OUR TOURS TO FRANCE

BEST OF FRANCE in 11 days

When I think of France, my mind always wanders to food!  Those tasty dishes are always accompanied by lots of sauce which have been distilled to a rich and silky essence.  Hence, the name of this tour distills the country down to my top destinations in and around Paris. We’ll begin (and end) with the very best of Paris, and sandwiched in between are some of the premiere sites, food, wine, and experiences in the country: the vineyards and cathedrals of Burgundy, the Loire Valley’s elegant châteaux, Brittany’s quaint villages, Normandy’s magnificent Mont St. Michel, and the D-Day battlefield beaches.

BATTLEFIELDS IN FRANCE & BELGIUM in 13 days

Join a small group of like-minded travelers exploring some of the most historic battlefields in Europe. Over the course of thirteen days, you’ll visit battle sites, memorials, historic towns and villages, and museums and cemeteries related to battles in France and Belgium.  This tour is designed for a focused group of 6-18 people interested in the history of Europe and its ever-changing boundaries shaped by war.  

We believe in small groups, unhurried pace, immersion in local surroundings, and, most importantly, not over-emphasizing any one aspect of the tour.  Many companies are offering “military history” tours where you can spend a week seeing Normandy, or days visiting every foxhole around Bastogne, but in doing so you miss so much of what is around you. On the other hand, we know there are tour companies that only scratch the surface of battlefield events. 

Our philosophy is to offer in-depth visits to premier sites from numerous periods and wars while experiencing other elements of European culture as well.  You’ll learn how champagne is made and even get to taste it.  You’ll spend time exploring fabulous cities like Bruges, Brussels, and Paris, and smaller places like Bastogne and Bayeux, and still get your picture taken with a King Tiger tank.  Overall you will get a good mix of military history, cultural history, and plain old-fashioned sightseeing!
