Best of France Tour

Best of France Tour is the perfect way for value-minded travellers to see the highlights of the Loire Valley and Normandy. Beautiful scenery combined with famous landmarks and fascinating history sum up this 6-day guided tour. We fill your tour of France with the many highlights of this country, taking in the soaring 8th century church of Mont St. Michel and saving time for the authentic scents at Fragonard Parfumerie. 

Fragrant gardens and aromatic wines are just the beginning of the sweet experiences that await from the City of Light to the sunlit regions of Normandy, and the Loire Valley. Tiptoe through the tulips at Claude Monet’s rainbow-colored gardens, float down the castle hallways in dreamy Châteaux country, and swirl and sip your way from the lively cafés of Paris to the storied wineries of the French countryside. Traveling from the Seine to the sea, we’ve handpicked the best coastal experiences—the resort town of Deauville, the famous Abbey of Mont St. Michel, and the poignant beaches of Normandy, site of the Allied Forces’ D-Day invasions during World War II.

The day we visited Mont Saint Michel was truly amazing—an experience I will never forget. Although the tour was a bit tiring, especially since I’m over 65 and found it hard to keep up with the pace at times, it was all worth it. Eskapas did a great job organizing everything, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out!
