Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henri II, made her mark on the Chateau, transforming it and adding the arched bridge that gracefully traverses the River Cher. However, upon the king's demise, ownership shifted to Catherine de Medici, who expelled Diane de Poitiers. </p><p>During Catherine de Medici's tenure, the Chateau underwent extensive renovations and embellishments, and became renowned for hosting lavish nighttime festivities. In 1560, the first fireworks display in France dazzled the skies above this very site.</p><p>Following Catherine de Medici's passing, the Chateau changed hands multiple times, including ownership by Louise Dupin, famed for hosting a prominent literary salon frequented by luminaries like Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, and Marivaux. The esteemed philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau served as Louise Dupin's secretary and tutored her son.</p><p>In more recent history, the castle was acquired in 1913 by the Menier family, renowned chocolatiers, who continue to cherish and preserve the Chateau de Chenonceau to this day.</p><p>Upon your arrival at Chenonceau castle, immerse yourself in a guided tour that unveils a captivating collection of furniture, tapestries, and paintings, including masterpieces by Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, Van Dyck, and more. Explore the castle's highlights, such as Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, the Green Study, the Gallery, and the kitchens. After the guided visit, you'll have free time to wander through the enchanting gardens.</p><p><b>Free time for lunch (at own expense)</b></p><p>After your morning visit, your guide will take you to a charming village in the surrounding area where you will have time for lunch (at own expense). Your guide will be happy to make recommendations depending on the type of meal you are looking for. </p><p><b>Afternoon </b><b>Guided Exploration of Chambord Castle</b></p><p>After lunch, venture to Château de Chambord, our second stop on this Loire Valley castle tour. Regarded as one of the most magnificent chateaux in the region, Chambord awaits your discovery. Enjoy a scenic drive of approximately one hour, arriving at the breathtaking Château de Chambord. This UNESCO World Heritage site has captivated visitors for centuries.</p><p>Nestled in the heart of the Sologne region, Chateau de Chambord was commissioned by King Francis I (François Ier) in the early 16th century as a hunting lodge. It was never intended as a permanent residence, but rather a grand showcase of the king's power, designed to impress foreign visitors and ambassadors. The castle's architecture exemplifies the Italian Renaissance style favored during that era.</p><p>The castle features a central keep with four imposing bastion towers at each corner. With over 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases, Chambord is a testament to architectural grandeur. Its central axis boasts the famous double helix staircase, believed to be inspired by the ingenious mind of Leonardo da Vinci. Ascending three floors, the two helices never intersect, with natural light illuminating their ascent from a lighthouse-like structure atop the castle. </p><p>Don't miss the ornate roof, a distinctive feature that sets Château de Chambord apart. Take a stroll along the top level, marveling at the meticulous masonry work and enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding area.</p><p>Interestingly, King Francis I never witnessed the completion of the castle. It was under the reign of King Louis XIV (the Sun King) that Château de Chambord reached its full splendor. Maintaining such a colossal structure proved challenging over the years, and after passing through various private hands, the French State became the sole owner in 1930.</p><p>Upon arrival, follow your expert guide on a captivating tour of the castle. Lasting approximately 1.5 hours, the tour will lead you through the main rooms, unveil the iconic double spiral staircase, and ascend to the terraces for breathtaking vistas. Afterward, enjoy some free time to further explore the wonders of Château de Chambord at your own pace.</p><p>As the tour concludes, we'll return to Tours, leaving you with lasting memories of the remarkable Chateau de Chenonceau & Chambord and their storied past.</p>

This bespoke excursion is tailored to appeal to a discerning audience, from the culturally curious adventurers to high-profile couples in search of an immersive exploration of Alsace's unparalleled heritage.</p><p><b>Elegant Beginnings: A Personalized Welcome</b></p><p>Your journey into the heart of Alsace begins with a warm reception from our professional, English-speaking guides, identifiable by their elegant signage featuring the tour's name and the distinguished Ophorus logo, along with personalized badges for effortless recognition. </p><p>These experts are more than guides; they are custodians of Alsace's stories, eager to share with you the intricate tapestry of the region's history and culture. As you settle into our premium, air-conditioned vehicles—outfitted with an onboard P/A system for lucid storytelling.</p><p><b>The Alsace Wine Route: A Historical Voyage</b></p><p>Your adventure unfolds along the storied Alsace Wine Route, a pathway that has linked vineyards and villages for centuries. This scenic trail stretches over 170km, serving as the backbone of Alsace's wine legacy, with more than 1000 vintners crafting exquisite white wines in the shadow of ancient castles and Renaissance edifices. This route is not merely a road; it's a voyage through history, where each bend reveals stories of winemaking traditions passed down through generations.</p><p><b>Barr: A Village Carved from History and Wine</b></p><p>The village of Barr, nestled in the embrace of vine-clad hills near Obernai, epitomizes the Alsace wine culture. Its vineyards, a source of the region’s acclaimed Sylvaner, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer, surround an architectural heritage that tells of centuries past. The town hall and the ‘Marco Folie’ house, now a beacon of history as a museum, stand as testament to Barr’s storied past, inviting you to delve into the narrative of Alsace’s architectural evolution and vinicultural excellence.</p><p><b>Mittelbergheim: An Ode to Wine and Tradition</b></p><p>Journey to Mittlebergheim, a village where wine is the lifeblood, nestled at Mont Saint-Odile’s base. Here, the Zotzenberg grand cru reigns supreme, its presence felt in the large courtyards of wine growers' homes and the invaluable “Weinschlag” collection. Housed within the village's Renaissance town hall, this collection offers a window into centuries of viticulture, encapsulating the spirit and dedication of Alsace’s wine artisans since 1510.</p><p><b>Andlau: Where History Echoes Among Ancient Stones</b></p><p>The tour’s crescendo is the picturesque town of Andlau, a place where every stone tells a story. The Saint Peter - Saint Paul Abbatial Church, with origins tracing back to the 9th century, bears the scars and triumphs of its long history. Despite the devastations of fire and time, the church stands majestic, its Romanesque sculptures and historiated frieze a silent testament to the artistic and spiritual legacy that has permeated Andlau for centuries.</p><p>Our half-day tour from Strasbourg is an invitation to step beyond the veil of time, into the heart of Alsace’s villages, each a chapter in the region's rich historical and cultural narrative. Book your journey with us and be prepared to be transported to an era where history and heritage shape the very essence of life.

Known as the "Chateau des Dames," this iconic bridge spanning the Cher River enchants visitors with its rich history and Renaissance gardens, once graced by remarkable female figures such as Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici.</p><p>Originally dating back to the 13th century, the Chateau suffered destruction by fire before being rebuilt and eventually acquired by King Francis I to settle a debt. Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henri II, made her mark on the Chateau, transforming it and adding the arched bridge that gracefully traverses the River Cher. However, upon the king's demise, ownership shifted to Catherine de Medici, who expelled Diane de Poitiers.</p><p>During Catherine de Medici's tenure, the Chateau underwent extensive renovations and embellishments, and became renowned for hosting lavish nighttime festivities. In 1560, the first fireworks display in France dazzled the skies above this very site.</p><p>Following Catherine de Medici's passing, the Chateau changed hands multiple times, including ownership by Louise Dupin, famed for hosting a prominent literary salon frequented by luminaries like Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, and Marivaux. The esteemed philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau served as Louise Dupin's secretary and tutored her son.</p><p>In more recent history, the castle was acquired in 1913 by the Menier family, renowned chocolatiers, who continue to cherish and preserve the Chateau de Chenonceau to this day.</p><p>Upon your arrival at Chenonceau castle, immerse yourself in a guided tour that unveils a captivating collection of furniture, tapestries, and paintings, including masterpieces by Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, Van Dyck, and more. Explore the castle's highlights, such as Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, the Green Study, the Gallery, and the kitchens. After the guided visit, you'll have free time to wander through the enchanting gardens.</p><p>As the tour concludes, we'll return to Tours, leaving you with lasting memories of the remarkable Chateau de Chenonceau and its storied past.</p><p>Don't miss the opportunity to delve into the allure of Chateau de Chenonceau on our expert-guided tour.

[durationMinutes] => 540
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => The Essential One Day Experience of Alsace. A private full day trip from Strasbourg that includes a Walking tour of Colmar, follow the Alsace wine trail, visit Eguisheim & Riquewihr villages and Haut Koenigsbourg Castle.
[description] => <p><b>Private Sightseeing Excursion through the Alsace region</b></p><p>This highly recommended full day tour has been carefully designed for travelers that wish to get the most out of their stay here in Alsace. The Pearls of Alsace tour combines what we believe are the most essential visits that one must make while in the region. It includes the visits of towns, monuments, small traditional villages and historical landmarks.</p><p>In the morning we will come and pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Strasbourg. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the program and itinerary of the day with you. Then board your air conditioned vehicle and depart for a full day tour that includes the highlights of the Alsace region.</p><p><b>Discover exquisite Colmar</b></p><p>First, make your way to the beautiful town of Colmar. Upon arrival, follow your guide on a walking tour of one of the most beautiful small towns of France. Discover the charm of the old town, its prestigious monuments, the Pfister house, the Koïfhus, Saint Martin collegiate church, and the picturesque neighborhoods of small Venice or of the tanners.</p><p><b>Visit Eguisheim village</b></p><p>Then depart for the most beautiful village of Eguisheim, located on the Alsace wine route. Surrounded by vineyards, the narrow and concentric streets highlight the architectural merits of its half-timbered houses, lovingly decorated with flowers. After a walk in the village your tour then continues on to the beautiful town of Riquewihr. </p><p><b>Visit Riquewihr and time for lunch</b></p><p>Surrounded by ramparts, the village has been very fortunate to survive war and destruction. Its tiny streets, fortified walls and old houses have preserved their 16C splendor virtually intact, making for remarkable architectural harmony. Free time for personal discovery and lunch.</p><p><b>Enjoy great Panoramic Views along the Alsace Wine Route</b></p><p>Located between the Rhine valley and the Vosges mountain range, the 60 year old route winds across the slopes for more than 170 kms. The itinerary leads across rows of undulating, vine covered hills, and through quaint villages with narrow streets and charming flower decked houses clustered around the local church steeple.</p><p><b>Visit the Mighty Castle of Haut Koenigsbourg</b></p><p>Finally, reach Haut Koenigsbourg castle. Here, follow your excellent guide for a tour of this mighty fortress that overlooks the valley. Built in the 12th century, the Castle occupied a strategic position controlling the wine and wheat routes to the North and the salt route that came from the East. After the visit, return to Strasbourg.</p><p>Please note that as this is a private tour, it is possible for your guide to organize a wine tasting session during the day if you would like to taste some of the local Alsace white wines.</p><p> </p>

Divided into several sectors of the charming little town of Dambach la Ville, this Grand Cru is characterized by a complex geological substratum, combining granite on its upper parts with shelly limestone, with sandstone lower down.</p><p>Depending on availability, it will also be the moment to discover biodynamic winemaking (a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming, but which includes various esoteric concepts) in wineries such as Domaine Schaeffer Woerly or Beck-Hartweg.</p><p><b>Try the Unique Muscats of Alsace & Taste the Local Gewurztraminer</b></p><p>Finally reach the southern part of the Alsace wine route near Ribeauvillé and discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Altenberg, Kanzlerberg, Osterbrg. It is in this part of the wine region that you will discover local Muscat. Alsace Muscat is distinguished from the sweet Muscats of the South of France by its dry character. </p><p>Extremely aromatic, it expresses wonderful flavors of fresh fruit. We will also have you taste some exceptional Gewürztraminers that originate from local Grand Crus. These are full-bodied wine, with solid structure and a round fullness. In tasting these wines, one rediscovers the complete aromatic palette, often with the addition of licorice.</p><p>Harvested very ripe, “late harvest” and “Selection de Grains Nobles” Gewurztraminer ranging from sweet to viscous, possess exceptional richness and extraordinary aromatic complexity. </p><p>Return to Strasbourg after the final tasting.</p>

[name] => Alsace Grands Crus Wines from Colmar: A Private Signature Tasting Tour
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => Sample Famed and Delicious Wines as you follow the Picturesque Alsace Wine Route. This small group private Alsace Grands Crus Wine Tour will have you taste delicious Alsace white wines including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat or Sylvaner.
[description] => <p><b>Indulge in a Memorable Full-Day Alsace Wine Tour from Colmar</b></p><p>Experience the beauty of the Alsace wine region with our private full-day tour, starting with a convenient pickup from your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Colmar. Meet our knowledgeable English-speaking driver guide, who will provide you with a detailed program and itinerary for the day. </p><p>Once aboard our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, we'll set off on a journey through the enchanting Alsace vineyards.</p><p><b>Discover the Exquisite Grands Crus Wines of Alsace</b></p><p>Alsace is renowned for its exceptional wines, particularly the Grands Crus. These prestigious wines have been classified since 1975, featuring 51 designated areas that meet stringent geological and climatic criteria. </p><p>The Alsace Grand Cru appellation represents the pinnacle of quality, with limited terroirs, low yields, and specific vineyard practices ensuring expressive and authentic wines. These extraordinary vineyards range in size from 3 to 80 hectares. Only four grape varieties are used to produce Alsace Grands Crus wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat (Alsace variety). Immerse yourself in the world of these unique Grands Crus wines during an exceptional day in the Alsace wine region.</p><p>Our thoughtfully crafted full-day wine tour offers you the privilege of tasting some of the finest Alsace white wines. The journey begins in the Ribeauvillé wine-producing region, where you'll savor fabulous Rieslings from the Kirchberg, Geisberg, and Osterberg Grands Crus, known for their mineral character. Ribeauvillé wines often boast higher mineral content compared to other Grand Cru Rieslings, reaching up to 2.5 g solids per liter. Notable wine producers such as Trimbach or Louis Sipp contribute to the excellence of these Grands Crus.</p><p>Next, we'll venture to the unique and lesser-known Kaefferkopf Grand Cru, nestled in the charming town of Ammerschwihr. This Grand Cru stands out with its complex geological composition, blending granite, shelly limestone, and sandstone. Depending on availability, we may also explore biodynamic winemaking at renowned wineries like Domaine de Weinbach or Domaine JB Adam, offering a glimpse into alternative agriculture practices.</p><p>In the southern part of the Alsace wine route, you'll discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Steinart, Goldert, and Hatschbourg. Delight in the local Muscat, characterized by its dry and highly aromatic profile, showcasing refreshing fruit flavors. </p><p>We'll also introduce you to exceptional Gewurztraminers from the Hatschbourg Grand Cru. These full-bodied wines exhibit a solid structure and round fullness, accompanied by an aromatic palette that often includes hints of licorice. From sweet to viscous, late harvest and Selection de Grains Nobles Gewurztraminers showcase extraordinary richness and aromatic complexity.</p><p>Throughout the tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful villages of Alsace, immersing yourself in the region's traditions and culture. Our driver guide will provide insights and stories, enhancing your overall experience. For those interested in broader wine introductions, we offer additional wine tours featuring tastings of other grape varieties, such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.</p><p>After the tour we will take you back to your accommodation in Colmar.</p>

Meet your English speaking driver guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this private day tour from Strasbourg. Then board your air conditioned vehicle, cross the Rhine River and begin to make your way to Southern Germany.</p><p>Baden Baden, a spa town, is located on the western foothills of the Black Forest, on the banks of the Oos River, in the region of Karlsruhe. During the 19th century, the town rose to become a meeting place for celebrities attracted by the hot springs, as well the luxury hotels, the horse races and the gardens of the Lichtentaler Allee. </p><p>Discover this fascinating town that still retains some of the most well preserved architectural delights dating from the “Belle Epoque” period. Follow your guide on a walking tour in the city and enjoy some free time for personal discovery and lunch.</p><p>In the afternoon, depending on your preferences, you will follow the famous Badische wine route and head towards the Black Forest and follow the “Hochstrasse” to admire some of the most breathtaking landscapes of the region.</p><p><strong>The Black Forest & the Schwartzwald Hochstrasse</strong></p><p>The Black Forest is a wooded mountain range bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south. The highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of 1,493 meters (4,898 feet). The name Black Forest comes from the general dark color of the numerous pine trees that grow in this region. </p><p>Black Forest gateau and cuckoo clocks originate from this region.The Black Forest Route (Schwartzwald Hochstrasse) is the oldest, and one of the best known, themed drives in Germany. A long time ago this road was used to transport logs.

In Baden, red and white wines of great repute flourish. The Blaue Spätburgunder dominates in the category of red wines, while in the category of white wines it is the Müller-Thurgau. </p><p>With regard to the other varieties, each winegrower typically specializes in the regional wine: the Riesling is mostly at home in Ortenau, the Markgräflerland is the land of Gutedel and Burgunder-wines like the Ruländer (Pinot gris) and Weißburgunder (Pinot blanc) are mainly cultivated in Breisgau, Kaiserstuhl or Tuniberg.</p><p>After the tour, return to Strasbourg.</p>

[name] => Journey to Lourdes: Private Day Tour from Bordeaux
[durationMinutes] => 600
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => A One Day Historic Tour To A Most Important City. Our unique day trip from Bordeaux to Lourdes includes the visit of the sanctuary as well as the most important sites linked to Bernadette Soubirous. Free time for personal discovery.
[description] => <p>Follow the Footsteps of a Saint Through This Prized Pilgrimage Town</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>Depart for the town of Lourdes on this full day trip from Bordeaux. In the morning we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel in Bordeaux. Meet your English speaking local guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day. Then it will be time to board your premium air conditioned minivan and depart for Lourdes.</p><p><b>Arrive in the town of Lourdes</b></p><p>Following the reports that Our Lady of Lourdes had appeared to Bernadette Soubirous on a total of eighteen occasions in 1858, Lourdes has developed into a major place of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and of miraculous healing. The 150th Jubilee of the first marian apparition took place on 11 February 2008 with an outdoor mass attended by more than ten thousand pilgrims.</p><p>Today, around six million people visit Lourdes each year. Due to the consistent stream of pilgrims and tourists, the sanctuary of our lady of Lourdes has become the second most important center of tourism in France, following Paris. It is now the third most important international Catholic pilgrimage and religious site.</p><p><b>Visit the Sanctuary</b></p><p>Upon arrival, your private tour will begin with the visit of the Sanctuaries of Lourdes. The ensemble is the largest pilgrimage site of the town. Here, all the major churches are located as well as the grotto where the apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place. Visits include the Crypt, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the Basilica of the Rosary and the impressive underground Basilica Saint Pius X.</p><p><b>Stop at the Grotto</b></p><p>Walk towards the Grotto of the apparitions and enter beneath the rock. See the spring and the famous statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, an unforgettable experience. The Grotto is the site of the extraordinary events which took place in 1858. The niche where the statue is placed marks the place where the Virgin Mary most often stood. Iit is like a window that opens onto the kingdom of God.</p><p>The Grotto is a place of prayer, hope, peace, respect, unity and silence. When passing through the Grotto or standing in front of it, each person has his or her own personal understanding of what it means. There, it is possible to fill bottles of the water of Lourdes and take time to meditate near the Grotto.</p><p><b>Free time for lunch (at own expense) in Lourdes</b></p><p>After the morning visit, it will be time for lunch. There are numerous opportunities in Lourdes so don't hesitate to ask your guide for suggestions or recommendations.</p><p><b>On the footsteps of Bernadette</b></p><p>Your full day guided tour continues in the afternoon as you follow your guide on the footsteps of Bernadette. During this walking tour in town, visit the house of Bernadette – the Boly Mill and then reach the ‘Cachot’, the small room where the family lived in the most difficult times.</p><p><b>Visit the Boly Mill</b></p><p>Bernadette Soubirous was born in this mill house on the 7th of January of 1844. She lived in the water-mill with her parents for ten years. At that time, it was part of the numerous water-mills located on the edges of the river called “the Lapacca” and flowing into the river Gave de Pau.</p><p>Inside you will discover the bedroom where Bernadette was born, the kitchen and the ancient water-mill with its grindstones. After 10 years of a happy life in the Mill, a set of tragic events will force the family to leave the Mill, not able to pay the rent anymore.</p><p><b>Visit the Cachot</b></p><p>By 1857, the Soubirous family fell on hard times and were obliged to move from the Boly Mill to what was a former prison, 'Le Cachot' (the cell). This small 16 square meters room (170 square feet) became the home of the family that was composed of the parents, Bernadette, her sister and her two brothers. It is at this time that the apparitions took place the first of which takes place on February 11, 1858. </p><p>After the visit, it will be time to return to Bordeaux and that will be the end of our services. Please note that this tour requires 2 adults minimum to operate.</p><p><b>The baths</b></p><p>It is possible to take part in a bathing experience in Lourdes. “Go and drink in the spring and wash yourself there!” These words of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette during one of the apparitions inspired the creation of the baths near the Grotto in which the pilgrims are immersed. Whether a believer or not, you are all invited to this very profound experience. Enter a bath filled with water from the spring that flows in the Grotto of the apparitions and experience something unique.</p><p>If you would like to experience the bathing in Lourdes, please let our team of travel experts know and they will organize your Lourdes travel program accordingly. Please note that opting for the bathing experience in Lourdes requires some organization.</p><p></p><p>The bathing experience takes place in the early afternoon and ideally you will need to be there early to be certain to participate. On some days, the queue can be quite long. There are separate waiting lines for women and men as well as bathing cubicles.</p>

[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 2880
[shortDescription] => A vibrant excursion to the major Americain D-Day sites & landing beaches on this small group private day trip from Bayeux. Visit Omaha & Utah landing beaches, Pointe du Hoc or American Cemetery in Colleville with Expert Normandy guide.
[description] => <p><b>Embark on an immersive and informative journey to the key US D-Day sites in Normandy!</b></p><p>Join our private tour from Bayeux as we explore the historic coastal battlegrounds where the Allied troops landed on June 6, 1944. This pivotal moment in history marked the beginning of a fierce and heroic battle that ultimately led to the liberation of France a few months later.</p> <p><b>Convenient Pick-up in Bayeux or Surrounding Area</b></p><p>To start your day, we'll pick you up directly from your accommodation in Bayeux or the surrounding area. Meet our knowledgeable English-speaking guide/driver, who will provide you with a detailed overview of the itinerary and program for the day. As this is a private tour, your guide can be flexible and accommodate specific requests, within the constraints of time and availability.</p> <p>Rest assured that our experienced guide is intimately familiar with the region and will ensure that you visit the most significant landmarks related to the US forces on D-Day. We have carefully curated a selection of major sites for you to explore. During the tour, your guide will offer appropriate suggestions for lunch, depending on the sites you choose to visit. Alternatively, we can make restaurant reservations in advance to streamline your experience.</p> <p><b>Craft Your Personalized Tour of Normandy's Landing Beaches and Sites. </b>You will be able to <b>make a selection</b> of your preferred stops during the booking process. The most significant sites include:</p><p><b>1. </b><b>Omaha Beach</b><b> </b>Among the Allied troops, the Americans landed on two distinct beaches—Omaha and Utah. Despite preliminary bombings, the German positions in the Omaha sector remained formidable, leading to a tragic outcome with numerous casualties. At Omaha Beach, you'll step back in time and hear the incredible story of one of the most audacious and successful large-scale invasions in military history. This beach presented the toughest challenges for the Allied forces, with heavily fortified bunkers, fighting positions, and obstacles designed to repel any invasion. Gain a deeper understanding of the events that unfolded on the beach and how the battle progressed inland, as depicted in the powerful opening scenes of the film 'Saving Private Ryan.</p><p><b>2. Pointe du Hoc</b></p><p>Located within the American sector, Pointe du Hoc offers a breathtaking cliffside setting with lunar landscapes, dramatic bomb craters, and stunning views of the English Channel. This awe-inspiring site was entrusted to the Rangers due to its difficulty. It was a strategically crucial point of the Atlantic Wall, positioned as the highest elevation between Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, providing an advantageous vantage point to detect any hostile arrivals from the sea. You'll encounter German bunkers and experience a sense of stepping back into 1944 as you explore the site. Learn about the heroic mission assigned to Lt. Col. James E. Rudder and the 2nd Ranger Battalion to scale the 100-foot cliffs and disable the German positions, later reinforced by Lt. Col. Max F. Schneider and the 5th Ranger Battalion.</p><p><b>3. Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville</b></p><p>Prepare to be moved by the awe-inspiring Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. This hallowed ground serves as the final resting place for 9,387 American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Battle of Normandy. The cemetery stands as a poignant tribute to the sacrifices made by the United States in the liberation of Europe. From this vantage point, you'll overlook Omaha Beach, where the deadliest landing occurred during Operation Overlord. Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of the cemetery, enhanced by its carefully crafted aesthetics. Marvel at the half circle of columns, intricate statuary, and reflective pond—all enclosed within a meticulously maintained park. Detailed maps and commentaries within the loggias provide insights into the Allied operations in Normandy and Northwestern Europe. An orientation table offers a panoramic view of Omaha Beach, while a visitor center sheds light on the historical context and course of the battles.</p><b></b><p><b>4. Utah Beach</b></p><p>Utah Beach, the westernmost landing beach during D-Day, witnessed the arrival of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. Thanks to the valiant efforts of airborne troops, the Utah Beach landing achieved significant success and thwarted major counterattacks. The German strongpoint at La Madeleine featured shelters, bunkers, a grenade launcher, and four cannons assigned to defend against any tanks. However, these defenses proved insufficient against the relentless air and naval bombardments on D-Day. The airborne troops, dropped five hours before the seaborne landings, fought their way towards the beach, neutralizing enemy positions that posed a threat to the Allied forces. Discover the remarkable stories of these paratroopers and their pivotal role in securing the landing area.</p><b></b><p><b>5. Sainte-Mère-Église</b> </p><p>Sainte-Mère-Église holds a significant place in history as the landing site for American and British airborne troops on the fateful night of June 5-6, 1944. Two U.S. Airborne Divisions were assigned to establish a bridgehead in the Sainte-Mère-Église sector, providing support for the landing of U.S. infantry at Utah Beach. Witness the bravery of the 82nd and 101st U.S. Airborne Divisions as they parachuted from 821 Douglas C-47 planes and were transported in gliders. Their mission involved reinforcing the American infantry troops at Utah Beach and expediting the capture of Cherbourg.</p><p>Join us for an unforgettable day tour, meticulously designed to cater to the interests of international guests, including adults and families, seeking to delve into the historical significance of the D-Day landings in Normandy. Our expert guides will ensure you gain a comprehensive understanding of the events that unfolded on these hallowed grounds.</p> <p></p>

Our English-speaking driver guide will provide you with a detailed program and itinerary for this highly recommended excursion, which includes a fascinating museum visit, a captivating cave exploration, and a visit to the brand new Lascaux IV museum. Hop on board our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as we embark on a journey to Les Eyzies de Tayac, the World Prehistory capital.</p><p><b>Explore the National Prehistory Museum</b></p><p>Delve into the captivating world of prehistoric art that dates back 15,000 years B.C. The Dordogne region is home to extraordinary cave paintings, drawings, and etchings created by unknown artists. This tour introduces you to this mesmerizing art and the people behind it.</p><p>Begin your day in Les Eyzies de Tayac with a guided visit to the National Prehistory Museum. Established in 2004, the museum showcases a staggering collection of 18,000 pieces and six million artifacts. Its origins trace back to 1913 when the tenacious researcher Denis Peyrony persuaded the French state to acquire the Château des Eyzies, transforming it into an excavation warehouse and museum.</p><p>Discover the world's largest collection of prehistoric artifacts as your guide takes you through the main chapters of Hominids' development, including a fascinating anthropological frieze and an overview of Africa's history, beginning with the early Australopithecus. Immerse yourself in the museum's permanent exhibit galleries, which unfold seven sequences, providing an ideal historiography of the entire Paleolithic era.</p><p><b>Enjoy Lunch in a Local Restaurant (at own expense)</b></p><p>Take advantage of your free time during lunch to savor local cuisine at a recommended restaurant in Montignac or a charming village in the Dordogne region. Your guide will be happy to offer suggestions.</p><p><b>Visit the Brand New Lascaux IV Cave Complex</b></p><p>Next, we'll continue to Montignac, where you'll explore the remarkable Lascaux IV cave, opened to the public in December 2016. This extraordinary replica faithfully reproduces the original cave, offering an immersive experience in the discovery of its famous decorations.</p><p>But the adventure doesn't end there. The site also delves into Lascaux's significance in cave art and its connection to contemporary creation. The International Center for Cave Art marks the beginning of an exciting journey that combines the emotional impact of ancestral art with remarkable technological achievements.</p><p>Follow a guided tour led by a local expert, and then take your time to explore the exhibitions and the center for prehistoric cave art.</p><p><b>Conclude with a Visit to Rouffignac Cave</b></p><p>To wrap up the tour, we'll visit the awe-inspiring Rouffignac Cave, featuring state-of-the-art original cave paintings, etchings, and drawings. The cave's existence was first mentioned in 1575 and became a popular tourist attraction in the 19th century. Notable prehistorians like Henri Breuil, André Glory, and Martel explored the cave in the early 20th century. However, it wasn't until 1956 that Louis-René Nougier and Romain Robert, two prehistorians from the Pyrenees, rediscovered and authenticated the cave art.</p><p>Upon arrival, board an electric train that will take you nearly 2 kilometers deep into the cave. During the journey, the train will make stops in front of spectacular drawings and etchings. Descend further to the cave's bottom for a brief stop. </p><p>Disembark the train and marvel at the ceiling of the cave, adorned with a multitude of drawings. Here, you'll find 66 animal representations seemingly arranged in a swirling, disorganized manner, surrounding a large suction funnel that leads to a well and provides access to the cave's second floor. Mammoths, Rhinoceroses, Bisons, Horses, and the rare Ibex are among the captivating depictions.</p><p>After this remarkable visit, we'll return to Sarlat, leaving you with lasting memories of this extraordinary journey into the depths of history. Book your private tour today for an unforgettable exploration of the region's prehistoric wonders.</p>

[name] => Petite France & Cathedral: Private Walking Tour of Strasbourg
[durationMinutes] => 120
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 41760
[shortDescription] => Explore the History & Beauty of Strasbourg with an Expert local licensed Guide on this private guided walking tour of Strasbourg. Avoid the free walking tours of Strasbourg and visit this city with an official guide including the Cathedral!
[description] => <p>Follow a certified tour guide in the Grande Ile, a Unesco World Heritage site, around the old pedestrian areas, the Cathedral and the Petite France neighborhood. The tour includes major landmarks such as Maison Kammerzell, Gutenberg square, St. Thomas church, the former tanners’ houses, the Covered Bridge and many more.</p><p><b>Pick up by your guide at your centrally located Hotel</b></p><p>For this private walking tour of the beautiful city of Strasbourg, your guide will come and pick you up at your hotel or accommodation in central Strasbourg. If you are not based in Strasbourg and are coming from outside, we will suggest a convenient meeting point where to meet your guide.</p><p><b>The Cathedral</b></p><p>Begin your private 2-hour walk in Strasbourg.The old city centers around its Gothic cathedral, Our Lady of Strasbourg, built of red sandstone and described by Victor Hugo as a “gigantic and delicate marvel”! Follow your expert guide for the Cathedral* visit including the marvelous façade that provides one of the finest picture books of the Middle Ages that you will ever see.</p><p>The hundreds of sculptures which almost seem to leap out at you from the wall make great use of light and shadow effects. Another major attraction that your guide will comment on are the stained-glass windows dating from the 12th and 14th centuries and that form a particularly enchanting sight along with the rose window.</p><p>Finally, the highlight of the visit to the Cathedral of Notre Dame is the amazing Renaissance astronomical clock. Built in 1843 it features an orrery, a rotating display of the sun and moon, a planetary calendar, and even a mechanical rooster. Each day at around 12:30, the bird crows and a conga line of apostles issues forth from the clockworks, led by a little Christ.</p><p>* Please note that the audio headset rental that is compulsory to visit the Cathedral is included in the price.</p><p><b>The Old Town & La Petite France district</b></p><p>After the visit of the Cathedral, reach the Petite France district. Historically, this was the poor section of the city occupied by mills and tanneries, both of which depended on the river and its downward flowing branches to support their work.</p><p>Today, the neighborhood is one of the most charming of Strasbourg with its colorful 16th and 17th century half-timbered houses such as the ‘Maison des Tanneurs’ that your guide will certainly point out.</p><p>Your private guided tour in this charming area will lead you to our final stop: a series of fortified bridges and their three towers. This succession of three bridges linking arms with the Ill River is dominated by three 14th century towers, remains of the ancient medieval ramparts, which totalized 90 towers. The bridges themselves were once capped by a wooden roof.</p><p>Of course Strasbourg offers so much more including the visit of the German district, the visit of the European Parliament or the different Museums located in the Palais Rohan. Since this is a private tour don't hesitate to reach out to our team of travel advisors if there is a highlight of Strasbourg that you would like to include on this tour.</p><p></p><p>After your tour, why not join one of our half day or full day trips from Strasbourg to the most important landmarks of Alsace along the wine route?</p>

With its 10,600 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of approximately 50 million liters, this region is a haven for wine lovers. It primarily produces red wines, utilizing grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Some white wines are also produced under the generic Bordeaux AOC classification.</p></li><li><p>Saint Emilion: Situated on a hill along the Dordogne Valley, the medieval village of Saint Emilion holds the distinction of being the first wine region to achieve World Heritage status in 1999. Its history dates back to the 2nd century when Romans introduced grape cultivation. The village derives its name from Emilian, a monk who sought refuge in one of the natural caves and later became a central figure in the area's religious and winemaking development. Saint Emilion wines, known for their robust flavors and rich earthy notes, are predominantly made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.</p></li><li><p>Graves: Bordering the Garonne river, the Graves Bordeaux wine region encompasses sub-regions like Pessac Léognan, Sauternes, and Barsac (known for its sweet wines). This region's distinguishing feature is its intensely gravelly soil. While Chateau Haut Brion was included in the 1855 Médoc classification, the Graves appellation itself received its classification in 1953 for red wines and 1959 for white wines. Graves is renowned as the birthplace of claret, and its wines showcase grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle. Prominent wineries in the area include La Mission Haut Brion, Domaine de Chevalier, Château Haut Bailly, and Château Bouscaut, many of which are classified as Crus Classes wines.</p></li></ol><p>Indulge in a remarkable wine tour experience and discover the captivating charm of Bordeaux's three major wine regions: Médoc, Saint Emilion, and Graves. Let our expert guides and comfortable transportation ensure a memorable journey through the world of Bordeaux wines.</p>

This charming village derives its name from the association of St Amador or Amadour, whose relics were discovered in the heart of the sanctuary in 1166, giving rise to the name "roca" (cliff).</p><p>Prepare to be enchanted by Rocamadour's historical monuments and the revered Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which has attracted pilgrims from all corners of the world for centuries, including kings, bishops, and nobles.</p><p>Accompanied by your expert guide, wander through the medieval streets of the village, reaching the steps that lead to the middle section, where the church square, Place St Amadour, awaits, surrounded by its seven sanctuaries.</p><p>Ascend the Great Staircase, consisting of approximately 216 steps, an iconic path pilgrims once climbed on their knees during the Middle Ages.

[name] => Rocamadour Village from Sarlat private tour: A Hidden Gem Unveiled
[durationMinutes] => 240
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 2880
[shortDescription] => Discover Rocamadour, a UNESCO World Heritage site, on a half-day tour from Sarlat. Explore the medieval village, visit the revered sanctuary, and enjoy stunning views. Book now for an unforgettable experience!
[description] => <p><b>Explore the Enchanting Village of Rocamadour: A UNESCO World Heritage Site</b></p><p>Immerse yourself in the beauty of one of France's most breathtaking villages nestled in the Quercy region. Perched against a majestic cliff, this architectural marvel reflects the French Feudal system, embodying the three distinct orders of Chivalry, Clergy, and Peasantry.</p><p>As you wander through the village, marvel at the houses that once sheltered the peasants at the bottom, while the middle section housed the Clergy and the Sanctuary. At the pinnacle of the cliff, discover the Castle, the residence of the local Lord and a testament to the Chivalry order.</p><p>Today, Rocamadour continues to captivate pilgrims and visitors worldwide. Its inclusion on the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route has earned it a prestigious spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.</p><p><b>Hotel Pickup in Sarlat: Begin Your Journey</b></p><p>We will start our adventure by picking you up directly from your hotel or accommodation in Sarlat or the surrounding area. Meet your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, an expert in the Dordogne region, who will provide you with a detailed itinerary and program for this half-day tour. Step into our spacious, comfortable, and air-conditioned Mercedes minivan, ensuring a pleasant journey to Rocamadour.</p><p><b>Travel in Comfort with a Mercedes Minivan</b></p><p>Our private Sarlat Sightseeing Tour offers the luxury of traveling in one of our spacious Mercedes Minivans. While this vehicle can accommodate up to 8 individuals, we are reserving it exclusively for your group, allowing you to choose the seats that best suit your preferences for social distancing, all while enjoying the insightful commentary from your guide. All our vehicles feature an onboard P/A system, ensuring that you hear your driver/guide's commentary regardless of your seat selection. </p><p><b>Rocamadour: Embark on a Picture-Perfect Visit</b></p><p>Set off on a journey to the pilgrimage and fortress village of Rocamadour, known for its breathtaking location within a gorge overlooking a tributary of the River Dordogne. The village's name likely stems from the combination of St. Amador or Amadour, whose relics were discovered in the sanctuary's heart in 1166, and "roca" (cliff).</p><p>This picturesque village is celebrated for its historical monuments and the revered sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Throughout the centuries, it has attracted pilgrims from all corners of the globe, including kings, bishops, and nobles.</p><p>Accompanied by your guide, wander through the medieval streets of the village until you reach the steps leading to the central part of the village, where the Church Square, known as Place St Amadour, awaits with its seven sanctuaries. The magnificent Great Staircase, consisting of approximately 216 steps, carries visitors from the lower town to the religious complex—an arduous climb pilgrims once undertook on their knees during the Middle Ages.</p><p><b>Discover the Monastic Buildings within the Sanctuary</b></p><p>Upon arrival, your guide will introduce you to the sanctuary, inviting you to seek out the legendary sword of Roland, Durandal, embedded in the cliff. According to legend, Roland, Charlemagne's nephew, hurled the sword from the battlefield to ensure no one would ever wield it again, and it found its resting place in Rocamadour.</p><p>Inside the sanctuary, marvel at the renowned Notre Dame Chapel, an extraordinary complex dating back to the 13th century. Your guide will share fascinating stories surrounding the Black Madonna statue, carved from a walnut tree in the 12th century.</p><p>Adorning the chapel's ceiling are ship models offered by grateful survivors who invoked the Black Madonna and were subsequently rescued from shipwrecks. It is said that with each saved vessel, the miraculous bell in the chapel would ring once. Facing the Notre Dame chapel, admire the stunning 12th-century frescoes depicting the Annunciation and Visitation.</p><p><b>Enjoy Personal Exploration</b></p><p>Following your sanctuary visit, delight in some free time to explore at your leisure. If you exit the sanctuary at the same level, you can ascend to the Castle, situated above the sanctuary, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Alzou canyon, although the Castle itself is not open to visitors. Alternatively, descend back to the village and take a leisurely stroll along the main street, perusing local arts and crafts shops for unique souvenirs.</p><p>After your personal discovery time, we will return to Sarlat, concluding our unforgettable journey. Book your Rocamadour tour today and embark on a captivating adventure to one of France's most enchanting UNESCO World Heritage sites, filled with architectural wonders, spiritual significance, and natural beauty.</p>

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Enchanting Loire Valley Chateaux with Our Expert English-Speaking Guide</b></p><p>Embark on a captivating journey through the Loire Valley Chateaux with our knowledgeable local guide, fluent in English and well-versed in the history of the region. We begin by picking you up from your accommodation in Tours, ensuring your convenience and comfort. Meet our skilled driver/guide, specializing in the captivating tales of the Loire Valley and its renowned castles. </p><p>Your guide will present the day's program and itinerary, allowing you to prepare for an unforgettable experience. Get ready to set off in our premium air-conditioned vehicle, providing a luxurious and pleasant journey along the scenic Loire Valley Chateau Route.</p><p><b>Embark on an Unforgettable Exploration, Starting with Château de Chambord</b></p><p>Upon meeting your guide and settling into our small group vehicle, we venture towards the magnificent Château de Chambord, our first stop along the Loire Valley castle trail. Regarded as one of the most breathtaking Chateaux in the region, Chambord is a true gem awaiting your discovery. After a delightful one-hour drive, we arrive at the stunning Château de Chambord, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. </p><p>This extraordinary castle, nestled in the heart of France's Sologne region, was commissioned by King Francis I (François 1er) during the early 16th century. Originally constructed as a hunting lodge, the Château showcases exquisite Italian Renaissance architecture, serving as a testament to the grandeur and power of the young French king.</p><p>Marvel at the Castle's architectural wonders, featuring a central keep encircled by four imposing bastion towers. With over 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases, Chambord is a testament to opulence and scale. Of notable significance is the renowned double helix staircase, believed to be inspired by the brilliant Leonardo da Vinci. Although King Francis I never witnessed the completion of the castle, it was during the reign of King Louis XIV (the Sun King) that Château de Chambord reached its final form. </p><p>Maintaining such a vast estate proved challenging over the years, passing through various ownerships connected to royalty. However, since 1930, the French State has rightfully assumed ownership, ensuring the preservation of this historic treasure.</p><p>Upon arrival, our guide will lead you on a comprehensive tour of the Castle, lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Explore the main rooms, marvel at the famous double spiral staircase, and ascend to the Castle's terraces, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. </p><p>Following the guided tour, you'll have free time to further immerse yourself in the enchantment of Chambord Castle. If you have included the Château and Gardens visit in your booking, take a leisurely stroll through the splendid French Gardens of Chambord, embracing their natural beauty.</p><p><b>Indulge in a Scenic Lunch Break</b></p><p>After the captivating visit to Chambord Castle, take some time to savor a delectable lunch at your own expense. Numerous dining options are available within close proximity to the Château, allowing you to choose according to your preferences. Our knowledgeable guide will be delighted to provide recommendations based on your culinary desires. Once refreshed and satiated, it's time to continue our journey towards the exquisite Château de Chenonceau.</p><p><b>Immerse Yourself in the Allure of Château de Chenonceau</b></p><p>After lunch, we chauffeur you to the enchanting village of Chenonceaux, home to the remarkable Château de Chenonceau. Originally established in the 13th century, the Château underwent reconstruction and expansion under the patronage of King Francis I, who claimed it as repayment for a debt. </p><p>Subsequently, the Château became the residence of Diane de Poitiers, mistress of Henri II, who contributed to its transformation, including the construction of the iconic arched bridge spanning the River Cher. Catherine de Medici later acquired the Château after the death of her husband, Henri II, and expelled Diane de Poitiers from the premises.</p><p>Catherine de Medici invested considerable resources into renovating and embellishing the Château, renowned for hosting extravagant nighttime festivities, including the first fireworks display in France in 1560. </p><p>Following Catherine de Medici's era, the Château passed through the hands of various owners, including Louise Dupin, who held illustrious literary salons attended by luminaries such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, and Marivaux. The notable philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau served as Louise Dupin's secretary and tutor to her son. </p><p>In more recent times, the castle was acquired by the Menier family, renowned chocolatiers, in 1913. To this day, the Chateau de Chenonceau remains under their ownership.</p><p>Upon arrival, embark on a captivating tour of the Château de Chenonceau, home to an extraordinary collection of furniture, tapestries, and paintings, including masterpieces by Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, and Van Dyck. </p><p>Unveil the secrets of Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, explore the elegant Green Study, wander through the Gallery, and discover the fascinating kitchens. Following the guided tour, take some free time to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the castle's captivating gardens.</p><p><b>Return to Tours with Cherished Memories</b></p><p>Concluding the visit to Château de Chenonceau, we begin our return journey to Tours, where our professional services come to an end. As we drop you off, we bid you farewell, knowing you have experienced the mesmerizing beauty of the Loire Valley. For those considering a day trip from Paris, this Loire Valley tour can also be arranged as a remarkable excursion from the capital.</p><p>Immerse yourself in the Loire Valley's captivating history and architectural splendor by joining our expertly guided tour.

[name] => Bordeaux Escape: Explore Arcachon Bay & Pilat Dune Privately
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => Discover a unique Sea Side Resort on this private day trip from Bordeaux to Arcachon Bay. Climb Dune du Pilat, Europe’s Largest Sand Dune. Reach Cap Ferret by boat or take an optional Pinasse du Bassin Boat ride. Taste Arcachon Oysters.
[description] => <p><b>Drive from Bordeaux to Arcachon</b></p><p>Arcachon is a popular bathing location on the Atlantic coast 55 kilometers (34 miles) southwest of Bordeaux. It has fine sandy beaches, a mild climate and the town itself is dotted with belle époque architecture making it a popular destination far from the bustle of Bordeaux.</p><p>The town of Arcachon is only 150 years old. Not long before May 2nd 1857, when Emperor Napoleon III signed its official “birth certificate”, it was just a pine forest, oaks and strawberry trees (arbutus), with no road links, and home – mostly when the weather was expected to be warm, and more in wood huts than in real houses – to fewer than 400 people, mostly fishermen and peasants. In earlier years, when some hygienists began to recommend sea bathing, three sea establishments were laid out by some entrepreneurs especially for the Bordeaux bourgeoisie.</p><p>At its southern entrance from the Atlantic Ocean, Arcachon Bay is crowned by Europe’s largest sand dune, the Dune de Pilat (or du Pyla), nearly 3 kilometres long, 500 metres wide, reaching 107 metres in height, and moving inland at a rate of 5 metres a year.</p><p><b>Reach the Bay of Arcachon</b> </p><p>Today depart from Bordeaux and head towards this land locked sea known as “The Bay of Arcachon”. Upon arrival, discover the oyster sheds that are laid in rows one next to each other and that belong to the local oyster farmers that make this destination so well known to all French oyster aficionados. Here you will have the opportunity to taste fresh Arguin Banc accompanied with fresh baguette, lightly salted butter and a glass of white wine of course.</p><p>For lunch, your guide will certainly suggest one of the many high quality sea food restaurants located along the shore. There are also fantastic restaurants facing the sand beaches that can be booked by your guide in the morning and that really bring out the natural beauty of Arcachon Bay. </p><p><b>In the afternoon a number of options are possible:</b> </p><p>Option 1 - Head to Pilat and climb the dune. </p><p>After a short drive from Arcachon town, reach the highest sand dune of Europe located in the small town of Pilat sur Mer. During the summer season, a staircase is put in place so that it is easier to climb the Dune without damaging the area. This means you will have to make some effort to reach the top as there are 170 stairs to climb. Once at the top, discover the natural beauty of the landscape and admire one of the most stunning views of the Bay and the pine forest in the back.</p><p>Option 2 - A traditional Private Pinasse Boat Tour on the Bay </p><p>Book an optional unique boat ride on board a local “Pinasse”, the traditional boats of the Bay of Arcachon. All built out of wood, mention of the boats date back to the 1500’s at a time when they were used only for fishing. This pleasant ride will have you see the numerous oyster farms and admire ‘Birds Island’ with its “Tchanqués” huts built on wooden piles. You can also include some oyster tasting, picnic & wine to enhance your experience.</p><p>Any of these options can be chosen during the booking process. Tour returns to the Bordeaux area at the end of our services. </p>

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Delights of Châteauneuf du Pape: Private Day Trip from Aix en Provence Wine Tour</b></p><p>Embark on a remarkable Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, departing from Aix en Provence, and immerse yourself in a full-day private small group experience. Our English-speaking local guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Aix en Provence, and your knowledgeable driver guide will provide you with a detailed itinerary and program for the day.</p><p><b>Journey to the Enchanting Châteauneuf du Pape Wine Region</b></p><p>As we make our way to the captivating Châteauneuf du Pape wine region, get ready to indulge in several wine tasting sessions at carefully selected wineries. Châteauneuf du Pape holds a prestigious position as one of the first AOC wines of France, with vineyards that trace back to the Roman era. The region experienced significant development during the 14th century under the patronage of the Avignon Popes. It was Pope Clement V who first discovered the unique soil of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and his successor, Pope John XXII, further fostered viticulture practices, propelling the vineyard to fame beyond the borders of "The Comtat."</p><p><b>Unveil the Rich History and Breathtaking Views</b></p><p>Upon reaching this renowned wine-producing region, explore the village and its ancient castle, which served as the summer residence for the Popes during their stay. Delight in a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley as you immerse yourself in the ambiance of this historical setting.</p><p><b>Morning Wine Tasting Session at a Local Winery</b></p><p>Châteauneuf du Pape wines are celebrated for their full-bodied reds, predominantly crafted from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—typical grapes found in the southern vineyards of France. The region also produces intensely perfumed white Châteauneuf du Pape wines, featuring grape varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, many of which are rustic French varietals.</p><p>Upon arrival in the village, indulge in a wine tasting session at a local winery. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore and embark on a wine tour of Châteauneuf du Pape wines in the old 14th century pope cellars. If desired, your guide can recommend additional wineries for further wine tasting experiences.</p><p><b>Lunch at a Local Restaurant (at own expense)</b></p><p>Following the morning's Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, it's time to savor a delectable lunch. We can pre-book a table for you and your party at a local restaurant, allowing you to relish the flavors of the region while pairing the cuisine with more Châteauneuf du Pape red or white wines.</p><p><b>Afternoon Wine Tasting Session at a Local Winery</b></p><p>After a satisfying lunch, embark on your second Châteauneuf du Pape winery tour. Discover the history of the unique domain, explore the facilities, and engage in a guided tasting of the estate's exceptional wines. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the wine-making process, the diverse blending possibilities, and the wide range of grape varieties used to create these extraordinary wines.</p><p><b>Return to Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Conclude your wine tasting adventure as we transport you back to Aix en Provence, marking the end of our services.

[shortDescription] => Visit the Loire Valley Castles of Chateau de Chenonceau & Chateau de Chambord. Pick up at your accommodation in Amboise and enjoy a small group private day tour with a local guide, expert of the Loire Valley France.
[description] => <p><b>Experience the Enchanting Loire Valley Chateaux Tour from Amboise with Expert Guide</b></p><p>Join us on a captivating journey through the Loire Valley's magnificent chateaux, accompanied by our knowledgeable English-speaking guide, an expert in the region's rich history and iconic castles. We'll start the morning by picking you up from your hotel or accommodation in Amboise, ensuring a convenient and comfortable experience. </p><p>Upon meeting your guide, they will provide you with a detailed program and itinerary for the day. Board our comfortable premium air-conditioned vehicle, designed to make your journey seamless and enjoyable, as we embark on the renowned Loire Valley Chateau Route.</p><p><b>Depart from Amboise and Discover Château de Chambord</b></p><p>Upon meeting your guide and settling into our small group vehicle, we'll begin our adventure with a visit to the awe-inspiring Château de Chambord, the first castle on our Loire Valley itinerary. Considered one of the most beautiful chateaux in the region, Chambord is a UNESCO World Heritage site that never fails to mesmerize visitors. After a pleasant drive of approximately one hour, we'll arrive at the breathtaking Château de Chambord.</p><p>Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Sologne region, this chateau was commissioned by King Francis 1 (François 1er) in the early 16th century as a hunting lodge. Although not intended as a permanent residence, the castle's architecture showcases the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance style, serving as a symbol of power for the young French king and impressing foreign visitors and ambassadors.</p><p>The castle's centerpiece is its central keep, adorned with four massive bastion towers at each corner. With over 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases, Chambord is a true architectural marvel. Notably, its famous double helix staircase, believed to be inspired by the genius Leonardo da Vinci, is a testament to the castle's extraordinary craftsmanship.</p><p>While King Francis 1 never witnessed the completion of Château de Chambord, it was finished during the reign of King Louis XIV (the Sun King). The maintenance of this grandiose castle proved challenging over the years, passing through various hands before ultimately being acquired by the French State in 1930.</p><p>Upon arrival, your guide will lead you on a comprehensive tour of the castle, lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Explore the main rooms, marvel at the iconic double spiral staircase, and ascend to the terraces for a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. After the guided tour, you'll have some free time to further explore Chambord Castle at your leisure. If you selected the Château and Gardens visit during the booking process, don't miss the opportunity to stroll through the picturesque French Gardens of Chambord.</p><p><b>Indulge in Free Time for Lunch (at own expense)</b></p><p>Following the captivating visit to Chambord Castle, you'll have ample time for lunch on your own, with a range of options available at the castle or in the nearby vicinity. Your guide will be delighted to offer recommendations based on your preferences. After a satisfying lunch, we'll continue our journey to the next highlight of the day: Château de Chenonceau.</p><p><b>Explore the Magnificent Château de Chenonceau</b></p><p>After lunch, we'll drive to Chenonceaux, where the remarkable Château de Chenonceau awaits. While the original chateau dates back to the 13th century, it underwent significant transformations and became a property of King Francis I to settle a debt.</p><p>One of the most notable owners was Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henri II, who added the arched bridge spanning the River Cher and transformed the building. After the king's death, Catherine de Medici took possession of the chateau and expelled Diane de Poitiers.</p><p>During Catherine de Medici's ownership, the chateau witnessed lavish renovations and extravagant nighttime parties, including the first-ever fireworks display in France, held in 1560.</p><p>Over time, Château de Chenonceau changed hands several times, with one famous owner being Louise Dupin, renowned for hosting a literary salon frequented by eminent figures like Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, and Marivaux. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the celebrated philosopher, even served as Louise Dupin's secretary and tutor to her son.</p><p>In more recent history, the castle was acquired in 1913 by the Menier family, renowned chocolatiers, and remains in their possession to this day.</p><p>Upon arrival at Chenonceau castle, embark on a comprehensive tour that showcases its outstanding collection of furniture, tapestries, and paintings, including works by renowned artists such as Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, and Van Dyck. Highlights of the castle tour include Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, the Green Study, the Gallery, and the kitchens. After the guided tour, take some time to explore the beautiful gardens at your leisure.</p><p><b>Conclude the Tour with a Return to Amboise</b></p><p>As our visit to the remarkable Château de Chenonceau comes to an end, it will be time to head back to Amboise, where we will drop you off, concluding our exceptional services. We hope you have enjoyed this captivating journey through the Loire Valley's iconic chateaux, immersing yourself in their fascinating history, architectural splendor, and enchanting surroundings.</p><p>Book your unforgettable Loire Valley Chateaux Tour today and embark on an extraordinary adventure through France's most iconic castles!</p><p></p><p></p>

Immerse yourself in one of the finest private tours available in Normandy, exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Over the course of several hundred years, a small group of Benedictine monks settled on the island, leading to the expansion of the church and the creation of the first monastery carved into the rock during the 11th century. Throughout the medieval period, Mont Saint Michel emerged as a significant pilgrimage destination, akin to Spain's Santiago de Compostela.</p><p>The abbey we marvel at today took shape over the 13th and 14th centuries, with further enhancements in the 15th century, including the magnificent grand chancel. Centuries of architectural brilliance have given rise to this extraordinary monument, now hailed as the "Wonder of the Western World."</p><p><b>Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mont Saint Michel</b></p><p>Embark on a scenic journey from Bayeux to Mont Saint Michel, where we'll reach the island via a shuttle (following scheduled departures) and cross the bridge in accordance with local regulations. As you travel, savor the picturesque Normandy landscape and witness the enduring debate between Normandy and Brittany over the site's regional affiliation.</p><p>Our Mont Saint Michel tour from Bayeux will guide you to the abbey perched atop the mount, home to the Benedictine Abbey. Follow your knowledgeable guide on a walking tour, delving into the intricate history of the abbey's construction. Capture awe-inspiring views of the surrounding bay as you ascend.

[shortDescription] => A vibrant excursion to the American Normandy D-Day sites & landing beaches. From Caen, visit Omaha beach, Pointe du Hoc or Utah beach. Create your own Normandy tour with us. English speaking guide, expert of Normandy invasion.
[description] => <p>Embark on a vibrant excursion to the main US D-Day sites! </p><p></p><p>Departing from Caen, this private tour will take you to the Normandy coastal battlefield grounds. On June 6, 1944, the allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches, marking the beginning of a fierce and deadly battle that would culminate in the liberation of France a few months later.</p><p><b>Pick up in Caen or surrounding area</b></p><p>First, we will come and pick you up directly at your accommodation in Caen or the surrounding area. Meet your English speaking guide/driver who will go over the itinerary & program of the day with you. As this is a private tour, your guide will be flexible and the tour will be adapted to your wishes in case you have specific requests and as long as the timing allows it. </p><p>However, please note that your guide knows the area inside out and will show you the most significant landmarks of the region. Below is a selection of the major sites linked to the U.S forces on D-DAY that it will be possible to visit with your guide. For lunch and depending on the sites that you have chosen to visit, your tour guide will make appropriate suggestions or we can pre-arrange restaurant reservations for you.</p><p>Our travel advisors will design the best possible itinerary and guided tours, adapted to your wishes and that will respect the timing of the tour.</p><p>Create your own personalized tour in Normandy on this full day landing beaches & sites sightseeing tour</p><p><b>1. Omaha beach</b></p><p>Among the allied troops, the Americans landed on two different beaches named Omaha and Utah. Even though bombings occurred before the landing itself, they failed to neutralize the German positions in that sector. In addition, troops and amphibian vehicles were disembarked too far from the shore, leading to an absolute failure and thousands of men being killed under German fire.</p><p>First, you will first reach the coastal battlefield area of Omaha Beach. Here, listen to your guide as you are taken back in time to hear the tale of one of the boldest and most successful large scale invasions in military history. Omaha was by far the toughest assignment in Overlord and was the most heavily defended of all the beaches; its bunkers, fighting positions, and obstacles were intended to repel any Allied landing.</p><p>In addition, troops and amphibian vehicles were disembarked too far from the shore, leading to an absolute failure and thousands of men being killed under heat German fire. The assault on this beach was perfectly depicted in the opening scenes of ‘Saving Private Ryan’ movie. Learn more about the landing and the following days as your tour guide explains all the events that took place on the beach and how the battle raged and evolved inland.</p><p><b>2. Pointe du Hoc</b></p><p>Also located in the American sector, visit Pointe du Hoc, a breathtaking cliff offering lunar landscapes, stunning bomb craters and a magnificent viewpoint over the English Channel. Given the toughness of the operation, the Pointe du Hoc was given to Rangers to land upon.</p><p>The battle site, dotted with German bunkers was rough, as the Pointe du Hoc had been built as a key point of the Atlantic Wall. It was the highest point between Utah beach and Omaha beach and provided a great observation spot to notice any unfriendly arrivals from the sea. You can still see an artillery gun battery there and feel as if it was still 1944.</p><p>Here, Lt. Col. James E. Rudder, commanding the 2nd Ranger Battalion, received the mission to land at 6:30 a.m., scale the 100 foot cliffs, and disable the German positions. Lt. Col. Max F. Schneider’s 5th Ranger Battalion would follow and reinforce them. As you arrive, follow your guide who will give you more information on the site and take in some incredible views of the Normandy beaches.</p><p><b>3. Normandy American cemetery in Colleville</b></p><p>The impressive American Military Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer contains the remains of 9.387 American soldiers who fell during the Battle of Normandy. The cemetery reflects and honors the sacrifices that the USA made for the liberation of Europe. From this point one can overlook Omaha Beach, the deadliest landing beach of Operation Overlord.</p><p>The American Military Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer is the most famous war cemetery in Normandy. Great care has been given to its esthetic qualities. Many elements combine to make a lasting impression: the half circle of columns, the elaborate statuary, the great reflecting pond, and the immaculate park enclosing the graves.</p><p>Large maps and commentaries in the loggias explain the Allied operations in Normandy and Northwestern Europe. A vantage point offers a panoramic view of Omaha Beach and an orientation table clarifies the strategic movements during the first days of the invasion. Since 2007 a visitor center welcomes visitors and sheds light on the course of the battles.</p><p><b>4. Longues Sur Mer - German artillery</b></p><p>The German artillery battery at Longues-sur-Mer was perfectly located to oppose the landings of 6 June 1944. Its guns were positioned right between Omaha and Gold Beaches. On D-Day, this battery fought a duel with the Allied fleet before it was silenced at sunset.</p><p>One of the most important elements of the Atlantic Wall, the battery at Longues Sur Mer included a range-finding post and four casemates, each housing a 150 mm gun. It was built on a cliff top overlooking the English Channel. In the heart of the Allied assault sector, it played a strategic role during the Normandy Landings on June 6th 1944.</p><p>Today, the site is one of the best preserved in France and the only one where you can still see some of the original cannon, capable, at the time, of firing shells weighing 45 kg at a distance of 22 km. The view from the firing command post, dug into the cliff, offers a vast panorama over the Bay of the Seine.</p><p><b>5. Utah beach</b></p><p>Utah Beach was the codename of D-Day’s westernmost landing beach. Here the U.S. 4th Infantry Division came ashore. The Utah Beach landing was quite successful, partially thanks to the Airborne troops who prevented any significant counter attacks against the landing area.</p><p>The German strongpoint on the beach of La Madeleine was composed of various shelters and bunkers, a grenade launcher and four canons assigned to cover an antitank zone. These modest defences could not withstand the terrible air and naval bombardments of D-Day. </p><p>Five hours before the first seaborne landings, U.S. airborne troops were dropped behind the coastal defences. Fighting their way towards the beach, they cleared the enemy positions that threatened the Allied exit from the beaches. The paratroopers managed to prevent any significant counterattacks.</p><p><b>6. Sainte Mere Eglise</b></p><p>Shortly after midnight on 6 June 1944, D-Day began with the landing of American and British airborne troops on French soil. Two U.S. Airborne Divisions were tasked to establish a bridgehead in the sector of Sainte-Mère-Église, to back up the landing of the U.S. infantry on Utah Beach.</p><p>The 82nd and 101st U.S. Airborne Divisions were tasked to establish a bridgehead on the Western flank of the Allied assault. 13.348 paratroopers jumped from 821 Douglas C-47 planes, while 4.400 soldiers were transported in gliders. Their mission was to back up the landing of the American infantry troops at Utah Beach and to help them take Cherbourg as fast as possible.</p><p><b>7. Airborne museum</b></p><p>The Sainte-Mère-Église museum was inaugurated in 1964 right where American paratroopers were involved in fierce battles during the night of 5 to 6 June and the following days. The museum holds an important collection of uniforms, weaponry and other war memorabilia. Two additional buildings opened in June 2014.</p><p>This museum is essentially dedicated to the memory of American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions who were dropped over the base of the Cotentin Peninsula. Visitors can appreciate the weapons used by American airborne units during the Second World War.</p><p>The American paratroopers and their role in the Landing in Normandy are the focus of the Sainte-Mère-Église Museum. The collection features the deservedly famous troop transportation plane Douglas C-47 (also known as ‘Skytrain’) as well as a Waco glider which cannot be seen anywhere in France other than in Sainte-Mère-Église.</p><p></p>

[destination_short_description] => One of the two most important towns of Normandy, Caen is known to be William the Conqueror's hometown and is where he and his wife Matilda of Flanders had two great Abbeys built. Even though most of the town was destroyed during the 2nd World War, some of the great monuments have survived and the historic center was well restored making the town an attractive destination.
[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Caen Travel Guide (Normandy, France)</h2>
<p>Caen is a perfect location if you want to discover the major highlights that the Normandy region has to offer. Within the city there are a number of monuments to visit such as Abbaye aux Dames and Abbaye aux Hommes, the Vaugueux neighbourhood, the Marina and the WWII Memorial museum with its fascinating D-Day exhibit;</p>
<p><strong><span class="_highlight">A bit of history</span></strong></p>
<p>There is not much known about Caen before the early 11th century. It is with William the Conqueror that the city really begins to be mentionned. He will have a fortress built as well as the famous Saint Stephen and Trinity Abbeys. The town became the possession of the King of France Philippe-Auguste in 1204 but the town fell back into English hand during the 100 years War. The town will remain English until 1450.</p>
<p>After a series of plague pandemics, the town was shaked by the war of Religions between Catholics and Protestants. The latter took the town and devastated the Abbeys and Churches. After the Edict of Amboise of 1563 the fighting eventually stopped.</p>
<p>The next most important event in the history of Caen takes place on June 6th 1944. After the Normandy landings, Caen is one of the main objectives of the Allied Forces. According to the original plans, the city was to be liberated on the first day but that did not happen. The town will not be liberated until August of 1944 and in just a month of intense bombing that town has lost nearly 70% of its buildings.</p>

[shortDescription] => Visit the Charming small town of Beaune with an Expert, licensed Guide in a fun & informative way. Highlights of the tour include Notre Dame Basilica, the Great Tower and all major highlights of the town of Beaune.
[description] => <p>Follow a private guided walking tour with a licensed guide, expert of the town of Beaune. Today, we will come and pick you up at your hotel or accommodation in Beaune. If you are traveling from outside the city, we will pre-program a centrally located meeting point.</p><p>Meet your English speaking licensed guide who is accredited to conduct guided tours in historical towns, museums and monuments and thanks to the fascinating stories and local anecdotes you will discover Beaune in a fun & informative way.</p><p>Then, begin your 2-hour guided walking tour in Beaune. Discover how the city was built from the middle ages to the present day and admire the heritage which reminds us of the great Beaune Hours including the Notre Dame Collegiate Church and passing by the ramparts of the city.</p><p><b>A bit of History</b></p><p>The origin of the town of Beaune can be dated back to the 1st century BP when the Romans decided to build a fortification that lied at the crossroads between two of their most important ways. One linked the town of Lyon to Trier (Germany) and the other linked the town of Besançon to Autun. The town became prosperous in the 12th century thanks to the wine trade and its urban area expands outside the castle walls, erecting remparts that can be still seen today.</p><p>The town was at the time the Capital of the Duchy of Burgundy and the first Burgundian Parliament met at Beaune in 1227. During the middle ages, the town then organized itself around three major locations: the market square (that is today Place de la Halle), the Collegiate Church of Notre Dame (the old historical town center) and Place Carnot where the Parish Church used to stand.</p><p>The streets of Beaune have kept a number of houses and buildings that date back to those days, from Romanesque houses to 18th century private mansions. The town's past is also closely linked with religious life. Other than the Romanesque Clunisien style Collegiate Church of Notre Dame that dates back to the 12th & 13th century, a number of Abbeys and Convents still occupy a large proportion of the urban space.</p><p>Today, most of the buildings belong to wine merchants who have found an ideal location to store their wines. The Hospitaliers religious order also left their print in the town of Beaune with the most famous construction being the Hôtel-Dieu, built in a Franco-flemish style, and that dates back to the 15th century. There is a second Hôtel-Dieu named Hospice de la Charité that is a good example of 17th century architecture. </p><p><b>Hotel Dieu des Hospices de Beaune</b></p><p>The Hôtel-Dieu was a medieval hospital that featured vast halls for beds for the sick. Founded in 1443, the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune is a two-storied construction that occupies three sides of a courtyard. In one of its wards is a Museum dedicated to Rogier Van der Weyden's great Altarpiece - The Last Judgement that was commissioned by Nicolas Rolin, the last chancellor of the Burgundian Dukes and the hospital's builder.</p><p>The Hospital was built to help the persons who had suffered from famine and poverty after the Hundred Years War. As you visit, discover the kitchen, the pharmacy and the vast hall with its wooden beds and red curtains that maintain some kind of privacy. The Hospices is also famous for the wine auction it organizes each year with wine produced from 53 hectares of vineyards that were donated to the hospital through the centuries. This Charity Sale is held every year in November.</p><p><b>Basilique Notre Dame</b></p><p>Beaune, located on the way to Jerusalem, was a popular stop for all the pilgrims wanting to make their way towards the Holy Land. Because the number of pilgrims that pass through the town in the 12th century is considerable, the Dukes of Burgundy decided to build a larger Church than the existing one, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The beginning of the construction of Notre Dame Collegiate Church dates back to the second half of the 12th century. The architectural style of the Basilica was inspired by that of Cluny. The largest part of the Basilica is in the Romanesque style. </p><p>This sanctuary has kept rich furniture ranging from the Romanesque period to the 17th century. There are also important remains of 15th century wall paintings that you will discover during your visit. Notre-Dame de Beaune is known worldwide for its tapestries depicting Virgin Mary’s life; they are presented in the Basilica’s Choir.</p><p>This exceptional collection dates from the 16th century. The major events in Mary’s life are evoked in successive scenes. This set of tapestries was restored by the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune’s nuns in 1852.</p><p><b>Grosse Tour</b></p><p>Beaune is a fortified town located in the heart of the prestigious Burgundy wine region. One of the four towers built in the early 16th century, it is decorated on the boulevard side with the coat of arms of the governor of Burgundy, La Trémouille. It played a role in monitoring the plain by watching the Route de Verdun, the nearby Saone forming the frontier between the French kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire until 1678. </p><p>Thus the guard saw the arrival in 1569 of the 40,000 Germans answering Condé's call, and then in 1636 the army led by Gallas that ravaged, pillaged and set fire to the faubourgs. Purchased in 1891 by the Maison Calvet from Bordeaux, it was used by this wine merchant as a prestigious tasting room before being acquired by the municipality. Its roof is laid out as a pleasure garden.</p><p><b>Wine tasting Burgundy Wine in Beaune</b></p><p>Beaune is considered to be the Capital of Burgundy wines. If you would like to taste some wines as part of this guided walking tour, it is possible for us to organize a wine tasting session in one of the numerous wine cellars that are located within the town of Beaune. During a commented session, taste some of the most typical local red and whites wines that have made Burgundy such a famous wine region of France.</p>

[description] => <p>Described by Frommer’s as ‘one of the most attractive towns in Alsace’, Colmar is situated in east-central France, in a border region that was once disputed between France and Germany. The city is renowned for its well preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum with the Isenheim Altarpiece. Colmar is also one of the gateways to the Alsace Wine Route.</p><p>Colmar the capital of the Haut Rhin offers a great deal of unique attractions and activities. The small town of Colmar is one of the most exquisite of France with its historic center, grand rue, quai de la poissonnerie, st martin's church, medieval half timbered houses such as the “maison des tetes” and small winding canals. The town also houses one of the most impressive 16th century painting – the Issenheim Altarpiece - that is located in the Unterlinden Museum. </p><p><b>Visit Colmar with a licensed tour guide</b></p><p>Follow a 2 hour guided walking tour with an Expert English speaking licensed guide to discover all the main highlights this beautiful city has to offer. Departing from your hotel or the local Colmar Tourist Office and reach the historical center. </p><p>Discover the rich heritage of this charming small town. Your tour will certainly lead you to the “Maison des Tetes”, an outstanding German Renaissance building and to the Little Venice neighborhood where gorgeous traditional half timbered houses are lined along the Lauch River. </p><p>Other significant landmarks include:</p><p><b>The Koifhus: </b>This is the Old customs building strategically located at the crossroads of the Grand'Rue and the rue des Marchands. The building dates back to the early 15th century and was used as the meeting place of the deputies of the Décapole which was the federation of the 10 imperial cities of Alsace. </p><p><b>The Pfister House:</b> This is the first example of Renaissance architecture in Colmar. From the outside the building still retains some medieval features but its storey corner oriel, its galleries, its octagonal turret and its mural paintings are perfect examples of the changes that were taking place in those days. The house is named after the family who restored it in the last quarter of the 19th century. </p><p><b>Saint Martin church:</b> The construction of the Church lasted for more than 100 years from 1235 to 1365 and is a perfect example of local Gothic architecture. For a number of years the Church was considered by the locals as their Münster or Cathedral. In fact, the Church was a Cathedral for only about 10 years. </p><p>Note: We can include the visit and guided tour of the Unterlinden Museum that houses world famous Isenheim Altarpiece. If you would like to include the visit of the museum you must make that particular request at time of booking. Entrance tickets will be available during the booking process. </p>

[description] => <b>Experience the Finest Wines of Provence: Private Wine Tour with Expert Local Guide</b><p></p><p>Embark on a remarkable wine tasting journey with our private wine tour in Provence, guided by our English-speaking local expert who possesses in-depth knowledge of Provence wines. Whether you're a small or large group, our specially crafted wine tours cater to your preferences. Step into our premium air-conditioned vehicle and begin your immersive exploration of the renowned Provence wine region.</p><p><b>Indulge in Your Preferred Wine Style</b></p><p>Our private tours from Aix en Provence offer access to various wine appellations within the Provence region. Accompanied by your knowledgeable wine guide, discover the unique characteristics of the terroir and gain insights into the meticulous wine-making process as you explore the aging cellars.</p><p>Engage in private visits and tours, and delight in sampling a diverse selection of wines. Below, we present our curated selection of Provence Appellations that you can visit from Aix en Provence:</p><p><b>Coteaux d'Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Located furthest to the West among Provence wines, the vineyards of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence stretch from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Rhône Valley (West) to Sainte-Victoire Mountain (East). This appellation is renowned for its captivating reds and rosés. </p><p>The red wines offer a beautiful texture, ample with firm tannins that provide a structured and voluminous experience. Meanwhile, the rosé wines charm the palate with their roundness, aromatic depth, and a refreshing finish often accompanied by minerality.</p><p><b>Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire</b></p><p>Situated at the base of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the vineyards of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire thrive on poor yet quality soil consisting of limestone and clayey sandstone. These vineyards produce exceptional red wines ranging from delicate to robust and generous, as well as elegant rosés with subtle flavors.</p><p><b>Bandol</b></p><p>Nestled in a natural amphitheater, the Bandol vineyard stretches across terraces encompassing approximately 1,600 hectares. Protected by the massif of Sainte Baume to the North, this vineyard descends gracefully toward the sea, creating a magnificent amphitheater of wooded hills. Bandol wines predominantly feature the Mourvèdre variety, known as the king of the appellation, complemented harmoniously by Grenache and Cinsault. The red wines exemplify balance, while the rosés captivate with their roundness and generosity.</p><p><b>Cassis</b></p><p>Established as a Protected Appellation (AOP) in 1936, Cassis stands as one of the early vineyards in the region to receive this prestigious qualification. This picturesque village, composed of a single commune, holds the distinction of producing predominantly white wines, with at least 80% Marsanne. The Marsanne varietal contributes exquisite aromatics, finesse, and an elegant profile to the refreshing high-quality white wines of Cassis.</p><p><b>Châteauneuf du Pape</b></p><p>The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation, labeled as one of the first AOC wines of France in 1936, boasts a rich history dating back to the Roman era. This vineyard, expanded and developed during the 14th century by the Avignon Popes, showcases a remarkable soil composition. Explore the village and its ancient castle, the former summer residence of the Popes, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley.</p><p>All our full-day wine tours feature guided wine tastings at carefully selected wineries. During the booking process, you'll have the opportunity to specify your preferred Provence appellation. If you're undecided, simply select the 'Help me decide' option during the booking process, and our team will curate the perfect Provence wine tour tailored to your preferences.

[name] => Private Loire Valley Wine Tour: Chinon & Bourgueil Vineyards & Tastings
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => From the town of Tours, follow a Private Loire Valley Wine Tour. Discover the vineyards of Chinon and Bourgueil. Visit Chateau wineries and taste Loire Valley red, white and sparkling wines. Local guide, expert in Loire Valley wines.
[description] => <p><b>Embark on a Delightful Loire Valley Wine Tour with Expert English-Speaking Guide</b></p><p>Meet your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, an expert in the exquisite wines of the Loire Valley, particularly the Chinon and Bourgueil wine appellations. We'll start the morning by picking you up from your hotel or accommodation in Tours, ensuring a convenient and comfortable experience. Upon meeting your guide, they will provide you with an overview of the day's program and itinerary. Settle into our premium air-conditioned vehicle, designed for your utmost comfort, as we begin our journey to the captivating Loire Valley Wine Regions.</p><p><b>Indulge in Wine Tasting in the Chinon Wine Region </b></p><p>After a short scenic drive, we'll arrive at the Chinon wine-producing region. Known for its exceptional red wines crafted from Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, as well as its exquisite white wines made from Chenin Blanc, this region boasts around 200 esteemed wine producers who collectively produce approximately 12 million bottles per year. The light, sandy-gravel soils near the Vienne River impart a rounded and supple character to the Chinon wines, making them easy to drink. Meanwhile, wines grown in the denser soil of the limestone slopes exhibit a fuller body, robustness, and longer aging potential.</p><p>Upon arrival, we'll take you to one of our carefully selected wineries in the region. Here, you'll have the opportunity to savor a wide range of local wines through a guided tasting session. Our wine tours include insightful commentary on the wines, as well as explanations about the appellation and terroir associated with the wine region.</p><p><b>Enjoy Free Time for Lunch (at own expense) in Charming Chinon</b></p><p>After the morning's wine exploration, we'll head to the picturesque town of Chinon. Accompanied by your guide, take a leisurely stroll to discover the town's charms and embrace the ambiance. You'll have free time to explore and find the perfect spot for a delightful lunch (at your own expense). Feel free to seek recommendations from your guide, who can provide suggestions for exceptional lunch opportunities.</p><p><b>Discover the Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Wine Region</b></p><p>Following lunch, we'll venture to the renowned Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Wine Region in the Loire Valley. With winemaking traditions dating back to the 10th century, this area gained prominence for its outstanding wines in the 17th century. The vineyards of Bourgueil are situated on sandy gravel known as "graviers" and clay-limestone soil called "Tuffeau," which was also used in the construction of houses and castles in the region. These historic quarries now serve as cellars for aging wines.</p><p>Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil wines are predominantly red and crafted from the Cabernet Franc grape variety. Wines grown on sandy gravel soils exhibit fruitiness, delicacy, and lightness, ideal for early consumption. On the other hand, wines from vines planted in clay-limestone soils offer complexity, higher tannins, and the potential for aging, especially in exceptional vintages.</p><p><b>Experience Wine Tasting Sessions in Two Wineries</b></p><p>During the afternoon, we'll visit and indulge in wine tastings at two local wineries within the Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil appellation. After a brief introduction to the winery's history, you may have the opportunity to explore the vineyards and witness the current state of the vines, depending on the winery visited. Some wineries may also offer tours of their technical installations and aging cellars. Following the informative tour, you'll participate in a guided tasting session, sampling a variety of wines produced on-site. While red wines dominate the region, some wineries also offer tastings of rosé, white, and sparkling wines.</p><p><b>Conclude the Tour with a Return to Tours</b></p><p>After the delightful wine tasting session in the Bourgueil wine region, it will be time to return to Tours. Our professional services will conclude as we drop you off, marking the end of an enchanting Loire Valley wine tour. Should you desire an unforgettable day trip from Paris, this tour can also be arranged as an exceptional excursion from the capital.</p><p>Immerse yourself in the Loire Valley's rich wine heritage and captivating landscapes by booking this extraordinary tour today!</p>

[name] => Bordeaux to Armagnac: Private Day Trip with Distillery Tours & Tastings
[durationMinutes] => 540
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 10080
[shortDescription] => The World of Armagnac Commands Your Attention; visit vineyards and discover the best Armagnac brands such as Darroze, Delord, Larresingle or Dartigalongue. Tour of Armagnac Distilleries & tasting with local guide, expert in Brandy
[description] => <p><b>Discover The Delights Of The Distinctive Armagnac Brandy</b></p><p>Armagnac is a type of brandy distilled from wine made from a blend of grapes. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release. Today participate in a private tour to visit several family owned wineries where you will be shown and explained the distilling process followed by a comparative tasting. We will also have you visit one of the most traditional villages of the region.</p><p>After having picked you up from your centrally located accommodation in Bordeaux, let us take you to Gascony, one of the most delicious corners of France where Armagnac is produced. This full day tour will enchant those of you who wish to discover one of the most authentic areas of France. </p><p>Dotted with pristine medieval villages, blessed with delicious food & wines, the region has retained its rural heritage and traditions as if frozen in time. Unknown to most tourists, it is the perfect destination for those of you that wish to experience France off the beaten path.</p><p><b>First, A Visit To A Local Winery Of Bas-Armagnac region</b></p><p>Our first stop will be in one of the most famous Armagnac wine making estate. Armagnac is the oldest ‘eau-de-vie’ in France. Known since the mid 1400’s, it was the Dutch that made it popular under the distilled form that we can still taste today. </p><p>Upon arrival, begin the visit with an introduction to the history of the family. You will be explained how today, the owners roam the estates on the best terroirs, that of the Bas Armagnac and its tawny sands, to select, cultivate and bottle the most beautiful discoveries. </p><p>Around forty estates contribute to an extraordinary collection that complete and perfect their ageing in the family owned cellars. Then, take part in a commented tasting session so as to better understand what the ‘Grands Assemblages’ are all about.</p><p><b>Then, Discover The Village Of Labastide D’Armagnac</b></p><p>After your visit, head towards one of the most beautiful villages of the area. Labastide d’Armagnac was founded at the end of the 13th century by Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac, in a period when the region was under English rule. The village, built around the Place Royale, named in honor of the king of England, has maintained its architectural design and medieval fascination fully intact. </p><p>Categorized as a fortified village, constructed around a harmonious village square, bordered by colorful houses, arches, porticos and colonnades, Labastide d’Armagnac is recognized as one the best conserved of all the bastides. </p><p>Follow your guide as you stroll through the narrow streets of the village and are explained what a Bastide is all about and why these villages were built in those days. For lunch ask your guide for restaurant suggestions. This might be a good time to taste the local aperitif named Floc de Gascogne which is a mix of young wine with young Armagnac and needs to be served very fresh.</p><p><b>Finally, end the day with a final tasting</b></p><p>Only a short distance from Labastide d’Armagnac, Chateau Garreau is next on our itinerary. Here, the fertile soil, the century old cellars and amazing stills (dating from 1919) are just a few of the components that allow the winery to obtain an incomparable taste and personality to the Armagnacs produced. </p><p>Before tasting Armagnac, you will also have the opportunity to visit the winemakers & Alembic museums that house tools used in the vineyard and century old stills that are still in use today. After the visit and tasting, return to Bordeaux.</p>

[name] => From Trémolat to Prehistory Museum, Lascaux IV & Rouffignac Cave tour private
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 20160
[shortDescription] => A full Day Dedicated to Prehistory in the Dordogne, guided by an Expert of the Paleolithic times. From Trémolat, visit the National Prehistory Museum in Les Eysies followed by Lascaux IV Museum & cave. End the tour with Rouffignac.
[description] => <p><b>Pick up at your hotel or accommodation in Tremolat</b></p><p>Today, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Tremolat. Meet your English-speaking driver guide who will go over the program and itinerary of this highly recommended private full day tour that includes a stunning museum visit, a plunge into the depth of a real cave and a visit to the brand new Lascaux IV museum. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way towards the World Prehistory capital of Les Eyzies de Tayac.</p><p><b>Start with a Visit to the National Prehistory Museum</b></p><p>Some 15,000 years B.C. unknown artists created breathtaking paintings, drawings and etchings inside caves of which the most extraordinary examples are found in the Dordogne area. During this day you will be introduced to this fascinating art and to the people who created it.</p><p>Begin the day in Les Eyzies de Tayac for a guided visit of the National Prehistory Museum. Established in July 2004, the museum houses some 18,000 pieces and a collection of six million artifacts. The museum’s collections were established as early as 1913, when indefatigable researcher Denis Peyrony convinced the French state to acquire the Château des Eyzies, built at the end of the 16th century, and to transform it into an excavation warehouse that could double up as a museum. </p><p>The museum possesses the largest collection of prehistoric artifacts in the world. Follow your guide and discover the main chapters of the Hominids’ development through an anthropological frieze and a brief reminder of Africa’s history, starting with the early Australopithecus. </p><p>Many themes are explored, including the legendary “Lucy”, the 3.5-million-year-old woman discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. You will then visit the permanent exhibit galleries that will plunge you into the mists of time, revealing seven sequences that cover the entire Paleolithic era through an “ideal historiography”.</p><p><b>Free time for lunch in a local restaurant (at own expense)</b></p><p>Enjoy some free time for lunch in Montignac or a village of the Dordogne region. Ask your guide for recommendations.</p><p><b>Visit the Brand new Lascaux IV Cave Complex</b></p><p>Continue to Montignac where you will visit the brand new Lascaux IV cave – opened in December 2016. For the first time, all of Lascaux is revealed. A complete new replica retraces the discovery of the famous decorated cave. </p><p>But that’s not the end of the adventure: the entire site inquires into the position that Lascaux occupies in cave art and its relation to contemporary creation. The opening of the International Center for Cave Art marks the beginning of a new adventure combining the emotion of ancestral art and an important technological achievement. </p><p>Here, the reproduction of the original lascaux cave has been so precise that it would be difficult for even the most talented experts to find any flaws. Follow a guided tour with a local guide of the museum and then take some time to visit the exhibitions and the center for prehistoric cave art.</p><p><b>End with the Visit of Rouffignac Cave</b></p><p>Finally, end the tour with the visit of Rouffignac Cave that possesses state of the art original cave paintings as well as authentic etchings and drawings. The Rouffignac cave was already mentioned in 1575 by François de Belleforest. In his ” Cosmographie universelle” he cites “paintings and animal traces”. </p><p>In the 19th century, the cave was known as a tourist attraction. Famous archaeologists like Henri Breuil, André Glory and Martel had visited the cave in the early 20th century, but it was only in 1956 when Louis-René Nougier and Romain Robert, two prehistorians from the Pyrenees, rediscovered and confirmed the cave art. </p><p>As you arrive, board an electric train and descend a near 2 kilometers deep to admire the artwork located inside the cave. The small train makes a few stops in front of spectacular drawings and etchings. Finally, reach the bottom of the cave for a stop of a few minutes. Disembark the train and just a few steps away arrive and admire the ceiling of the cave where a large amount of drawings are present.</p><p>Usually isolated or organized in a frieze, here the 66 animal representations seem to have been placed in a disorganized way, swirling over a large suction funnel that leads to a well that allows an access to the second floor of the cave. Mammoths are omnipresent, Rhinoceros, Bisons as well as Horses make up the rest of the bestiary. More unusual, all the representations of Ibex are located here, completely absent from the rest of the cave. </p><p> After the visit, return to Tremolat</p>

[name] => Alsace's Finest: Private Grands Crus Wine Tour from Mulhouse
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 41760
[shortDescription] => Sample Famed and Delicious Alsace Wines on this small group private Alsace Grands Crus Wine Tour. Follow the Alsace Wine Route, visit vineyards and taste local Grands Crus Rieslings, Muscat, Sylvaner or Gewurztraminer white wines.
[description] => <p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Mulhouse. Meet your English speaking driver guide who will go over the program and itinerary of this private full day Alsace wine tour from Colmar. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the alsace vineyards. Alsatian wines, and more specifically the Grands Crus, are considered to be among the most delicious french wines.</p><b>Three Commented Grands Crus Wine Tastings</b><p>The Grand Crus of Alsace were created in 1975 and feature 51 classified areas defined according to strict geological and climatic criteria. The designation is attributed to wines satisfying a number of quality-related criteria: strict limitations on terroir, highly restricted yields, specific rules of conduct regarding the vines, minimal natural ripeness levels and taste . The appellation Alsace Grand Cru recognizes the most exceptional terroirs, which impart to the wines an expressive character and a unique authenticity. The size of these exceptional vineyards varies between 3 and 80 hectares. Only 4 grape varieties can be used to produce Alsace Grands Crus wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat (Alsace variety). Discover these unique Grands Crus wines during an exceptional day out in the Alsace wine region.</p><p>This private full day wine tour has been crafted so that you may have the privilege of tasting some of the most outstanding Alsace white wines. Your wine tour in Alsace will first take you to the Ribeauvillé wine producing region. Here, taste fabulous Rieslings that originate from the Kirchberg (marl and sandstone), Geisberg (marly limestone) and Osterberg (calcareous marl)Grands Crus. The hallmark of Ribeauvillé wines is their minerality. In fact, while most Grand Cru Rieslings have 1.5 g solids/liter, Ribeauvillé wines often reach 2.5 g/liter. Some of the most famous wine makers that produce these Grands Crus include Trimbach or Louis Sipp.</p><p>Then, move on to discover a most unique and confidential Grand Cru: Kaefferkopf (literally ‘beetle head’). Divided into several sectors of the charming little town of Ammerschwihr, this Grand Cru is characterized by a complex geological substratum, combining granite on its upper parts with shelly limestone and sandstone lower down. Depending on availability, it will also be the moment to discover biodynamic wine making (a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming, but which includes various esoteric concepts) in wineries such as Domaine de Weinbach or Domaine JB Adam.</p><p>Finally reach the southern part of the Alsace wine route and discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Steinart, Goldert or Hatschbourg. It is in this part of the wine region that you will discover local Muscat. Alsace Muscat is distinguished from the sweet Muscats of the South of France by its dry character. Extremely aromatic, it expresses wonderful flavors of fresh fruit. We will also have you taste some exceptional Gerwurtztraminers that originate in the Hatschbourg Grand Cru. These are full-bodied wine, with solid structure and a round fullness. In tasting these wines, one rediscovers the complete aromatic palette, often with the addition of liquorice. Harvested very ripe, “late harvest” and “Selection de Grains Nobles” Gewurztraminers ranging from sweet to viscous, possess exceptional richness and extraordinary aromatic complexity.</p><p></p><p>This full day private tour is also adapted to travelers that wish to take in the best of the Alsace region as we will cross many beautiful villages and your driver guide will always have a few words about the traditions and culture of Alsace. We also organise other wine tours that are more an introduction to the wines of Alsace and that include tastings of other grape varieties such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.</p><p></p><p></p>

[name] => WWII Alsace Memorial Sights Private Tour : A Solemn Tribute
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => A WWII historical insight in a long-disputed region on this full day small group private day trip from Colmar. Visit the brand new Alsace Moselle WWII Memorial Museum and the Struthof concentration camp.
[description] => <p><b>Explore the Historical Legacy: Full-Day Tour from Colmar</b></p> <p>Embark on an insightful journey through history as you discover the compelling highlights of the Alsace region on this full-day tour. Your morning begins with a convenient pickup from your centrally located accommodation in Colmar, where you will meet your knowledgeable English-speaking driver/guide. Together, you will review the program and itinerary for the day before boarding your premium air-conditioned vehicle.</p> <p><b>Visit the Alsace-Moselle WWII Memorial Museum</b></p> <p>Delve into the intricate history of Alsace and Moselle, particularly during the tumultuous period of the Second World War, at the Alsace-Moselle Memorial. This memorial stands as a testament to the collective efforts of the region, aiming to shed light on the complex experiences endured during the Nazi occupation. From 1940 to 1945, Alsace and Moselle faced the harsh reality of being the only French territories annexed by the Third Reich, enduring the brutalities of a totalitarian regime.</p> <p>To truly comprehend the agony, it is essential to trace the historical footsteps of a region fiercely contested by France and Germany. The enduring struggle has shaped the culture and heritage of Alsace and Moselle, enriching their identity. The memorial provides a comprehensive history lesson accessible to all, emphasizing the importance of European unity, diversity, and the utmost respect and dignity for every individual in the pursuit of peace and freedom.</p> <p><b>Reach the Natzweiler-Struthof Concentration Camp</b></p> <p>Journey to the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp, situated near the village of Struthof. As the only concentration camp in France during the Nazi occupation, it holds profound historical significance. The central camp, located in the annexed Alsace region, was part of a network of approximately 70 camps spread across both sides of the Rhine.</p> <p>Within the KL-Natzwiller complex, nearly 52,000 detainees were held, with around 35,000 not passing through the central camp. Serving as a labor camp supporting the Nazi war industry, it also became a site for horrific medical experiments conducted by professors from the Reich University of Strasbourg.</p> <p>On November 23, 1944, the Allies discovered the evacuated camp, as the Nazis had fled in September. Tragically, some deportees from the camp's annexes suffered through the "Death Marches" in the spring of 1945. Throughout its existence from 1941 to 1945, KL-Natzwiller stood as one of the most deadly camps within the Nazi system, claiming the lives of nearly 22,000 deportees.</p> <p><b>Conclude Your Tour and Return to Colmar</b></p> <p>After this poignant exploration of history, your tour concludes, and you will be transported back to Colmar. Reflect upon the profound lessons learned from the past, carrying with you a deep appreciation for the importance of remembrance and preserving the values of peace and humanity.</p> <p></p>

Opt for a walking tour of the historic center, where you'll visit iconic landmarks such as the Amphitheater, the Antique Theater, and Saint Trophime Church.</p><p><b>The Roman City & Sites</b></p><p>If you're fascinated by history and culture, this option is perfect for you. Arles underwent a significant urban transformation after the establishment of the Roman Colony of Arelate in 46 BC. Many of the Roman monuments in Arles date back to the 1st century. The Roman Amphitheater, constructed in the late 1st century, is larger than its counterpart in Nîmes and could accommodate up to 25,000 spectators. The Antique Theater, requested by Emperor Auguste, could hold up to 10,000 spectators at once and remains one of the best-preserved theaters in France. Explore these ancient sites and learn about their historical significance, including the discovery of the famous Venus of Arles during early archaeological excavations.</p><p><b>The Roman Forum</b></p><p>Discover the Roman Forum of Arles, situated at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis). While only two fragments of the Forum remain, its foundations are of particular interest, as they are built on a cryptoporticus—a covered corridor or passageway. In Arles, the cryptoporticus might have served as a barracks for public slaves, although it was too damp for long-term storage purposes.</p><p><b>On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh</b></p><p>Art enthusiasts will delight in this option, which delves into the life of Vincent Van Gogh during his time in Arles from February 1888 to May 1889. Van Gogh created approximately 300 paintings and drawings during his stay. Follow your guide through the town of Arles as they point out the locations where the artist set up his easel, marked by panels depicting his famous works. For an enhanced experience, consider adding tickets to the Arles Van Gogh Foundation during the booking process.</p><p><b>Saint-Rémy de Provence</b></p><p>En route to the charming village of St Remy, enjoy a photo stop at the Plateau des Antiques to admire the Roman triumphal arch and mausoleum. Visit Saint-Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh stayed for a year. This former lunatic asylum is where the artist sought refuge after his breakdown in December 1888, which famously resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear. It was during his stay here that he created some of his most renowned works, including "The Starry Night." Upon arrival in Saint Remy de Provence, explore one of the prettiest villages in the area, known for its picturesque squares and as a summer retreat for chic Parisians. Enjoy free time for personal discovery and lunch, and be sure to visit the vibrant Provence Market held on Wednesdays.</p><p><b>Les Baux de Provence</b></p><p>Continue your journey to the Alpilles mountain region, celebrated for its vineyards and olive trees. Arrive at the medieval hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, perched on a rocky spur and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Provence countryside. Take advantage of free time to wander through the narrow streets, explore art galleries, and discover the remnants of the 10th-century fortress. Don't miss the extraordinary Carrières de Lumières, a unique light and sound show in Europe housed within an ancient limestone quarry. Marvel at the captivating visuals projected onto the massive 14-meter high limestone walls, creating a truly immersive experience.</p><p>At the heart of the Alpilles, Les Baux de Provence's historic site and former quarries, dating back to Roman times, transport visitors into a magical world of entrancing images and music. The Carrières de Lumières, once a source of white limestone for the construction of Les Baux and its citadel, now presents a captivating multimedia spectacle.</p><p>After your visit to Les Baux de Provence village, we will conclude the tour and return to Aix en Provence, marking the end of our services. Book now to embark on a memorable full-day private tour, immersing yourself in the enchanting towns and authentic beauty of Provence.</p><p> </p>

Our English-speaking local guide, an expert in the region's history and famous castles, will meet you at your hotel in Tours. Once acquainted, your guide will discuss the day's program and itinerary. Hop aboard our premium air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable ride along the enchanting Loire Valley Chateau Route.</p><p><b>Guided Tour of Château de Chambord</b></p><p>Embark on an unforgettable adventure as we head to Château de Chambord, our first destination of the day. This splendid Loire Valley castle is renowned for its breathtaking beauty. Within just a short one-hour drive, we'll arrive at the magnificent Château de Chambord, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981.</p><p>Nestled in the heart of France's Sologne region, King Francis 1 (François 1er) commissioned the construction of Château de Chambord in the early 16th century as a hunting lodge. Although not intended as a permanent residence, this architectural masterpiece exemplifies the Italian Renaissance style, reflecting the king's ambition to impress foreign dignitaries and showcase his power.</p><p>The castle features a central keep surrounded by four majestic bastion towers. With over 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases, Chambord is an architectural marvel. Its iconic double helix staircase, believed to be inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, serves as the castle's central axis. Ascending three floors without ever meeting, the two helices are illuminated from above by a lighthouse-like structure at the highest point of the chateau. Don't miss the opportunity to marvel at the intricate masonry work and the ornate roof, which distinguishes Château de Chambord.</p><p>Although King Francis 1 never saw the completion of the castle, it was finished during the reign of King Louis XIV (the Sun King). Due to its sheer size, maintaining Château de Chambord has been a challenge over the years. After passing through various owners, it was eventually acquired by the French State in 1930, becoming its sole owner.</p><p>Upon arrival, follow your knowledgeable guide on a comprehensive tour of the castle. Explore the main rooms, marvel at the famous double spiral staircase, and ascend to the terraces, where you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding area. The guided tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours, providing ample time to immerse yourself in the rich history and architectural grandeur of Chambord Castle.</p><p>After the guided tour, enjoy some free time to further explore the captivating Château de Chambord at your own pace. Our journey will conclude with a return to Tours, where we bid you farewell, marking the end of our exceptional services.</p><p>Book your unforgettable Loire Valley Chateaux tour today and embark on an enchanting adventure through France's iconic castles!</p><p></p>

The highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of 1,493 meters (4,898 feet). The name Black Forest comes from the general dark color of the numerous pine trees that grow in this region. The Black Forest cake and the cuckoo clocks originate from this region. </p><p>The most popular destination of Germany, drive through surprising landscapes with spruce forest in the North, Vines in the central area and lakes and mountain peaks in the south. Follow the scenic route of the Black Forest passing small quaint mountain villages that border one of the most beautiful lakes of the area</p><p>The Black Forest is also known to have been the setting for the Brother Grimm Fairy tale of Hansel & Gretel. This is also the birthplace of the world renowned cuckoo clocks. During the day your guide will make different stops so that you can make the best out of this attractive destination. </p><p>You might also want to try the local food such as the cured meats or the world-famous Black Forest cake that leaves nobody indifferent! </p><p>If you are interested in the local wines produced here, it is possible for us to organize a wine tasting session in a carefully selected winery of the area. You can also ask your guide who can arrange for a wine tasting during the day if you inform him in the morning.</p><p>After the tour, return to Mulhouse.</p><p> </p>

[shortDescription] => Enjoy a private day trip from Caen to charming Normandy towns and villages ending with a tasting of local apple brandy known as Calvados. Visit the port town of Honfleur, the beautiful village of Beuvron en Auge and taste delicious Calvados
[description] => <p>Depart on a highly recommended Normandy small group day tour to discover some of the most charming sites of the area. At first, you will be picked up by your English speaking driver/guide at your accommodation in Caen or surrounding area. Here, your tour guide will introduce you to the program of the day and retrace the itinerary. Then, board your comfortable A/C minivan and head for the town of Honfleur.</p><p><b>Visit the Charming small Town of Honfleur</b></p><p>Enjoy a private guided walking tour of Honfleur to discover the most important landmarks this charming small town of France has to offer.</p><p>Located on the Seine Estuary close to Le Havre and the incredible 'Pont de Normandie' bridge, the small port town of Honfleur is one of the most beautiful of the area with its historical center and vieux bassin port and marina. </p><p>The historical town center still retains stunning half timbered houses, old cobbled stone streets that are located around Sainte Catherine church. The church itself is quite surprising as it has a double roof nearly all made out of wood. </p><p>Dating back to the 15th century, the church was built by ship builders explaining why the vaulting of the two naves resemble the hulls of ships. Honfleur is also home to famous museums such as the Eugene Boudin museum dedicated to the 19th century painter who originates from Honfleur. Located on Erik Satie square, the museum is home to more than 100 art works of Boudin but also includes paintings from Courbet, Monet, Lebourg, Dufy and many more.</p><p><b>Then discover one of the most beautiful villages of France</b></p><p>After the visit of Honfleur, you will have some time for personal discovery as well as lunch. Then, your private tour will head towards your next destination of the day, the small village of Beuvron en Auge. </p><p>Rated as one of the most beautiful villages of France (plus beaux villages de France), this village can be considered as a picture perfect postcard of a traditional Normandy Village in one of the most beautiful areas of the region, the Pays d'Auge. </p><p>Stronghold of the d'Harcourt family, on the Cider and Calvados trails, its half timbered houses, old covered market and surrounding manor houses make it a treat to discover. Here you will have some time to stroll through the village on your own for personal discovery.</p><p><b>End the day with a commented tasting of Apple Brandy</b></p><p>Finally, reach a local Calvados distillery located in the heart of the Pays d'Auge.

[destination_short_description] => One of the two most important towns of Normandy, Caen is known to be William the Conqueror's hometown and is where he and his wife Matilda of Flanders had two great Abbeys built. Even though most of the town was destroyed during the 2nd World War, some of the great monuments have survived and the historic center was well restored making the town an attractive destination.
[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Caen Travel Guide (Normandy, France)</h2>
<p>Caen is a perfect location if you want to discover the major highlights that the Normandy region has to offer. Within the city there are a number of monuments to visit such as Abbaye aux Dames and Abbaye aux Hommes, the Vaugueux neighbourhood, the Marina and the WWII Memorial museum with its fascinating D-Day exhibit;</p>
<p><strong><span class="_highlight">A bit of history</span></strong></p>
<p>There is not much known about Caen before the early 11th century. It is with William the Conqueror that the city really begins to be mentionned. He will have a fortress built as well as the famous Saint Stephen and Trinity Abbeys. The town became the possession of the King of France Philippe-Auguste in 1204 but the town fell back into English hand during the 100 years War. The town will remain English until 1450.</p>
<p>After a series of plague pandemics, the town was shaked by the war of Religions between Catholics and Protestants. The latter took the town and devastated the Abbeys and Churches. After the Edict of Amboise of 1563 the fighting eventually stopped.</p>
<p>The next most important event in the history of Caen takes place on June 6th 1944. After the Normandy landings, Caen is one of the main objectives of the Allied Forces. According to the original plans, the city was to be liberated on the first day but that did not happen. The town will not be liberated until August of 1944 and in just a month of intense bombing that town has lost nearly 70% of its buildings.</p>

[shortDescription] => Marseille small group private day tour to a stunning region of Provence: The Luberon. Visit beautiful villages including Gordes, Roussillon or Lourmarin. Admire the scenery and taste local Provence rosé wines on this private tour.
[description] => <p>Embark on a vibrant private day trip from Marseille to visit the most beautiful villages of the Luberon. Let our Expert local guides introduce you to one of the most stunning regions of Provence.</p><p><b>Pick up at your Hotel in Marseille</b></p><p>Today we will come and pick you up at your Hotel in Marseille. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this private tour. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the Luberon villages of Provence.</p><p>There are a number of villages that can be visited on this full day trip from Marseille. Below is our selection of Villages du Luberon that are worth a stop. It will be your driver/guide on the day of your tour that will go over this selection with you.</p><p>Depending on your wishes, your Expert guide will adapt the itinerary to your wishes. You will also have some free time in most villages so that you may explore on your own and lunch will be taken at your own expense in one of the villages on the way.</p><p><b>Our selection of Luberon Villages:</b></p><p><b>Gordes</b></p><p>Gordes is without a doubt the most famous of all Luberon villages. The downside to this is the high number of visitors that come to visit the village so we advise that if you do choose to visit this village, you should go there immediately so as to arrive early.</p><p>Classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France and facing the Luberon mountain range, the village is composed of small paved streets, known as calades, where it feels so nice to get lost in. To mostly appreciate this unique village, magic operates in spring and autumn as summer is very crowded by the number of visitors.</p><p><b>Lourmarin</b></p><p>The village of Lourmarin is quite unique. As you stroll the winding streets, the architecture in the village reveals its many riches: from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, from Classicism to the 19th century, the houses in Lourmarin highlight the incomparable know-how of those builders often little known to the general public. </p><p>Located in a gorgeous setting that is surrounded by olive and almond trees, the village has attracted numerous artists and writers such Henri Bosco and Albert Camus. Again, enjoy some time in the village where options include the visit of its ancient castle. The village was the source of inspiration for Peter Mayle’s “A year in Provence”.</p><p><b>Roussillon</b></p><p>The village of Roussillon is a typical hilltop village located just above a rock formation called the “Provencal Colorado“. Here, you will have some time for personal discovery that will allow you to stroll down the village or walk along the “ochre cliffs path", a 30 minute walk.</p><p><b>Bonnieux</b></p><p>The architecture of Bonnieux, papal town for about 500 years, testifies to the prestige of its inhabitants over the centuries: ecclesiastical dignitaries, counts, lords... up until the modern times of the 19th century. The village has kept all its authenticity, its steep sloping streets, its fountains and washhouses, its old church - or upper church, a mix of Romanesque and Gothic</p><p>As Provence Specialists, please note that we also conduct private tours, shore excursions, wine tasting tours departing from Toulon. Other important destinations to discover provence include the town of Aix en Provence, the Pont du Gard, the village of Les Baux de Provence, Chateauneuf du Pape for the wines, Van Gogh tours, the lavender fields, l'Isle sur la Sorgue River and village and so much more. For more information please contact our reservations team.</p><p><b>Provence Wine Tasting</b></p><p>On this private tour from Marseille, it is also possible to include a wine tasting session of Provence Wines. During the booking process, it will be possible for you to choose the number of villages in the Luberon that you would like to include. If you would like to include a wine tasting session, please only select the visit of 2 villages so that we have time to include the winery visit. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

Listen to your tour guide explain the local culture & history as your small group begins to admire some of the most stunning landscapes of the area.</p><p><b>Begin with the Bastide village of Domme</b></p><p>Today discover the breathtaking landscape and traditional medieval villages of the Dordogne valley. First, drive to the beautiful village of Domme. With its trapezoid city plan, Domme is a bastide (a fortified medieval town) adapted to the surrounding terrain, and thus falling short of the rectangular city plan characteristic to Bastides.</p><p>The village is classified as one of the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” (“The Most Beautiful Villages of France”). In 1307, Knight Templars were imprisoned in Domme while during the Hundred Years’ War, the town was coveted by the English who first took it in 1347 and repeatedly changed rulers throughout the war until 1437 when it finally fell under French rule again.</p><p><b>Enjoy a peaceful boat ride</b></p><p>Then drive to La Roque Gageac and enjoy a peaceful cruise on the Dordogne River on board an authentic Gabarre to admire mighty castles that line the river (optional). The boat ride lasts about one hour and comes highly recommended. The Gabarres are traditional flat-bottomed boats that have been used for transporting goods along the Dordogne since the Middle Ages. </p><p>A trip on one of the Gabarres offers a relaxing way to enjoy the sight of some of the many Dordogne chateaux and villages from the perspective of the river. Various sights and wildlife are pointed out to you as you meander slowly down the river as well as the history of the Gabarres. </p><p>If you are not interested in a boat ride, we will have you discover the village & Gardens of La Roque Gageac that benefit from micro-climate conditions and where local vegetation stands alongside more exotic plants such as Banana trees, agave and Bougainvillea flowers.</p><p><b>Visit the Castle of Beynac</b></p><p>Reach Beynac to admire the village and visit the Castle. This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River. The castle was built in the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of Périgord) to close the valley.</p><p>The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defenses were built up on the plateau: double crenelated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</p><p><b>End the tour at Château des Milandes</b></p><p>Your final visit will be at Château des Milandes. Construction of the Castle took place in 1489 and was to be the residence of Claude de Cardaillac, wife of François de Caumont. During the French Revolution, the castle is sold and in 1890 a fire partially damages the building. In 1947, the property is bought by Joséphine Baker, an American artist, who will live here with her adopted children. As you visit the castle, you will learn about the life of Josephine Baker, her time as a leading dancer at Paris Cabaret 'Folies Bergère' or as a resistance fighter during WWII. Josephine was also the only woman to speak at the Washington March alongside Martin Luther King.</p><p>The Castle is also famous for its Gardens, listed as a Historical Monumnet, that have been totally renovated. Redesigned in the early 1900's by Jules Vacherot who was the head Gardener for the City of Paris at that time, a number of projects have resized the Gardens since 2003.</p><p>After the visit of Milandes Castle, it will be time to return to Trémolat.</p>

[description] => <p>Dijon's history is a tapestry woven with centuries of cultural, architectural, and historical significance. As the capital of the Burgundy region in France, the city boasts a rich heritage that dates back to Roman times and has shaped its identity over the ages. Follow a commented walking tour with an expert licensed tour guide. Visit the most emblematic monuments and lesser known cultural attractions this city has to offer.</p><p><b>Roman Origins: </b></p><p>Dijon's history can be traced back to Roman times when it was known as "Divio." It served as a strategic crossroads and was established as a key settlement due to its location on the trade route between Lyon and Paris. The city's early development was influenced by Roman architecture and urban planning, which can still be glimpsed in some of its structures.</p><p><b>Medieval and Renaissance Glory:</b></p><p>Dijon flourished during the medieval and Renaissance periods, becoming the seat of the powerful Dukes of Burgundy. The Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne (Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy) stands as a remarkable example of this era's architectural grandeur. The palace, characterized by its Gothic style, intricate sculptures, and rich ornamentation, served as both a residence and a symbol of the ducal authority.</p><p><b>Cultural Center: </b></p><p>Throughout its history, Dijon has been a hub of culture, learning, and creativity. The city was home to the renowned Dijon School of Painting during the 14th and 15th centuries, contributing to the development of artistic expression. The University of Burgundy, founded in the 18th century, added to Dijon's intellectual prominence and legacy.</p><p><b>Modern Times: </b></p><p>In more recent history, Dijon played a significant role during the French Revolution. The city embraced revolutionary ideals and became a focal point for revolutionary activities in the region. Dijon's rich history is also intertwined with the growth of the wine industry in Burgundy, which has contributed to the city's reputation as a culinary and viticultural destination.</p><p><b>Architectural Marvels:</b></p><p>Dijon's architectural landscape features a mix of styles, from Romanesque and Gothic to Renaissance and neoclassical. The city's churches, including the Notre-Dame de Dijon Cathedral and the Church of Saint-Michel, showcase stunning examples of religious architecture. The half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and well-preserved historic districts offer a glimpse into the past.</p><p><b>Culinary Heritage:</b></p><p>Dijon is synonymous with Dijon mustard, a condiment that originated in the city in the 18th century. The local gastronomy, deeply rooted in Burgundian traditions, offers a delightful array of flavors. The region's wines, particularly its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are celebrated globally.</p><p>Dijon's history continues to shape its vibrant present. The city's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing modernity has resulted in a captivating blend of the old and the new. From its architectural treasures to its cultural diversity, Dijon invites visitors to explore its storied past and immerse themselves in the unique ambiance that defines this remarkable French city.</p>

[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => Provence Small Group Private Full Day trip from Marseille to visit Arles & beautiful Provence villages. Discover the Roman city of Arles and follow the footsteps of Van Gogh. Visit Saint Rémy & Les Baux de Provence villages.
[description] => <p>Experience a private full day guided tour from Marseille to the town of Arles and the authentic Provence villages of Saint-Remy and Les Baux de Provence.</p><p>Explore 3 stunning gems on this full day tour to Arles, listed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site because of the number of Roman Monuments, the village of Saint-Rémy de Provence, where Van Gogh lived for a year and the village of Les Baux de Provence medieval village.</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Marseille. We can also pick up from a centrally located meeting point if you are staying in a rental accommodation. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Then board your premium A/C vehicle and begin your private tour led by a local guide.</p><p><b>Arles Town Visit</b></p><p>Upon arrival in Arles, it is possible to choose from different types of walking tours of this charming small town. Discover the Historic city of Arles, a fortified town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Participate in a walking tour of the historic center to visit the most emblematic monuments of the town including the Amphitheater, the Antique Theater or Saint Trophime church.</p><p><b>The Roman City & Sites</b></p><p>If History and Culture are of interest, then this option is the one you should choose. Arles underwent an urban revolution following the foundation of the Roman Colony of Arelate in 46 BP. Most of the Roman monuments that can be visited in Arles date back to the 1st Century though. The Roman Amphitheater was built at the end of the 1st century to the North of the town.</p><p>It is part of a general extension of Arles and was built at the same period of time as the baths. It is larger than the one located in Nîmes and could welcome up to 25.000 spectators. Antique Games will be held within until the fall of the Roman Empire.</p><p>The building of the Antique Theatre was requested by Emperor Auguste. It could welcome up to 10.000 spectators at a time. Only part of the Theater remains but it is still one of the most well preserved in France.</p><p>Used as a Theater until the beginning of the 5th century, it was then used as a quarry for the construction of the paleo-christian church of Saint Stephen. In the 17th century the famous Venus of Arles was discovered during early archeological digs.</p><p><b>The Roman Forum</b></p><p>Located at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis), the Roman Forum of Arles is made up of a great square of which only two fragments still exist. What is interesting about the Forum in Arles are the foundations as it is built on a cryptoporticus, which is a covered corridor or passageway.</p><p>The cryptoporticus were known to be used as storage areas in other towns but the one in Arles is, however, too damp for prolonged storage and may have served as a barracks for public slaves.</p><p><b>On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh</b></p><p>If you are attracted to painting and wish to learn a bit more about the life of Van Gogh in Arles, then this option is perfect. During his stay in Arles between February 1888 and May 1889, Vincent Van Gogh executed about 300 paintings and drawings. The places in the city where the artist set up his easel are marked with panels representing his paintings. </p><p>During this tour, your guide will take through the town of Arles on the footsteps of Van Gogh to show you the setting of where some of the most famous paintings of the artist were done. To enhance this tour, it is also possible to purchase the tickets to the Arles Van Gogh Foundation during the booking process.</p><p><b>Saint-Rémy de Provence</b></p><p>Along the way, before reaching the small village of St Remy, enjoy a photo stop on the Plateau des Antiques to admire the Roman triumphal arch and Mausoleum. Visit Saint-Paul de Mausole where Van Gogh stayed a year. This lunatic asylum is where the artist voluntarily admitted himself after his breakdown in December 1888 that resulted in the self mutilation of his left ear. It is during his stay here that he will achieve some of his most famous paintings including the starry night.</p><p>Arrive in Saint Remy de Provence, one of the prettiest villages of the area. The village is known to be a summer hot spot for chic parisians, yet it is still possible to find some quiet areas within the village, as there are many small squares scattered all over. After the visit, free time for personal discovery and lunch. For your information, there is a beautiful Provence Market on Wednesdays.</p><p><b>Les Baux de Provence</b></p><p>Drive to the Alpilles mountain region that is famous for its vineyards and olive trees. Reach the medieval hilltop village of les Baux-de-Provence built on a rocky spur and from where you will have a breathtaking view of the surrounding Provence Countryside. Enjoy some free time to stroll and explore the narrow streets, Art galleries and the remains of a 10th century fortress.</p><p>Visit the Carrières de Lumières, a unique light and sound show in Europe located in an ancient limestone quarry (entrance ticket can be purchased during the booking process) where the natural 14 meter high limestone walls act like giant screens.</p><p>In the historic site of Les Baux de Provence in the heart of the Alpilles, the former quarries dug out by the hands of man since the Roman era today offer the visitor a magical world of entrancing images and music.</p><p>From these quarries was extracted the white limestone used to build Les Baux and its citadel. In the 19th century, industrial development increased the demand for building stone and des Baux exploited a large number of quarries, including the Grands Fonds, today the Carrières de Lumières.</p><p>After the visit of Les Baux de Provence village, we will return to Marseille and that will be the end of our services.</p>

[name] => History & Beauty: Mont Saint-Michel Private Tour from Caen
[durationMinutes] => 540
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 20160
[shortDescription] => From Caen, enjoy a full day trip to one of France’s most iconic monuments. Visit Mont Saint Michel with your own private guide. Small Group tour including visit of Mont Saint Michel Abbey. English speaking guide, expert of Normandy.
[description] => <p>The Mont Saint Michel is a rocky island off the coast of Normandy, on the English Channel, and is one of the best Normandy private tours you can choose. It is located about 1 kilometer from the shore and sits in a bay that sees some of the biggest tides in Europe. A few years ago, it was linked to the mainland by a bridge that gets flooded during high tides a few times a year only.</p><p><b>Pick up at your accommodation in Caen or the surrounding area</b></p><p>Today, we will come and pick you up at your accommodation located in Caen or in the surrounding area. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Then, board your comfortable, air conditioned vehicle and begin your private full day tour to Mont Saint Michel from Caen, a Unesco World Heritage listed Site.</p><p><b>Completion of the abbey took hundreds of years </b></p><p>The first church was built on the mount in 709 at the request of Archangel Michael. A couple hundred years later, a small group of Benedictines settled there permanently and the church was enlarged. The first monastery was carved in the rock in the 11th century and gradually got bigger and bigger over the following centuries. In the medieval time, it quickly became an important destination for pilgrims, just like Santiago de Compostela in Spain.</p><p>The construction of the abbey as we know it nowadays was finished in the 13th and 14th centuries, and the grand chancel was replaced in the 15th century. Those hundreds of years of architectural prowess have left us with a magnificent monument, now referred as the “Wonder of the Western World”.</p><p><b>Visit of Unesco World Heritage Site of Mont Saint Michel</b></p><p>During your Mont St Michel day trip, you will start by traveling from Bayeux to the Mont Saint Michel, which you will access via a shuttle (scheduled departures) and the bridge in accordance with local requirements. While on the road, make sure to take it all in and observe the beauty of the Normandy landscape. Locally, the Mount has always been in the middle of a feud between Normandy and Brittany as to in which region the site belongs to.</p><p>Our Mont Saint Michel tour from Bayeux will then take you to the abbey itself, at the very top of the mount where the Benedictine Abbey is located. Follow your knowledgeable guide During this walking tour, the history of its construction will be explained in detail and while you are there, make sure to snap some pictures of the amazing views on the surrounding bay! Follow a guided tour of the Mont Saint Michel Abbey and then enjoy some free time for personal discovery and lunch.</p><p><b>The Mont Saint Michel is also a lively small town, boasting dozens of shops, restaurants and museums</b></p><p>After the visit of the abbey, our guide will set you free to explore the town at your own pace and bring back some souvenirs for friends and family. Your guide will also suggest some great restaurants for lunch. Of course, if you still have some questions about the history or the architecture of the Mont Saint Michel, your private guide will remain available for you.</p><p>This Mont Saint Michel private tour can take in small groups of 2 to 8 persons maximum. The tour takes place in a recent and fully equipped Mercedes minivan. A certified, English-speaking guide will be with you all day and ready to answer any questions you may have.</p><p>After the tour, it will be time to head back to your accommodation in Caen.</p><p></p><p></p>

[destination_short_description] => One of the two most important towns of Normandy, Caen is known to be William the Conqueror's hometown and is where he and his wife Matilda of Flanders had two great Abbeys built. Even though most of the town was destroyed during the 2nd World War, some of the great monuments have survived and the historic center was well restored making the town an attractive destination.
[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Caen Travel Guide (Normandy, France)</h2>
<p>Caen is a perfect location if you want to discover the major highlights that the Normandy region has to offer. Within the city there are a number of monuments to visit such as Abbaye aux Dames and Abbaye aux Hommes, the Vaugueux neighbourhood, the Marina and the WWII Memorial museum with its fascinating D-Day exhibit;</p>
<p><strong><span class="_highlight">A bit of history</span></strong></p>
<p>There is not much known about Caen before the early 11th century. It is with William the Conqueror that the city really begins to be mentionned. He will have a fortress built as well as the famous Saint Stephen and Trinity Abbeys. The town became the possession of the King of France Philippe-Auguste in 1204 but the town fell back into English hand during the 100 years War. The town will remain English until 1450.</p>
<p>After a series of plague pandemics, the town was shaked by the war of Religions between Catholics and Protestants. The latter took the town and devastated the Abbeys and Churches. After the Edict of Amboise of 1563 the fighting eventually stopped.</p>
<p>The next most important event in the history of Caen takes place on June 6th 1944. After the Normandy landings, Caen is one of the main objectives of the Allied Forces. According to the original plans, the city was to be liberated on the first day but that did not happen. The town will not be liberated until August of 1944 and in just a month of intense bombing that town has lost nearly 70% of its buildings.</p>

[shortDescription] => From the village of Saint Emilion, one of our best private wine tours in Bordeaux to the vineyards of Graves & Sauternes. Visit emblematic wineries & taste delicious Bordeaux red, white and sweet white wines. Local guide, expert in wines.
[description] => <span><p><strong>Private Graves & Sauternes Wine Tour from Saint-Emilion – Full-Day Experience</strong></p><p><strong>Personalized Pick-Up from Your Saint-Emilion Accommodation</strong></p><p>Begin your exclusive Bordeaux wine adventure with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or accommodation in Saint-Emilion. Meet your English-speaking driver-guide, a local expert in Bordeaux wines. They will review the day’s itinerary and ensure everything is tailored to your preferences. Afterward, settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and embark on a scenic journey to the renowned Graves and Sauternes wine regions.</p><p><strong>Travel in Comfort with a Premium Mercedes Minivan</strong></p><p>Your full-day Bordeaux wine tour is conducted in a spacious Mercedes minivan, designed for up to 8 passengers. With air conditioning, an onboard P/A system, you’ll enjoy a smooth and informative ride, no matter where you sit.</p><p><strong>Explore the Historic Graves Wine Region</strong></p><p>Departing from Saint-Emilion, you’ll travel to the picturesque left bank, home to the prestigious Graves wine region. This area is celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage, dating back nearly 2,000 years to when the Romans first planted vineyards here. The region’s name, “Graves,” refers to its deep layers of gravel, stone, and sand, which give its wines distinct characteristics.</p><p>The Graves AOC is famous for its full-bodied red wines, primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Your first stop will be a carefully selected winery, such as Château Haut-Bailly, Château La Louvière, or Château Carbonnieux. Enjoy a private tour led by the winery's expert guide, followed by a tasting of both red and white wines produced on the estate.</p><p><strong>Discover Pessac-Léognan: Bordeaux's Premium Wine Appellation</strong></p><p>As you continue your journey, you’ll explore the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a prestigious sub-region of Graves known for its high-quality wines. Awarded its own appellation in 1987, Pessac-Léognan produces both red and white wines of exceptional quality. The region’s terroir, rich in gravel and stones, creates ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon grapes.</p><p>One of the most iconic wineries in this area is Château Haut-Brion, a First Growth in the 1855 classification and the only one located outside the Médoc and Sauternes regions. A visit to a top Pessac-Léognan winery will offer you an in-depth look at the winemaking process, followed by tastings that showcase the estate’s best wines.</p><p><strong>Afternoon Visit to the Sauternes Wine Region</strong></p><p>After lunch, your tour continues to Sauternes, world-famous for its sweet white wines. The region’s most renowned estate, Château d’Yquem, holds the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé status. Sauternes wines are crafted primarily from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, with the unique influence of Botrytis Cinerea, a beneficial fungus that causes “noble rot.” This process concentrates the sugars in the grapes, producing intensely sweet, golden wines with rich aromas of honeysuckle, stone fruits, and florals.</p><p>At a prestigious Sauternes estate, you’ll explore the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle, learning how this exceptional wine is crafted. Following the tour, enjoy a guided tasting of these unique dessert wines and discover the best food pairings for Sauternes, from savory dishes to sweet treats.</p><p><strong>Return to Saint-Emilion</strong></p><p>After a day filled with wine, history, and breathtaking scenery, your private guide will bring you back to your accommodation in Saint-Emilion. This full-day tour offers an unparalleled experience of Bordeaux’s left bank wine regions, perfect for both wine enthusiasts and those new to the world of Bordeaux wines.</p><p><strong>Book Your Private Graves & Sauternes Wine Tour Today</strong></p><p>Secure your place on this exclusive private tour to discover the world-renowned wine regions of Graves and Sauternes.
