Off the beaten track

Treat yourself out of the ordinary

We offer experiences off the beaten track in Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley. Make your trip spicier and more lively with intense and extraordinary meetings, rare and unique moments in life.

In the Loire Valley

Just change your point of view: look at the Loire river from above, on board of a hot-air balloon. Europe’s last untamed river, the Loire will unveil its secrets to you.

Or you could opt for a leisurely moment eating delicacies on a cruise on a “gabare” (one of the wooden traditional river craft), or perhaps you could go canoeing under the arches of Chenonceaux Chateau, When the sun sets, be the lord of the manor’s privileged guest and listen to the family’s story!

In Brittany

The Pink Granite Coast, Saint Malo, the Morbihan Gulf with its 42 islands reveal their charms when flown over in a helicopter or seen from aboard a traditional sailing ship. To the ebb and flow of the tide, have a try at oyster farming before sharing the fruit of your efforts with the oyster farmer in person.

In Normandy

Get ready for intense and deeply moving moments in Normandy: if you want to follow your grand or great-grand fathers’ tracks on their landing on Omaha, Utah or Juno Beach, Christophe and Guillaume (our local guides) will help you.

You are in search of a bit of adventure combined with culture? Try the offbeat foot crossing to Mont Saint Michel by night!

These and other gems will make the charm of your luxury travel.
