Exploring France on a cultural tour

Our itineraries feature some of medieval Europe’s finest buildings and most significant power centres, such as the Palais des Papes in Avignon, the Gothic cathedrals of the north and the great hilltop pilgrimage site of Vézelay, and do full justice to an extraordinary legacy of Romanesque churches, from Normandy to Burgundy.

There is walking and wine in Alsace, ballet and arias in Paris and the pity of war along the Western Front. And, providing the backdrop, there is the glorious, unchanging paysage of rural France. From parterres to bomb craters, from amphitheatres to crypts, our experts lead the way.

" Richard Wigmore was delightful company, an encyclopaedic source of music history and an engaging lecturer. " Walking the Rhine Valley - Concerts and hikes through woods, fields and vineyards
" I enjoyed every minute. I was pleased too, that there was time to also explore some of the delightful towns we visited as well as being truly in awe of those wonderful churches and cathedrals. It was very well planned and we covered so much during that memorable week. " French Gothic - The great cathedrals of northern France
" This itinerary was perfect; it took us from the highpoint of Cluny and the Clunyites, to the Cistercians, to the glories of early and High Gothic. Our three stays were in attractive smaller cities. Bus trips could be longish, but were well worth it. " Medieval Burgundy - Abbeys and churches of the high Middle Ages
