FAQ:
What kind of excursions can I experience in France?
France offers a diverse range of excursions to suit all tastes, including wine-tasting tours in Bordeaux, historical trips to the D-Day beaches in Normandy, cultural tours of the world-renowned museums in Paris, scenic journeys through the lavender fields of Provence, and adventurous hiking in the Alps or Pyrenees. Whether you're interested in gastronomy, art, history, or nature, there's an excursion for you in France.
Do I need to speak French to enjoy an excursion in France?
While speaking some French can enhance your experience, it is not essential for enjoying an excursion in France. Many tour operators offer services in English and other languages, and in tourist-heavy areas, staff and guides often speak multiple languages to accommodate international visitors.
Are there family-friendly excursions in France?
Yes, France boasts numerous family-friendly excursions. These include theme park visits like Disneyland Paris, educational and fun workshops in museums, animal parks, and interactive historical sites like the Futuroscope and Puy du Fou. Additionally, outdoor activities such as cycling in the Loire Valley or canoeing in the Ardèche cater to families with children.
How do I choose a reputable excursion provider in France?
Look for providers with good reviews on platforms such as TripAdvisor or Google, check for accreditation with tourism boards, and seek recommendations from travel forums or hotels. Reputable providers often offer transparency about their itineraries, pricing, and safety measures, and they should have knowledgeable and professional guides.
Can I find excursions in France that are off the beaten path?
Absolutely. While many visitors flock to well-known sites, you can explore lesser-known regions, such as the Jura, Corsica, or the Ardèche, for a more off-the-beaten-path experience. Consider booking with local tour operators who specialize in unique regional experiences, or hire a local guide for a more personalized excursion.
What should I wear on an excursion in France?
The attire will depend on the type of excursion you choose. For city tours, comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. For outdoor activities like hiking or cycling, appropriate gear is essential for a pleasant experience, including suitable footwear, protective layers, and possibly specialized equipment provided by the tour operator.
Are there sustainable and eco-friendly excursion options in France?
Yes, France is home to many eco-friendly excursions. Look for tours that emphasize responsible travel practices, such as small group sizes, use of eco-friendly transportation methods (e.g., electric boats or bikes), and those that support local conservation efforts. Many providers also offer educational tours that highlight the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the natural environment.
How far in advance should I book an excursion in France?
Popular excursions, especially in peak tourist season (May to September), can book up quickly, so it's advisable to book as early as possible. For special events or excursions with limited capacity, booking several months in advance may be necessary. However, for less popular or regular tours, a few days to a week in advance might suffice.
Are there options for private excursions in France?
Private excursions are widely available in France and offer a more personalized and flexible experience. You can arrange private tours through travel agencies, tour companies, or private guides, for nearly any interest, from visiting vineyards to historical landmarks and natural wonders.
What safety measures should I expect during excursions in France due to health concerns?
Tour operators in France are expected to follow current national and local health guidelines. This could include measures such as mandatory mask-wearing, social distancing, reduced capacity on tours, frequent sanitization of equipment, and health checks. Always check with the excursion provider for the most up-to-date health and safety measures before booking.

–4.3My family and I had an incredible time exploring the vineyards of Bordeaux. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about winemaking, which really made the experience memorable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the wine, of course, was exquisite. A highly recommended day trip for anyone visiting France.

–5.0The day trip to Mont Saint-Michel was like stepping into a storybook. Our guide brought the history of the place alive, and we had plenty of time to explore the quaint shops and cobblestone streets. It was expertly organized and we didn't feel rushed — a perfect balance of guided touring and free time.

–4.7Taking a guided night tour of Paris was the best decision we made. Seeing the City of Lights come alive after dark was simply enchanting. Our guide was engaging, sharing stories and secrets of Paris that we wouldn't have learned otherwise. The view of the Eiffel Tower sparkling at night will be etched in my memory forever.

–4.7The cooking class in Lyon was hands down a gastronomic delight. We learned how to make traditional French dishes from a local chef in a cozy and inviting kitchen. Not only was the food delicious, but the company and the intimate setting made the day incredibly fun and personal.
