Discover the Heart of France: Hassle-Free Walking Tours for Canadian Travelers
Trade the pavement for the path. Experience the vineyards, villages, and valleys of France on a curated walking holiday where we handle everything—including your luggage.
Walk. Explore. Savor. We’ll Handle the Rest.
There is no better way to truly “see” France than on foot. At Detours in France, we specialize in self-guided walking tours that balance adventure with absolute comfort. No heavy packs, no confusing maps, and no language barriers.
- Luggage-Free Exploration: You carry only a small daypack. Your suitcases “magically” appear at your next hotel.
- Curated Boutique Stays: We select charming, locally-owned inns and châteaux that offer a true sense of place.
- Total Peace of Mind: Expertly marked routes and 24/7 support from our English-speaking team in Beaune.
🍷 Burgundy: Walk Through the Vines
Wander through the legendary “Climats” of Burgundy, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Follow ancient stone-walled paths between Meursault, Volnay, and Beaune, stopping for tastings at world-class cellars along the way.
🏰 Loire Valley: The Royal Footsteps
Walk along the peaceful banks of the Loire and through the lush forests surrounding the Renaissance Châteaux. It’s a gentle, flat, and deeply historical journey through the “Garden of France.”
🌿 Provence: The Scents of the Luberon
Experience the sensory delight of walking through wild thyme, olive groves, and blooming lavender. Climb to spectacular hilltop villages like Gordes and Roussillon for views that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne.
