EF Go Ahead Tours Adds Two New France Itineraries for 2027

EF Go Ahead Tours is expanding in France with two new itineraries that will launch in 2027. 

Both 10-day, multi-destination tours cover the France’s main attractions and food and wine scene. France continues to “inspire travelers looking for culture, cuisine, history, and unforgettable scenery,” said Lael Kassis, vice president of market innovation and development at EF Go Ahead Tours, which now has nearly 40 itineraries in the country. 

“With an expanded set of itinerary options across France, we aim to give travelers a wide range of experiences that balance France’s iconic landmarks with its lesser-known regions,” Kassis said. “These new trips showcase the incredible diversity of the country, from the vineyards of Burgundy and Champagne to the storybook villages of Alsace and the dramatic peaks of the French Alps, while making travel seamless through expertly planned guided experiences.”   

Starting in June 2027, EF Go Ahead Tours will offer Paris, Alsace & the French Alps. Going forward, it will be offered from April through November. The 10-day guided tour includes two nights in Paris, three nights in Strasbourg, and three nights in the French Alps.  

Highlights of the itinerary are a guided visit to the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a canal cruise through Strasbourg, and a ride on one of the world’s highest cable cars in the French Alps. Guests will also visit the villages of Alsace, including Riquewihr, the town said to have inspired Belle’s village in Beauty and the Beast, and indulge in a wine tasting. 

Optional add-ons include a Paris pre-extension for a walking food tour and visit to Versailles (making it a 12-day trip) and a day trip into Germany’s Black Forest to see handmade cuckoo clocks during the allotted 10 days.  

Also starting in June 2027, Food & Wine of France: Burgundy, Champagne & Paris includes stays in Lyon, Burgundy, the Champagne region, and Paris, with an optional Paris extension, as well. Going forward, it will run every March through November. 

Highlights include a hands-on pâtisserie baking class in Paris, wine tasting at Château Philippe le Hardi in Burgundy, champagne tasting at Veuve Clicquot, visit to Château de Chantilly with lunch, and a guided walking food tour through Paris’ historic Le Marais neighborhood. The optional Paris extension includes a neighborhood food tour and an optional cabaret experience.
