This ten-day journey invites you to follow France’s most celebrated wine routes, from the cellars of Champagne to the sunlit vineyards of Provence.
Begin in Paris, France’s iconic capital. Stroll the grand boulevards, pause at café terraces, and take in views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. In the Latin Quarter, join a private wine-tasting session led by a local expert – a journey through France’s regions in a single evening, from Burgundy reds to sparkling Champagne.
Spend your free time exploring the Louvre, browsing small galleries, or enjoying dinner at a neighbourhood bistro. Each evening, return to your boutique hotel that makes for a calm retreat in the heart of the city.
Travel east to Champagne, where rolling hills and chalky soil give rise to the world’s most celebrated bubbles. Visit a family-run vineyard for a private tour, then head underground into ancient cellars for a tasting of vintage cuvées.
Afterwards, stop in Reims for lunch and a visit to its Gothic cathedral – a real masterpiece of French architecture that has witnessed centuries of coronations and history. Return to Paris in the evening, relaxed and inspired.
Take the morning train south to the Loire Valley, a region of fairytale châteaux and riverside towns. Your driver will take you to your elegant countryside château in Chinon, where vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see.
Spend your days exploring the region’s highlights: the medieval Château de Chinon, with its sweeping views over the Vienne River, and the historic Bouvet Ladubay cellars beneath St Florent Abbey, where you’ll sample sparkling wines made in the traditional method. Enjoy an unhurried pace with mornings spent exploring followed by afternoons of pure leisure.
Continue to Bordeaux, one of France’s most gorgeous wine regions. Visit the prestigious Médoc estate of Château Margaux for a private tasting and vineyard tour, followed by dinner at a renowned local restaurant where Bordeaux wines take centre stage.
The next day, journey to Saint-Émilion – a UNESCO World Heritage village surrounded by vines. Walk its cobbled streets, explore its ancient monolithic church, and enjoy a guided tasting in one of its acclaimed wineries.
Your final chapter unfolds in Provence, home to France’s sprawling fields of lavender. Stay in a country retreat near the hilltop village of Ménerbes, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.
Join a local truffle hunter for a morning walk through the Provençal countryside, followed by a leisurely lunch paired with regional wines. Spend an afternoon exploring Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where sun-drenched slopes and centuries of tradition produce some of France’s most expressive reds.
As evening falls, dine outdoors beneath soft light, a final toast to your journey through France’s most incredible regions.

France’s most rewarding cities are not always its most photographed. Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Marseille, and Strasbourg each hold a distinct identity shaped by trade, architecture, and food, the kind Paris rarely replicates. For travelers building a serious France itinerary, these five are not detours. They are the destination.

Ritz-Carlton didn’t enter yachting to build bigger ships. They entered to prove that service architecture matters more than square footage. On Luminara, that difference becomes impossible to ignore.

Before it became synonymous with yachts and cinema, the French Riviera was a quiet coastline prescribed for winter health. Over two centuries, it evolved into the world’s most enduring symbol of luxury travel.

Marseille tells its story without polish. A working port before it was ever a destination, it hums with energy — fishermen, spice markets, sea spray, and sun on stone. This is France in its rawest form: alive, imperfect, and entirely its own.
