Our tours involve a moderate amount of walking (typically two to three miles per day), often uphill or on uneven or cobblestone streets. You must be able to get on and off trains and passenger vans on your own; we regret that we cannot provide individual assistance with luggage handling. Please note that this itinerary, for reasons beyond our control, does not accommodate wheelchairs.
Our guests stay in 4-star hotels in both Paris and Bordeaux. In the Perigord region, the accommodations are in luxury guest houses which are privatized for our tours.
A deposit of $1,000 U.S. dollars per person confirms your reservation. Your deposit is fully refundable up to 120 days before departure. Full payment is due at least 120 days prior to departure. If you make your reservation after the final payment due date, payment in full will be required upon reservation.
All cancellation requests must be submitted to us in writing via email. You will receive a full refund for any cancellations made 120 days or more before departure. For cancellations made less than 120 days before departure, please see the Cancellations and Refunds section on our Terms and Conditions page.
SLL Perigord Travel does not offer insurance and recommends that all travelers on our tours purchase international travel insurance with medical coverage as well as trip cancellation coverage and protection against lost, stolen or damaged luggage. Many reputable insurance companies offer travel insurance. For a non-exhaustive list see: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/travel-insurance/best-travel-insurance/
A passport valid for at least six months after the completion of your tour is required for U.S. citizens on all of our tours. Visas are not required for U.S. citizens who stay in France for less than 90 days. If you are not a U.S. citizen, please contact your embassy or consulate to ensure you obtain the proper documentation.
Airport transfers are not included. Licensed taxis from CDG airport to Paris have fixed prices: 62€ to left bank, 55€ to right bank. A 3€ tip is customary. Luggage does not cost more. The hotel can arrange for a taxi to take you back to the airport at the end of the trip. Ubers are also widely available.
It is a 2-hour ride to Bordeaux on the high speed train (TGV) from Paris. There are also direct flights from Montreal as well as from many European cities.
We recommend packing light since luggage handling is not available. Bring comfortable clothes and shoes as our tours involve a moderate amount of walking, often uphill or on uneven or cobblestone streets. A warm sweater or light jacket is a must for cooler mornings and for cave visits. Most evenings on the tour are casual; for the restaurant dinners, it is preferable not to wear shorts, but jacket and tie are not necessary. Also, don’t forget a bathing suit if you would like to use the pool in Perigord (weather permitting).
A washing machine and dryer will be available for your use mid-trip. Dry cleaning is not available.
While we do our best to accommodate food allergy concerns, we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.
