Discover
Destinations told one at a time, each with the trip that goes with it — ready to make your own.
Coast and islands
Between Vlorë and Ksamil, the Ionian coast road crosses the Llogara Pass, then runs past pebble beaches and hilltop villages. In six days, you also visit the ruins of Butrint, Ali Pasha’s forts and the blue spring of the Blue Eye.
Heritage and culture
Belfries, canals and old master paintings, in cities rarely more than an hour’s drive from each other. A six-day loop from Brussels, through Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges and Ypres.
Mountains and passes
Four passes in a loop around the Sella massif: some fifty kilometres of hairpins, three provinces and four valleys that speak Ladin. And one rule: leave early, before the coaches take the road.
Coast and islands
Between a coast of cliffs and limestone peaks rising twenty kilometres from the sea lies green Spain: painted caves, stone villages, high lakes and cider poured from a height. A week from Santander to Oviedo.
Wide open spaces
Castles by the water, Renaissance towns with arcades and hundreds of carp ponds. Five days on a loop from České Budějovice, from the Vltava valley to Telč, in Moravia.
Heritage and culture
Ottoman bridges over a green river, stone plateaus and waterfalls you can swim under. A five-day loop from Mostar, from the upper Neretva to Trebinje.
Coast and islands
Monet’s garden, the cliffs of Étretat, Honfleur and the Côte Fleurie, the D-Day beaches, then Mont Saint-Michel at the end of its bay. A week along the Seine and the Normandy coast. Nine centuries of history, from William the Conqueror to 6 June 1944.

Wide open spaces
