Arrive in Paris

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to your hotel in central Paris

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Paris
  • Environ 1 h de route

Fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) at any time. A driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the drive into the city, 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic, and your hotel is central, within walking distance of the Seine.

Après-midi

Rooms are usually ready by mid-afternoon, so if you land early, leave your bags and walk: the Île de la Cité and the Latin Quarter are close to most central hotels, and a café terrace is the classic first stop. At 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group at the hotel for a short briefing on the trip ahead: how the two train days work, what to pack for the wine country and the coast, and how each base has free time built in.

Soir

Then we walk to dinner together at a neighbourhood bistro for the welcome meal, a chance to meet the rest of the group, never more than 12 of you.

Compris

  • Pick-up at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
  • Welcome briefing with your guide
  • Welcome dinner at a local bistro

Temps libre : Free until the 6 pm briefing

Activité : Plan to land by about 3 pm to reach the briefing comfortably; later arrivals are met and join the group at dinner.

Faune et météo : Spring and early autumn are mild and the vineyards are green or turning gold; the grape harvest in Burgundy usually runs from late August into September. Lavender is in bloom in Provence only from late June to mid-July. July and August bring heat over 35°C in Provence and the biggest crowds on the Riviera, so we start early and keep afternoons free.

Questions

What does the France trip price include?

Eleven nights in central hotels, 11 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 4 dinners, two TGV journeys, airport transfers in Paris and Nice, a private vehicle and driver in the regions, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, including the Musée d'Orsay, a Burgundy cellar tasting, the Palais des Papes, the Pont du Gard, the Carrières des Lumières and Monaco.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That means one vehicle, one cellar for the tasting and one table at dinner, instead of the 25 to 46 people of a typical coach tour of France.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the first evening in Paris to the last morning in Nice, including on both trains. Local guides join where a site requires one, such as at the Musée d'Orsay, and a professional driver handles the roads.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit: most days mean 2 to 4 hours on foot on cobbles, with steep lanes in Vieux Lyon, Les Baux, Gordes and Èze. The Solutré climb, the vineyard bike ride and the long ochre trail are optional, and every demanding day has an easier alternative.

I'm travelling solo. What is the single supplement?

A room of your own is from CAD 1,615 more, about 17 percent of the trip price, and is shown up front when you request to book. Solo travellers join every included meal and activity like everyone else, and you can ask us about sharing a room; we confirm whether that is possible at booking.

How many days do we get in Burgundy?

Three days. Day 3 runs from Dijon down the Route des Grands Crus to Beaune, day 4 is the Hospices de Beaune and the Côte de Beaune villages with a cellar tasting and lunch, and day 5 crosses southern Burgundy through Cluny and the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyards on the way to Lyon.

When is the best time to go, and will we see the lavender?

April to June and September to October are the most comfortable months, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Lavender in the Luberon is usually in flower only from late June to mid-July, so choose a departure in that window if the lavender matters to you. July and August are hot in Provence and busy on the Riviera.

How long are the train and driving days?

The TGV from Paris to Dijon takes about 1 hour 40 minutes, and Avignon to Nice about 3.5 hours direct, more with a change. The longest driving days are Beaune to Lyon and Lyon to Avignon, about 3 hours each, broken by sights and a sit-down lunch. Every other day has under 2.5 hours in the vehicle.

Do Canadians need a visa for France?

No visa is needed for stays of up to 90 days in the Schengen area for Canadian or US passport holders. The EU's Entry/Exit System, already running, records fingerprints and a photo at the border. The ETIAS travel authorisation has no confirmed start date yet; we tell you what applies before you fly.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, trains and drivers.

How does booking work?

Choose a departure and request to book: no payment is taken at that point. We confirm availability, hotels and the final price within 24 hours, and only then ask for a deposit. Prices are per person sharing a room, with taxes, from CAD 9,495 for the small group.
