Special Interest

French Travel Partners is very experienced in arranging travel with a special theme.

We have been organising themed travel tours since the idea first became popular. The theme of the tours has included.

Religious tours

The most important Shrines of France are surely Lourdes, Ars-sur-Formans, Paray le Monial, Nevers, the Miraculous Medal in Paris and Lisieux. The guide chosen for a Pilgrimage Tour plays a key role and is carefully selected by FTP. We can organise at no charge a Private mass in the shrines that you visit if your group is travelling with its own priest.

Battlefield tours

"My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity."

The quote is from the preface of the poems of arguably the greatest of the Great War poets - Wilfred Owen. It characterises the emotional and moving travel experiences that can be experienced when visiting the sites of the Great War (1914-1918),  such as Ypres, Flanders, the Somme and the cemeteries of the fallen. From the Normandy beaches to Arnhem and Nijmegen there is something for anyone with an interest in World War 2 history.

Cycling

Whatever or wherever it is in France you or your group wants to see why not do it with the freedom and adventure that comes with cycling ?
