Bordeaux & the Dordogne: Culture, Caves & Art de Vivre

Southwest France is your destination on this program, with the city of Bordeaux as your base. You’ll spend eleven days in this culturally rich region where history converges with art, architecture, and gastronomy. You’ll explore Bordeaux’s elegant 18th-century structures and the world of wine at the recently opened Cité du Vin. Then explore the vineyards of Saint-Émilion and the Médoc for private château visits, educational lectures, and tastings. You’ll venture back in time to the Dordogne and its National Museum of Prehistory including the caves of Font-de-Gaume and Lascaux. Let the Marqueyssac Gardens enchant you; experience the traditional market at Sarlat; and tour the storied halls of Château des Milandes, once home to the legendary Joséphine Baker. With Michelin-starred dining, exclusive tours, and refined accommodations, this program offers a rare opportunity to engage deeply with French heritage and art de vivre.
