Accomodation

Epicureans Co. embodies a “slow travel” philosophy. We prefer to anchor ourselves in one location to fully immerse ourselves into local culture - to live and experience it, rather than just see it. The focus of this trip is to discover Bordeaux wine region. You will experience wineries in two of the most iconic Bordeaux Appellations: left bank Margaux and right bank St-Emilion. To compleate this journey, we included a few days in Paris, as it is a primary landing point in France and has so much to offer! Whether you have already seen it or not, it deserves a few days explorations before to dive deeper into South of France Culture in Bordeaux area.

In both Paris and Bordeaux we have selected comfortable hotels in the perfect neighbourhoods to make the most of your trip. They are located in quiet areas but close to the action and with easy access to all the activities we are offering. You will be given the choice between a few hotels we carefully selected and inspected to choose the one that meets your own requirements. Below are some pictures of 4* and 3* hotels in Paris as well as a 4* Hotel in Bordeaux we have selected.
