Francophiles is a small, privately owned company with many years experience in organising its very special tours to the regions of France. Since taking over ten years ago, tour operator David Williams and courier Diana Martin, who are with you on every holiday, have been delighted to welcome back many seasoned Francophile travellers and to meet new people who have enjoyed their first tour with us. In 2012 we return to the delights of springtime in Perigord with its medieval castles and walled bastide towns, to the little-known Aveyron and Tarn with its dramatic gorges and the amazing Millau Viaduct. The autumn takes us to the alpine charms of Savoy, the lake-side spa town of Evian and the golden glories of Alsace at harvest-time. Each region has a distinct cultural and gastronomic heritage.
