Dordogne Immersion

Seven Day Tours

Tour 1: 

FRENCH LANGUAGE IMMERSION
NEW 2024 DATES TBA!

Tour 2:

‘DORDOGNE DISCOVERY’ WEEK
2024 DATES TBA!

Experience the distinctive flavours and colors the Dordogne and slow to the rhythm of French village life. For seven indulgent days, join a small, easy-going group exploring this peaceful pocket of France as you immerse yourself in the wonderful French culture and customs.

For Tour 1, the Language Immersion, I am joined by A French Journey’s Director, Nathalie Foos, professional French tutor. We are passionate about all things French, and we aim to share that passion with you.  Our homebase is Villa Ste Therese for the seven days, where we’ll provide practical language classes each morning, followed by relaxed excursions exploring the region in the afternoon.

For Tour 2, the Dordogne Discovery,  we experience the best this region has to offer: exploring stunning chateaux inside and out, enjoying world-class classic French gardens, viewing prehistoric cave art, and visiting some of France’s prettiest limestone villages. We gain an insight into daily life in medieval France, through its architecture, rich culture & customs, and of course, plenty of fine dining experiences.

Along the way, we discover wonderful historic sites and gems, drinking in the beautiful Dordogne river vistas as we wander.

On both these Tours, we’ll feast like royalty as we:

  • explore the fairytale medieval castles of the Dordogne – the Land of 1001 Chateaux – and this stunningly scenic, rich river valley
  • discover ancient postcard-perfect Plus Beaux Villages including Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Monpazier & Villereal
  • plunge into the lively village markets – always fun, always a bargain!
  • savour the classic cuisine of the Perigord region – confit duck, foie gras, regional cheeses – in wonderful welcoming settings
  • sample the superb wines of Monbazillac and Bergerac
  • enjoy intimate casual suppers at home, sharing stories from each day’s adventures

No need for constant packing or checking timetables – simply settle into your peaceful maison in Monpazier, let us pamper you, and enjoy an authentic experience of this magical part of France. 

The Villa is an easy 700 metre stroll to the heart of the village, so you can absorb the easy rhythm of French village life. Join us on the ‘croissant run’ each morning, or sun yourself in the village square over a quiet drink in the afternoon. We pace each day to give you time to truly immerse yourself and wind down.

We only host small groups (max 8), so our guests do not feel like they’ve come ‘on tour’, but more like they’ve joined a relaxed, casual house party.   We want you to feel the Villa is your home for your stay. There’s always a nook in the garden or on one of the terraces to curl up with a book or sneak in a snooze before dinner!
