TOUR TO JURA
Wednesday 10th to Tuesday 23rd June 2026
Tour Highlights
Join us for a 13-night tour through the Jura, one of France’s most beautiful and unspoilt regions. Part of Burgundy–Franche-Comté, the Jura is known for its leafy forests, rivers, vineyards, lakes, and low mountain ranges – as well as its celebrated Comté cheese and rare local wine, Vin Jaune, both of which we will experience first-hand.
Highlights of this unique journey include:
Exploring picturesque villages such as Baume-les-Messieurs, a Plus Beau Village de France.
Driving into the Swiss Jura and its lakeside towns – without the cost of Swiss motorway tolls.
A fascinating visit to the Musée du Château de Savigny-les-Beaune, home to 250 motorbikes, hundreds of cars, historic fighter aircraft and exceptional sports cars.
The chance to dine in the Michelin-starred restaurant at our Relais & Châteaux hotel.
Relaxed days enjoying the slower pace of rural France, with coffee in local cafés and quiet byways to explore.
A full day in Troyes, a 16th-century city beautifully restored after fire, with half-timbered houses and Renaissance architecture.
Two nights in Soissons, including a coach excursion to Paris to see the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral and enjoy a taste of the city.
This is a tour designed for those who love great driving, historic places, fine food, and the authentic character of rural France.
