Live The Good Life in France
More than two thirds of the French spend their holidays in their own country and it's easy to see why – they know how to live in style. From its grand boulevards, sprawling gardens and magnifique café culture, Paris is a gem in its own right. When you’re not being wooed by the City of Love, flit away to France’s charming countryside, sparkling seaside towns or elegant châteaux for a unique Trafalgar experience fit for a royal.

I remember being with my group in the beautiful village of Saint-Émilion in the Bordeaux wine region and it was a day of celebration. We danced with the locals, shared their wine and local specialities – it was so magical to be part of the life of this beautiful village!
