Tour de FranceWell, there´s no doubt that this is tops in Europe if not the world.

And it´s really more than just a bicycle race—starting towns, mountain villages, vineyards and coastlines become waystations in a moving festival of sport. Riders climb high Alpine cols above Mont Blanc, sprint along the lavender-scented roads of Provence,…

Guadeloupe and 8 of its top highlights

Hugo Elby Shaped like a butterfly from the air, Guadeloupe somehow slips between the cracks when it comes to booking travel to the Caribbean, in favor of the likes of Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic.

I read the blog about France Group member Monique Y. Wells this morning, http://blog.tripatini.com/, and then I visited her Paris Insights website. I used to think that I knew Paris because when I was a schoolteacher I would go there for the entire summer, but now I feel like a newcomer.

If we are talking about wine tours then we run them in our area. The Lot in sw France is the origin of the malbec grape (not Argentina). We have a dedicated site http://www.winetoursfrance.net/.
You might be interested to know that there is an annual International Malbec Days event in Cahors this May with over 600 different malbec wines from around the world.

Thank you Wink. Karen

Karen, sorry I did not see this comment earlier. I run wine tours on request in my specialist areas of Savoie and Jura, however the guides on my website are aimed at independent travellers who want to do a self-guided wine tour using our expert recommendations. I can also tailor-make itineraries based on our guides and my own experience.

Wink: Do you conduct wine tours? Merci.
