Land cruises in Provence and Bordeaux

Your Week in Provence
May & September 2021

Our French Impressions is organising "Your Week in Provence", a lifestyle journey inspired and informed by your hosts personal touch and intimate knowledge of the region.
Jean-Marie will successfully showcase the real Provence, its authentic cuisine, based on seasonal and local produce and ingredients and best wines - no house wine here - and artists and artisans showcasing the best traditional and modern craftsmanship. The itinerary will take you through many typical villages on the east side of the Rhone, around Les Alpilles and the Lubéron, considered to be the heart of Provence. It is balanced and varied, and your hosts and their carefully chosen local partners will take care of you 24/7.
It has built-in flexibility, as you can choose optional activities or take off on your own for more personal discoveries.

New Bordeaux Gastronomique land cruise in 2021

This new land cruise is designed for the lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Armagnac.
We will drop our bags in a nice hotel in the new rejuvenated "Quartier des Bassins à Flots", near where Jean-Marie lived as a young child and where his sister was born.
It is the place to be near the new Cité du Vin and all interesting new architecture.
We will discover the Left & right Banks of the Gironde, and visit prestigious wineries in Haut-Médoc, Saint-Julien, Pauillac and Saint-Emilion, with a push South to Armagnac.
We will explore Les Landes, Bassin d'Arcachon, Dune du Pilat, Soulac and Royan.
We will enjoy the best food and wines the South West of France has to offer in a small group of maximum six people.
