France Coach / Bus Tour Reviews
- Grand Tour of France
It was very nice. Made lot of friends. Enjoyed the beautiful country of france. The tour exceeded my expectations.
- Paris, Normandy, & Châteaux Country
We had a our 2nd Globus tour in 5 years, this one was Normandy, Brittany and Chateaux Country. Globus tours has much improved and it was a very good tour. Riccardo was our tour director, and he was fantastic. His attention to detail, his knowledge of the areas and his patience with all the members of the group on the trip was excellent. The trip was well organized and the side trips in this tour were all very good. Only complaint is the wifi on the bus does not work but other than that Globus had everything well planned out. Good trip.
- Best of France
The tour was well organized, great food, great hotels with the best tour guide.

What are the key attractions covered on most coach tours in France?
Most France coach tours take travelers through an extensive network of the country's celebrated sites. In Paris you'll visit the essential landmarks: the Eiffel Tower Notre Dame and the Louvre. The route continues to the Loire Valley's grand châteaux such as Chambord and Chenonceau followed by the somber World War II sites in Normandy including Omaha Beach. The journey extends to ancient walled cities like Avignon and Carcassonne and through notable wine regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy. Accommodations include well-located hotels like the Novotel Amboise in Loire Valley. As one TourRadar traveler notes "The itinerary hit all the must-see spots while also including lesser-known gems like the medieval village of Rocamadour."
What is the typical daily schedule like on a coach tour through France?
Each day begins with breakfast at 7-8am followed by departure for sightseeing around 8:30-9am. The typical route includes 2-3 daily stops at key locations with comfort breaks every few hours. A day in Provence for instance starts with the Roman amphitheater in Arles continues to Avignon's Pope's Palace for lunch and ends with wine tasting in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Arrival at hotels like the Novotel Avignon Centre usually occurs by early evening. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our guide Bruno organized everything perfectly with a great mix of sightseeing and free time to explore on our own."
What's the best season for a coach tour in France?
The prime touring season in France spans April through October. Spring brings mild temperatures perfect for exploring Loire Valley gardens while summer draws visitors to the French Riviera's beaches. Fall offers special appeal for wine enthusiasts particularly in Bordeaux and Burgundy during harvest. Hotels like Mercure Avignon Gare TGV serve as comfortable bases throughout the seasons. One TourRadar traveler shares: "We went in September and the weather was perfect - warm enough for the beach in Nice but not too hot for exploring cities."

Tours cover between 150-300 miles daily connecting major regions across France. A standard 9-day itinerary might begin in Paris move through Burgundy to Lyon then south to Provence and the Côte d'Azur.

A TourRadar review notes: "The routing was excellent - we got to see so much of France without feeling rushed and the coach was very comfortable for the longer stretches."

Daily breakfast comes standard at hotels along with several group dinners featuring local cuisine. Special dining experiences might include wine tastings in Bordeaux or dinner at a family-owned château in Loire Valley.

One TourRadar traveler reports: "The included dinners were fantastic especially the welcome dinner in Paris and the regional wine tasting experiences."
How much free time is available during coach tours in France?
Tours balance structured sightseeing with independent exploration. Most itineraries allow 2-3 hours of free time in major cities plus several free evenings. In Paris a guided morning at the Louvre might be followed by afternoon freedom to wander Montmartre or shop the Champs-Élysées.
