With twelve days in France, you can focus on food, wine, and village life without rushing across the country. One route might stay in Eastern France, pairing Lyon’s bouchons and markets with vineyard walks and tastings in Beaujolais and Burgundy. Another could link Lyon with Alsace, mixing riverside villages, half-timbered towns, and cellar visits.

You might prioritize active days on foot or by bike between villages, slow the pace with longer stays in Beaune or Colmar, or stay based in Lyon for guided market visits and cooking classes that deepen your understanding of local food culture.

All trips on this page are designed by France travel experts, not taken from fixed package brochures.

Each itinerary is simply a starting point you can customize with our specialists to match your dates, interests, pace, and budget.
