Bordeaux tour guests during foodie and history tour of Bordeaux.What makes this Bordeaux Walking Tour Experience Exclusive?

Our Bordeaux Tour offers the discerning traveler and French wine, food, and history lover a very different perspective and unique “behind the scenes” experience into this magical region!

Each morning we lace up our walking shoes after a hearty breakfast to discover this privileged world as the Bordelais themselves do; hands-on and along the slow road walking in Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, and Arcachon. We walk local vineyard trails, embark one morning on a traditional French Pinasse (traditional wooden boat) to discover the secrets of the Arcachon Basin and Cap Ferret, and enjoy foodie tastings accompanied by famous Bordeaux wines during our excursions. During our cultural exploration day of Bordeaux itself, we’ll share untold sensational stories and history that shaped this culturally rich city. You’ll participate in fabulous foodie tastings with our favorite artisans. You’ll prepare traditional cuisine cooking with our dear friend, renowned Chef and cookbook Author Antoine at his family home in Sauternes. Your experience during our 6-Day tour will leave you with a new appreciation for this spectacular southwestern region of France long after your return home.

A WORD FROM Our Guests:

“This was my third trip in the same number of years with Christy and Off the Beaten Path. While on her trips you can tell how much effort there is on the off season to make every single week perfect. From the pick up at the train station to the teary goodbye at the airport, everything is perfectly planned and executed. The hotel in St. Remy is magical, and the tour guides Philippe and David are exceptional. If you are considering a trip with OTBP, go for it and come home with new friends, a love of Provence and a longing to return as soon as you can!” — Beth Bower

“We had an excellent tour with Christie and her crew in the Loire valley. We did things that only a true insider would have access to-dinner at a Michelin chefs house, helping/learning to cook at a highly rated restaurant in their kitchen. This was in addition to seeing the sights and touring the castles. A truly unique experience that is off the beaten path. We will use her again when going back to France.” — Karen Berner

“France Off the Beaten Path was so great the first time that I had to return to Off The Beaten Path for a repeat visit. Everyone that works for Christy is excellent and full of life. Loved their tours to Van Gough, Dinner at Catherine’s home, picnic in the woods, wineries – And the only max at 16. So we really got to know each other. Highly recommend.” — Lauren

“Outstanding tour of truly beautiful areas of Provence by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who spoke perfect English. Gorgeous accomodation, very special restaurant experiences, and an effort made to avoid arriving at tourist hotspots with the hordes made it all the more enjoyable.” — Geoff & Lorrene Evans
