Day 1: Le Touquet
Your Chauffeur will pick you up in London and join you on the EuroTunnel or ferry to France.
On arrival in Calais, we start to head south stopping first at fashionable Le Touquet – a chic seaside resort known as the Monaco of the North given its famous residents and visitors.
Famed not only for designer boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants this stunning resort is also home to some of France’s most challenging golf courses.
Spend the day wandering around the quaint streets and lunching at one of the many seafood eateries scattered across the town.
In the evening maybe visit their famous casino, where Ian Fleming based his James Bond film Casino Royale.
Day 2: Le Touquet to Reims
The following morning head to Reims, home of the famous champagne region of France. Also, don’t forget it is pronounced Rinse, this city is probably the most mispronounced city in France!
Reims is not just famous for champagne, but it is also known as the City of Kings as it was in the cathedral in Reims that Kings of France were crowned from 816 until 1825 – an impressive 33 Kings. In more recent years Reims was the city where the Commander in Chief of the German Army signed the surrender to WWII.
The city was 80% destroyed in World War I and actually was the most damaged city across the whole of France during this period.
The magnificent cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a stunning example of French Gothic architecture. The intricate stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall alone are worth a visit to Reims.
Your afternoon will be spent visiting the Palace de Tau, once home to the Archbishop of Reims and now a museum that also details how the city was rebuilt following WWII.
A visit to Reims would not be complete without a champagne tasting. Enjoy a private cellar tour in one of the city’s most famous champagne houses followed by dinner in one of the city’s finest restaurants.
Day 3: Reims to Epernay
The first champagne house ever created, Ruinart, was in Epernay and today your tour will take to for a visit to one of the prestigious champagnes houses in the champagne region where you will be given a private to of the vineyard by the head vintner along with lunch in the gardens of the wine estate.
In the afternoon take a hot air balloon flight from the city center to have a bird’s eye view of the champagne vineyards as well as the stunning Church of Our Lady (Eglise de Notre-Dame).
Day 4: Epernay to Paris - Fontainebleau
Heading towards Paris our first stop will be the South-East Parisian city of Fontainebleau. The historic Chateau is set in a park of 130 hectares and was home to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as several Kings.
This 1,500-room castle is recognized as having the most furnishings of any chateau in France and was lived in by Kings until the revolution, following your private tour of the chateau explore the stunning gardens before heading into the main town to sample the local cuisine.
Enjoy a petanque lesson in one of the many pitches around the city and learn why this distant cousin to crown green bowling is such a popular sport across every village in France. Be warned though, it can get very competitive!
Day 5: Paris - Louvre & Musee de L'Orangerie
Your tour starts today with a visit to the Louvre, home to some of the World’s most precious artworks, famous for the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. This stunning building is also home to over 35,000 works of art.
Not only is the Louvre the most visited museum in the world it is also the biggest museum with galleries spreading over 15 acres! In fact, if you were to spend 30 seconds looking at each piece of art housed in the museum it would take over 100 days and so your guide will work with you to ensure you see all the artwork on your bucket list.
Next visit the Orangerie museum, home of Monet’s incredible Water Lilies, which is a permanent exhibition as well as art from Cezanne, Modigliani, and Picasso to name a few of the famous artists displayed at this museum. The museum is located in the Tuileries garden close to the Louvre where you can enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Seine after your private tour.
Day 6: Montmartre & The Sacre Coeur
No visit to Paris would be complete with a day on the famous left bank – home to artists and musicians and writers throughout the ages. Climb up to the Sacre Coeur for the most spectacular views of the city skyline, from La Defence to the Bois de Boulogne, and on a clear day visibility is over 20 miles.
In the afternoon your guide will take you to visit some of the lesser-known squares in Montmartre bustling with art galleries and museums and even the occasional windmill and have a late leisurely lunch at a traditional Parisian brasserie.
Day 7: Gourmet Tour, Notre Dame & the Champs Élysées
Your guide today will take you on an epicurean tour of Paris starting with the traditional French petit dejeuner (or petit dej as they call it) at a local boulangerie where the head baker will teach you about the different breads and pastries they bake every morning.
Top tip – if you are ever buying bread in France never go to an empty boulangerie – the French are perfectly happy to queue outside their favorite for 20 minutes rather than buy bread from a shop where they believe the bread is of inferior quality. Your tour will include a visit to an award-winning fromagerie as well as local charcuterie and poissonnerie.
In the afternoon your private chauffeur take you on a drive past the famous Notre Dame where you can see the army of construction workers restoring this landmark building following on from the devastating fire in 2019 before heading towards the famous shopping avenue in France – the Champs Élysées, home to Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, and Cartier.
