Over the last year France-The French Way has taken some memorable tours through France and elsewhere in Europe. I have lead groups of people through Paris, Provence, and the Riviera, as well as northern Italy, ending in Dubrovnik in Croatia. You can even read about some of my feelings of these places on The French Way Blog - The Seduction of Perfection/ and The French Way Blog - Celebration of the Arts Tour 2010!

My groups I prefer to be small – from 6 to 8 persons. I have never been a great fan of the classic “group tour” mentality, and as a result strive to put together a programme which is very personable, and most of all fun! I think it is important that people see less, but see it better. I want people to meet French people and experience their lifestyles, as well as experiencing their history. I also want people to have time out, and the opportunity to relax as well - there’s no point if you need a holiday at the end of the trip!! Don’t be surprised if I get you out walking in the hills, canoeing along rivers, boating on the Mediterranean, or tasting food in a chef’s kitchen. To think that you can do all this, as well as being looked after by a knowledgeable and personable guide! I am passionate about giving you the “time of your life”. It is not so much a case of making sure you see the tourist destinations as detailed by tour books, but encouraging you to open your eyes to see and sense the world around you. Sometimes I even change the itinerary so that we can include things that might specifically interest you!

Since 1993 I have been taking escorted tours through France. Over the years I have developed a depth of knowledge that is difficult to equal, and I love being able to share this and the country I love so much with my travellers. I hope that I may be able to help you see France in the future, and see France - The French Way!
