Bordeaux, the Dordogne & Biarritz
From elegant Bordeaux and the vineyard-covered hills of Saint-Émilion to the prehistoric landscapes of the Dordogne and the Atlantic beauty of Basque-inspired Biarritz, the cultural riches of southwestern France unfold through historic villages, celebrated cuisine, and ever-changing scenery shaped by centuries of tradition. Along quiet riverbanks, beneath limestone cliffs, and beside rolling vineyards, discover a region where daily life moves at a gentler rhythm and every landscape tells a story.
Explore Bordeaux's grand boulevards and immersive wine culture at La Cité du Vin before venturing into the countryside of medieval Saint-Émilion, where cobbled streets and vineyard views reveal the enduring heritage of French winemaking. In the Dordogne, storybook villages, hilltop castles, and traces of prehistoric life create one of France's most evocative regions. Enjoy early access to Château de Beynac overlooking the Dordogne River, a private visit to Lascaux IV with its extraordinary cave art recreations, and an exclusive dinner at the museum that brings the experience vividly to life. During a stay in Les Eyzies, dine at Michelin-starred Le 1862 - Les Glycines, where refined seasonal cuisine reflects the depth and character of the region. The journey continues west to the Atlantic coast, where Arcachon's seaside scenery gives way to the elegance of Biarritz and the distinct cultural traditions of the Basque Country. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz and along the coast, colorful harbors, ocean views, and a strong regional identity reveal a France both sophisticated and deeply rooted in place. From Bordeaux's wine heritage to the timeless landscapes of the Dordogne and the relaxed glamour of Biarritz, the memories made along the way are unforgettable.
