France

Let us help you discover France beyond Paris. While the City of Light is one of the most visited cities in the world, France has picturesque countryside, charming villages, and beautiful nature waiting to be explored. From the lavender fields of Provence to the dramatic peaks of the French Alps, France has something for everyone. U.S. citizens with valid passports can visit France without a visa.

Best Time to Visit France

France is a year-round destination, depending on what you want to do. The best time for walking and cycling tours is during spring (April to June) and fall (September to October), when the weather is mild and the landscapes are at their most vibrant. Summer can be warm, and trails and towns can be busy, especially in Southern France. The mountains are wonderful in the summer and winter, with plenty of adventure travel activities at your fingertips, with or without snow.

Sustainable Package Trips in France

Our France travel packages focus on responsible outdoor adventures that have a low carbon impact, get you off the beaten track, and help you discover the variety of things to do no matter the season.

One of our locally-owned partners specializes in hiking trips outside of major cities, with itineraries that thoughtfully lead walkers through scenic countryside trails in Provence wine country, through hilltop villages, and lush national parks.

Our other partner is a locally-owned and woman-owned operation based in the Southern French Alps, offering incredibly unique adventure and wildlife tours while staying in a cozy mountain refuge! Part of what makes these trips so special is that they reveal the beauty of the mountains beyond ski season. These experiences support the local community by extending tourism opportunities throughout the year.

How to Get to France

Getting to your adventure is simple—fly into one of the main airports (Paris, Marseille, or Nice) and take a regional train to the starting point indicated on your itinerary.
