The O.A.T. Difference: France

Small Groups: No more than 16 travelers, guaranteed.

Customize Your Experience: Join the 36% of travelers who extend their time abroad. Add our Northern France: Fontainebleau, Bayeux & the Beaches of Normandy pre-trip extension; or The Best of Provence: Avignon & Aix-en-Provence post-trip extension; or a combination of these extensions to your France adventure—when you do, you’ll enjoy more discoveries and more time to develop bonds with your fellow travelers.

Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry.

O.A.T. Exclusives: Enjoy a Home-Hosted Dinner with the family who owns and runs the chambre d'hote (bed and breakfast) we'll be staying at in Limousin, where we'll learn what daily life is like in this part of France. Plus, we'll meet with a local French farmer to discuss the controversial nature of foie gras production. 

People-to-People Experiences: Venture to a small village outside Carcassonne for Day in the Life experience on a wine domaine. With an expert wine producer as your guide, you'll learn about the region, work the vineyards, and even create a unique blend to share with your fellow travelers.

Local Trip Experience Leaders and Regional Office Expertise: Explore with a local Trip Experience Leader, who is fluent in English and trained by O.A.T. on the skills needed to bring travelers off the beaten path to meet with locals who share their cultures and traditions with us. Plus, follow an itinerary that’s been carefully crafted by O.A.T.’s Lyon office.

The leader in solo women on French Impressions

Join the growing number of solo travelers reserved on upcoming departures of this adventure—traveling independently or sharing a room with a mother, daughter, sister, or friend.

Safety & Security: Whispers headsets will now be provided on this adventure to support social distancing during included features. And you’ll have our dedicated French Trip Experience Leader and regional office in Lyon available and ready to help you and your group 24/7 throughout your entire trip.

Travel Solo, But Never Alone: On average, half of your group will also be traveling independently, so it’s easier to forge special bonds as you experience unforgettable moments together during your adventure. Plus, your Trip Experience Leader can help connect you with fellow travelers who share your common interests.

FREE or low-cost Single Supplements: Free or low-cost Single Supplements are offered on all O.A.T. adventures and are FREE on pre- or post-trip extensions—a savings of $900-$1,100 per person compared to other travel companies.. See available single space here »
