Trip Summary
Ten days of France at its most considered — Paris, Provence, and the Côte d'Azur — each one moved through at the pace that suits it. Paris opens with a tour of the Louvre with a private guide, a vintage Citroën 2CV through the city's boulevards and hidden lanes, and dinner at one of the city's great tables. A high-speed train south to Avignon and the Auberge de Cassagne, then Provence explored by vintage sidecar, a cooking class at the covered market in Les Halles, and a private tasting at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Saint-Tropez and the Côte d'Azur close the journey at Lou Pinet — a private yacht dinner on the sea, private vineyard tastings on the Riviera, and access to ateliers and artists that most visitors never find. Your Destination Expert carries the whole journey, and private drivers handle every transfer.
