Historical Tours in France

Best Escorted Trips in France

From Roman times to the present day, France has never been far from centre stage in European affairs. UK travellers with an interest in history will be delighted by the guided tours below, which explore France’s best museums, ancient sites and historic towns.

Historical Tours in France

Escorted trips to Paris take you into the thick of the history-soaked capital city. Visit iconic sites such as the Arc de Triomphe, dedicated to the fallen heroes of the Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and Les Invalides, built in the 17th century to house disabled soldiers. Pause at La Place de la Concorde, scene of the beheading of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Descend into the macabre Catacombs, an underground network of ossuaries holding the remains of over 6 million people.

Historical treasures are part and parcel of almost any sojourn in France. Cycling trips in the Loire Valley feature visits to the Renaissance-era castles that line that grand river. Walking holidays in areas like Alsace go through picture-postcard medieval villages such as Colmar and Riquewihr. Champagne tours are often based in historic Reims, which boasts 4 UNESCO World Heritage sites including the world-renowned Reims Cathedral, a defining monument of Gothic art.
