Bonjour. How about joining me on tour in the Loi Bonjour. 

How about joining me on tour in the Loire Valley in April 2027?

I’ve recently teamed up with “Adventures with Sarah” a Seattle-based boutique travel agency and fellow tour guides Sarah Murdoch (the company’s founder) and Nina Seffusatti (a dear friend of mine based in Avignon) to create and run an exclusive 12-day itinerary, “Savoring France.” 

This small-group tour is scheduled from April 13-25, 2027 and will introduce visitors to the diversity of French regions, from the Loire Valley (I’ll be leading the first section of the trip) to Lyon, the French capital of gastronomy (with Sarah) then down to colorful Marseille and Provence (with Nina.)

This is a small group tour and space is limited.

I already offer in-person French Immersion workshops in the Loire Valley and am excited at this opportunity to design and lead a tour in the magical region I call home.

If you’ve been thinking about discovering more of la Belle France outside Paris with a team of experienced guides, here’s your chance!

Find all details in my Bio or on the Adventures with Sarah website.

Bonjour. Just a few days left before packing thi Bonjour. 

Just a few days left before packing this tour guide’s bag for the first time this season.

A few days left to enjoy my city and the slower pace of French life “en province.”

In 2026 itinerant tours will take me to Paris, the Loire Valley and Normandy as I introduce groups of North American travelers to la Belle France.

We will try and go beyond the postcard and gain understanding while challenging perspectives.

I can’t complain. I do what I love, teaching and sharing France.

Bring it on, 2026 touring season! 

This tour guide’s ready.

Bonjour. Paris in March: The weather can change Bonjour. 

Paris in March: The weather can change several times a day. Not quite the end of winter. Not quite the start of spring either. 

The urban explorer only needs to dress in layers (and carry an umbrella) to enjoy some Paris magic. 

Behold the peaceful Square du Temple in the early morning. Hardly a local (or visitor) around, just birds to keep me company. 

A lot has happened in this neighborhood once the seat of a fortified medieval compound protected by a mighty order, the Knights Templars. 

Few remember today the plight of the royal family imprisoned in a tall tower here as they awaited their fate. 

This is March 2026. At peaceful square du Temple, doom and gloom have been replaced by pink blooms. 

Bienvenue à Paris.

Bonjour. A fun (and productive) Parisian week wi Bonjour. 

A fun (and productive) Parisian week winds down this morning. 

What a treat to spend a few days solo in the city I once called home! 

Long walks (some took me down memory lane,) special moments with friends old and new, leisurely meals and “noisettes” savored “en terrasse,” some sun, some rain… in short, “de belles retrouvailles.” 

I will return often during the 2026 touring season, introducing visitors to local landmarks (and some of my favorite corners too.) 

For now, time to say “Merci, Paris!” 

Au revoir et à très bientôt,

Edmonds, WA, a small town north of Seattle. Over Edmonds, WA, a small town north of Seattle. 

Over 130 @ricksteveseurope guides met there for a week earlier this month. 

Fun to reconnect with friends and the office team we don't always get to meet on the road. 

Proud to be a Rick Steves guide (6th season and counting!) 

Proud to be a European.
