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

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.

Stellar experience Stellar experience! Off the Beaten Path is a cut above other tour companies. Everything is carefully chosen for a traveler’s delight. The highly professional, gracious and caring staff has thought of every detail. Food was spectacular, sites fabulous, lots of laughter and memorable moments. Staff is also highly knowledgeable of the area. You won’t be disappointed....don’t miss it!

I loved having a variety of plans and… I loved having a variety of plans and activities that ranged from castles to cooking. Our extremely knowledgeable leader kept the group on track without ever seeming over-bearing. Great boutique hotel. It was just an incredibly fun experience. I highly recommend participating in the optional hot air balloon ride. Small group with two small vans rather than a big coach. Lots of walking.
