10 Best October 2026 Tours in France
Join one of these handpicked France October 2026 tour packages, tailored to the season.
Follow in Van Gogh's footsteps and walk through picturesque Provencal landscapes in the Alpilles. In 1888 Van Gogh left Paris for Arles in Provence where, after a 16-hour train journey, he started the most ambitious and productive period of his life. He worked under luminescent skies and the bleaching Provencal Sun painting the fields, drawbridges, cypress trees, cafes, local folk and ancient Abbey Ruins. Here he exclaimed ‘My God! If only I had known of this country when I was 25, instead of coming here at 35!’ Living at Arles, his technique modified as he began to use the swirling brush strokes and intense colours that you see in works like ‘Bedroom at Arles’ (1888), and ‘Starry Night’ (1889). He seemed to imbue visible phenomena with vitality. In his enthusiasm he encouraged the painter Paul Gauguin to join him, but within weeks they began to have violent disagreements, culminating in a quarrel in which van Gogh threatened Gauguin with a razor. It was that night, in deep remorse, Van Gogh famously cut off part of his own ear. This walk traces his footsteps through some of the places that he painted and would have known well. More specifically you will be strolling in Les Alpilles, a small massif standing out as its white peaks rise apparently sheer from the plain of the Rhône valley, its slopes covered in vineyards along with olive and almond trees. Along paths dotted with cypress trees and lone chapels. Here you will discover the many images of the Alpilles' landscapes he painted from St-Rémy to the Baux-de-Provence and onto Arles. We are confident that you will have a better time of it than Van Gogh did; for a time he was in a hospital at Arles, he then spent a year in the nearby asylum of Saint-Rémy, working between repeated spells of madness. Just after completing his ominous Crows in the Wheat fields (1890), he shot himself on July 27, 1890, and died two days later.

Reviews of our France Tours for October
Feedback from guests who toured France during October.
Patti F. | Traveled in October
I was pleased with the Coach Driver, Tour Director, the Itinerary was amazing but I would have liked another day in Austria and Germany for sure The hotel in Paris I was not pleased with way too small it was clean enough but I felt way below my standards the other hotels were ok. I would have liked to stay closer to the Towns especially in London although we didn’t go out in the evening except for the side tours as I was exhausted from all the walking and long days. To be honest I have not recuperated yet from my trip but I am elderly with many health issues
Tonya J. | Traveled in October
Tour was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed the sites and also that were had free time in each city! Most memorable moment was dinner in the Eiffel Tower.
Veronica Be | Traveled in October
We were very happy with this tour. Stephanie was our fabulous guide. Honfleur, Dinan and Chinon were wonderful places to visit, and mostly off the main tourist sites. The accommodation in all the stays was exceptional…and the breakfast each morning was excellent The pace is not too hectic…there’s plenty of down time to enjoy everything.

We loved the bike/barge trip. The countryside in the south of France was beautiful. The crew and guide - Hugo were very helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The cabins are not big (an understatement) but they were sufficient as you are actually out all day. The food was better than we expected. My suggestions to make it better: The cycling on the first day around Avignon is too long, on the first day it could be 2 hours shorter. The ride through the Camargue to meet the boat further down river was unnecessary. We could have stayed on the boat and had a bit more of a relax after a 65km ride the day before. We dont agree with the gratuity at the end of the trip. Why is an additional payment required for them doing their job (dont get me wrong , i thought all the crew were brilliant, i just dont agree with gratuities)

This tour covered everything on my bucket list and a lot more. Our guide Albert was so informative and knowledgeable. Accommodation was all very good, and the people we traveled with were great. Loved it all.
