendering to the sumptuous side of Southwest France. We begin our travels in Bordeaux, the heart of a renowned wine-growing region. This beautiful port city on the Garonne River has it all—Gothic Cathedrals, a Beaux Arts museum, public gardens the fill the river’s curves, and a Grand Palace. Its Bayonne ham, oysters at the seashore, and unrivalled vineyards are an ideal beginning to your Southwest France odyssey.
From Bordeaux, we head to Biarritz, a Basque town French Royalty has enjoyed for centuries. Next, we travel to mythic Lourdes, place of pilgrimage and healing. From there, into the glorious Pyrenees, we come upon Prehistoric Lascaux Cave, site of magical thinking, art, and ceremonies. Atmospheric castles dot our mountain paths to the medieval town of Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, made for exploration. Onward to Albi, another UNESCO gem, and then to Sarlat with its indoor food market and stunning views. This tour is designed to fuel your senses!
