  • Dordogne villages & the Périgord: A journey back in time through stone-built medieval towns, river valleys and prehistoric heritage sites. Ideal for families who enjoy history, scenery and local food stops.

  • Saint‑Émilion for families: The UNESCO-listed village is a beautiful setting to explore together – cobbled lanes, underground heritage, local sweet treats (macarons) and a relaxed atmosphere that works well for all ages.
