After 14 years of guiding tours, creating journeys and building relationships throughout France, our founder has decided that it was time for a change of name. Carte Blanche Tours is becoming Détours & Guides

Tourism can either nourish a place or strip it of its soul. At Détours & Guides, we refuse the “quick dollar” and cookie-cutter souvenirs. We craft real experiences, away from the crowds, where artisans, farmers, and villages keep their authenticity alive. Our mission: tourism that preserves, sustains, and adds value to communities—not just snapshots for travelers.
