Our Tours In France
France
France's charms are manifest, whether it is the chic boulevards of Paris, the sparkling ski slopes of the Alps, sunlit vineyards and sun-baked beaches, a dusty game of boules, or coffee and croissants in an undiscovered village. Or perhaps a tour of the majestic chateaux of the Loire, the glamorous jet-set lifestyle of the Mediterranean, or a relaxing picnic in Provence, where the air is fragrant with wild herbs and lavender? Consider also the delights of other lesser-known regions such as Perigord, Armagnac, Gascony or Berry, deep in the green heart of France - regions firmly rooted to the land, whose sleepy villages offer visitors a chance to sample life in provincial France, and the unspoilt and rugged atmosphere of the Pay Basque in the south with the border of Spain. In the mother country of the 'randonnée', the riding tour, as it was first defined, we offer riding holidays par excellence. An extraordinary network of cross country trails in France offers endless riding opportunities from Paris to the most remote backcountry. Our tours focus on relaxation, fun and culture. And do we need to mention the meals, breads and wines? Come try for yourself and see why the French cuisine makes grown men weep. We travel in style with overnights in cozy country inns and picturesque castles.

These trips show you France's most beautiful and best known side. Ride through beautiful landscapes decorated with little asphalt roads, abundant culture, impressive architecture, and good food in both picnic lunches and carefully chosen guesthouses. You will stay overnight in typical, comfortable hotels, inns, and private castles. In addition to our longstanding tour "Castles of the Loire", we now offer the tour of the Bordeaux Castles. This is the regions of famous wines such as like Lafite, Latour, Mouton, and Margaux. The wineries in the Medoc region provide the frame of this winery-tour in the Bordeaux area, offering many opportunities to taste these delectable wine in some very famous cellars. This is a riding tour for lovers of French culture. On the Castles of Perigord trip you will visit some of the 1200 castles located only in the area Lot & Dordogne. This is where the "Perigord Noir", the black Perigord, received its moniker from the spacious, dark oak forests. Who wouldn't want a castle between the lovely rivers Dordogne and Végère? This is France out of a picture book. In addition to wine, you will become familiar with the cuisine of the region including goose liver paté, cheese of Rocamadour and, of course, the wines of the Cahors.
