Will we have free time to explore on our own?
We have some time scheduled in our itinerary where you can explore on your own. Although, we highly recommend you get to Paris a few days before to get through jet lag and visit all the places you have on your short list. We will provide you with recommendations or you are free to research your own options. Our travel partner will offer several additional experiences if you decide to arrive earlier or depart later.

How will we get around in Paris and Brittany?
We will be walking a fair amount in Paris and will also use private transportation. There will be one metro trip as I believe it is part of the experience as a “local”.
We will ride the high speed train (TGV=Tres Grande Vitesse) that will take us in Brittany in less than 2 hours. In Brittany, most transportation will be by comfortable private buses and you will enjoy our friendly drivers.
What are the physical demands of your tours?
Our tours are physically active, we will be walking and/or standing and we will be outdoors in all weather conditions.
Since our group is small we will have ways to accommodate to most individual needs.
How much should I pack?
Please be mindful when you pack. There will be stairs at the guest house and getting in and out of the train might be difficult if you have more than a large carry-on. Make sure you are able to carry your own luggage and can lift it for a few stairs up and down.
Can I get special meals for my dietary restrictions?
We can accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions. Please let us know in advance so that we can tailor menus to meet your needs.
A survey will be send to all participants so we understand everyone food and drinks preferences.

Yes, for solo travelers, there is a $1,400 single-supplement fee. This will secure you a private room for the entire trip.
Do I need travel insurance?
We highly recommend travel insurance. Travel insurance helps reimburse for unexpected cancellations and issues. Please discuss this with our travel partner.
What is the cancellation policy?
We are working in it and will be adding this information as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
