TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, on the cobbled streets of France
France is a country that prides itself on its strong connection to the past. Every corner of France contains remnants of its heritage: medieval villages, fortresses, castles, grand châteaux and cathedrals.
Ophorus offers a multitude of possibilities to explore the deep cultural and historical tradition of France. Choose your location, and the type of tour you would like, and let Ophorus take care of the rest. Below is a small selection of the best cultural walking tours, day trips & packages that we offer in France.

3. Normandy & the Mont Saint Michel: Known for the World War II Normandy beaches of D-Day to many, it is also the region that is home to one of the most visited sights of France, the Mont Saint Michel. We organize unique tours departing from Bayeux, Cherbourg and Saint Malo Cruise Ports to this Unesco World Heritage Site.
4. Dordogne & the Paleolithic cave paintings: The Dordogne is certainly one of the most fascinating regions of the South of France. Not only does it possess some of the oldest representations of Cave Art with Font de Gaume & Lascaux caves, it is also dotted with impressive Medieval Castles. From Sarlat we operate Cultural tours with small groups of like minded guests.

Colmar should absolutely be on your bucket list. Add to that the local French Cuisine and delicious wine tasting sessions, you will then be culturally immersed in the smallest region of France.

7. Languedoc & The Cathars: From Toulouse or Port Vendres & Sete Cruise Ports, listen to the story of the Cathars & Catharism, a Christian dualist movement that existed during the 12th to 14th centuries.
