France is renowned for its gastronomy, and what better way to discover the country’s culinary treasures than through a gourmet tour? In Western France, particularly in Brittany, Normandy, and the Loire Valley, you can embark your guests on a unique culinary adventure with expert guides and driver-guides.
We go beyond the typical tourist traps, introducing your clients to local producers, farmers markets, and hidden culinary gems. They will have the opportunity to sample local specialties as delicious cheese, freshnest seafood, bread and truffles.
We understand that each client is unique. We will work with you to create bespoke and private itineraries that cater to specific interests and dietary needs.
However, it’s important to note that some culinary experiences are seasonal. For instance, truffles are in season during the winter months (December to February), while oysters are at their peak from September to April. Don’t hesitate to ask us about the seasonality of our experiences.
