All French regions

Alsace

Famous for its Christmas markets, the Alsace region will charm you at any time of the year with its colorful half-timbered towns, its vineyards and amazing gastronomy.

Basque Country

A beacon of beauty, the Basque Region captivates all who visit. Every landscape is like a postcard, from the dramatic cliffs to the sandy beaches of the Bay of Biscay. In just one hour on your Basque Country self driving tour, you can go from the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains to the Atlantic Coastline.

Bordeaux

A UNESCO city with beautiful paved streets, Bordeaux will delight your senses with its world famous vineyards and oysters at Arcachon Bay.

Brittany

An amazing coastline, lovely fishing ports, granite manors... a nice breeze of fresh air? You might be ready for Brittany

Burgundy

Famous for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, Burgundy houses some of the most celebrated vineyards in the world

Carcassonne

Medieval Carcassonne is probably the most impressive fortified medieval town to be found.

Champagne

Ah la Champagne…. do we need to say more?

Well... Taittinger, Dom Perignon, Laurent Perrier, Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Moët & Chandon... more, you say? Then you need to come and visit Champagne!

Dordogne

Our self-drive tours in Dordogne include visits to medieval towns, impressive fortresses perched above the Dordogne river, and prehistoric painted caves.

Loire Valley

A gentle climate, a flavorful local cuisine and delicious wines, and the hearty welcome of Touraine people will make your Loire Valley driving tour very special.

Lyon

The gastronomic capital of France, the city of Lyon is also an open history book. Each of Lyon’s neighborhoods are very different and we think you'll love discovering this dynamic city on one of our tours in Lyon.

Lille & North

Although not the first place visitors think of when traveling to France, Lille and Northern France provide interesting places, good food and a unique ambiance for those willing to adventure North . . .

Paris

Known throughout the world as the "City of Light", Paris is celebrated for its beautiful city plan, its architecture, museums, flea markets and sidewalk cafés.

Provence

Feel the warm breeze carrying scents of lavender; sit at a bistro terrace at sunset, lulled by the song of the cicada; stroll through some of the most beautiful villages in France

Somme

North of Paris, the Somme region is at the crossroads between Flanders and Paris, the capital of France. During World War I, the Somme region was turned into battlefields, which are moving and interesting to visit. In addition, the town of Amiens, with its amazing Cathedral and the Hortillonages (floating gardens); is a good base to explore the area and enjoy the local cuisine.

 

Verdun

Located at the crossroad of France, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium, Verdun region has always been a strategic area. 

Visit the World War I battlefields in Argonne, Verdun and St Mihiel and be amazed by the rich history of the Verdun region.

We had a wonderful experience with Laura and Emilie- they were very responsive to all of our questions and needs and helped us plan a fabulous trip! While we were there, they were also very helpful when we needed assistance with reservations or had questions about processes during COVID.

I can't say enough good things about Emilie and France Just For You! From start to finish, Emilie was responsive, listened to our requests (and changes) and planned a wonderful trip for our 20th Anniversary. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed and everything was perfect. We will definitely use them again our our next adventure.
Ellen & Ray
This was the best trip to France we have ever been on! It was the second trip that Emilie and Laura at France Just for You set up for us. The first was a trip around Provence, which we loved so much that we asked them to set up our second trip to the Loire Valley, Normandy, and Paris. Both trips were tailored to our interests - food, wine, art …
