Adventures with a difference - shaping your best moments in France
Days of adventure to remember
A trip with us is much more than a holiday in the sun, although basking in the sunshine certainly features. It’s about connecting with a place on multiple levels - through its history, nature, culture and gastronomy. We like our travelers to take their time getting to know the places they visit, going on adventures which reveal the best and most authentic aspects of each destination.
We believe in deep travel - an approach to tourism that penetrates the surface to see a place in all its multifaceted and colourful glory. This type of travel is far more fulfilling and enriching, not only for our travelers, but for the destinations we visit and the people who call it home.
We provide exclusive access to people and places, unveiling a side of France few get to experience. We like to take travelers on adventures to wilder, less touristy regions which are often overlooked. Our extensive experience in the travel industry has granted us the privilege of forming relationships with extraordinary individuals who share their local knowledge of these more remote corners. To us, meeting these inspiring makers is what deep travel is all about.


The people behind the traditions
In our view, one of the best ways to discover a place is through its people. The unique experiences we work so hard to craft connect you with warm-hearted locals who are truly the heart and soul of each destination and of the adventures you go on.
We want you to feel as if you’re being welcomed home with every interaction during your trip; greeted with open arms by passionate individuals eager to show off their corner of France. These genuine encounters breathe life into the traditions that define this diverse country.
Sit comfortably within the rustic walls of an old chateau in Provence and listen to stories passed down through generations. Step into the home of a Michelin-star chef and let them teach you their grandmother’s best recipe. Observe the skilled hands of silk makers deep in the mountains of Cévennes as they honour their ancestors’ dwindling tradition. It’s these small but meaningful moments we can promise our travelers that make us more than an incoming tour operator.
We carefully handpick our local partners to ensure they are passionate, welcoming and experienced with guests, no matter the age. We want both adults and children to feel completely at ease when they travel during their holidays - ready and excited for their French adventure.
Many of the local businesses we collaborate with only open their doors to our guests, offering travelers exclusive access to the more authentic side of France. These unique moments are hard to come by, setting us apart from other travel agencies by offering an adventure few can experience.
A hike through France’s wild side
If it’s not the French people that steal your heart, the country’s incredible and varied scenery is sure to do the trick. An adventure with France à la Carte is so much more than just a group hike in nature over a few days. We partner up with local experts who know the French surroundings like the back of their hand. A wildlife biologist will guide you through a national park in the south like it were their garden, shedding light on the animals that live there.
An intrepid mountaineer will take you to the remotest corners of a region for the trek of a lifetime. These deep travel experiences reveal how varied France’s landscapes are - from the rugged north to the sunny south, there is so much to explore, one trek at a time.
How you step off the beaten track also shapes an experience.
Travel on horseback through the valleys, on an e-bike up into the mountains or in a sailboat on an adventure out to sea. Our view is that the best way to see a country’s wild side is through immersive adventures that leave a lasting impression. Even the quieter moments during your holidays, when you read a good book beneath the ancient oaks of a national park, become part of the journey.

You pick the dates and we’ll do the rest.
