A Curated Visit of France's Champagne Region This was my third tour with France Off the Beaten Path. It was a masterfully curated tour: Moet et Chandon, Ruinart, Pommery, Nicolas Feuillatte. The restaurants chosen by owner, Christy Destremau, were wonderful. She goes above and beyond to deliver an amazing experience. Equally enjoyable was reconnecting with a friend from the Bordeaux tour in 2022, Peggy Gorman. Peggy and I are already planning another tour!

Loire Valley Delight NO HOTEL HOPPING caught my eye! Everything we needed was there for us. The Loire Valley Tour was a fantastic experience. Guide, Christy, was so knowledgeable concerning the royalty and four chateaux, even humorous but so interesting. Our chauffeur, Christine drove us carefully from city to city and threw in many interesting tidbits regarding French history, as she is a native of the area. The cooking classes (and eating and drinking absolutely delicious wine from the area) were a favorite of mine...hands on experience with the best master chefs. I was able to cook some of these recipes when I returned home. Thank you to Damien, Louisa and Fred, Angelique and Christoph, our master chefs who welcomed us into their homes or restaurant. The OTBP Loire Valley Tour does not disappoint, it delights!!! Merci, Pat Weichle

A History Lovers Dream Take this tour if you love French history, wine and cuisine. Knowledgeable guides painted pictures of life when French kings built chateaux and lived in the Loire Valley. Distinguished chefs gave delightful cooking lessons and created wonderful meals. Tastings of chocolate and wine were an added treat. This is a trip we will always remember fondly.

Excellent Experirence We had a group of 8 individuals comprised of nieces, aunts, sisters and a sister in law. Christy, Phillipe and Summer guided our group every day with love and care. By the end we felt they were friends. The destinations were photogenic and filled with lavender, poppies, history and beautiful scenery. The food was exceptional and a true taste of France. We are definitely considering joining Christy in the Loire Valley next!

A memorable vacation with personal touches in every detail! Christie and her team did not disappoint - again! This was our second tour with France Off the Beaten Path and will not be our last. Christie and her team made our Loire Valley vacation memorable, fun and adventurous. The itinerary was filled with food, wine, castles, laughs, history - and so much more. Christie's passion for travel is contagious and we look forward to our next trip! - Dana and Kyle
