Explore Bordeaux's grand boulevards and immersive wine culture at La Cité du Vin before venturing into the countryside of medieval Saint-Émilion, where cobbled streets and vineyard views reveal the enduring heritage of French winemaking. In the Dordogne, storybook villages, hilltop castles, and traces of prehistoric life create one of France's most evocative regions. Enjoy early access to Château de Beynac overlooking the Dordogne River, a private visit to Lascaux IV with its extraordinary cave art recreations, and an exclusive dinner at the museum that brings the experience vividly to life. During a stay in Les Eyzies, dine at Michelin-starred Le 1862 – Les Glycines, where refined seasonal cuisine reflects the depth and character of the region. The journey continues west to the Atlantic coast, where Arcachon's seaside scenery gives way to the elegance of Biarritz and the distinct cultural traditions of the Basque Country. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz and along the coast, colorful harbors, ocean views, and a strong regional identity reveal a France both sophisticated and deeply rooted in place. From Bordeaux's wine heritage to the timeless landscapes of the Dordogne and the relaxed glamour of Biarritz, the memories made along the way are unforgettable.
Map of your 10-day journey
10 days through your journey
Tour begins: 6:30 PM, InterContinental Bordeaux – Le Grand Hôtel by IHG. A transfer is included upon arrival from Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport or Bordeaux-Saint-Jean train station to your hotel. Join us for a welcome dinner.
Discover Bordeaux on a guided exploration through its grand squares and lively streets, where classical design meets contemporary life. The city's limestone façades glow softly in the shifting light, creating a sense of harmony that feels both timeless and alive. A visit to La Cité du Vin offers an engaging, modern perspective on wine as a cultural force – immersive, interactive, and global in scope. The afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy at leisure.
With another day in Bordeaux, the city reveals itself more intimately. Journey into the Médoc for a visit to Château de Kirwan, where a tour, tasting, and picnic lunch offer a deeper connection to the region's celebrated wine culture. Return to Bordeaux for free time and an evening at leisure.
Depart Bordeaux for Saint-Émilion, where medieval streets wind through a landscape shaped as much by time as by tradition. Honey-colored stone buildings rise from the hillsides, and vineyard views stretch outward in soft, rolling lines. After time at leisure, continue into the Dordogne Valley, where the scenery deepens into something more ancient and contemplative – river, cliff, and forest in quiet harmony. Arrive in Les Eyzies, a village set against limestone rock, long considered one of the cradles of early human history. This evening, dine at Le 1862 – Les Glycines, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, where refined, seasonal cuisine reflects the depth and character of the Dordogne.
Tour ends: Hôtel du Palais Biarritz. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from Hôtel du Palais, Biarritz to Biarritz Airport. Allow a minimum of three hours for flight check-in.
