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

Beneath the charm of Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine lies a history of Roman roads, medieval crusades, and wars that forged the region’s spirit. From the Romans’ vision of connected cities to the Cathar resistance, the Hundred Years’ War, and religious conflicts, each era left scars and strengths. Today, “le vrai midi” still defends its languages, heritage, and way of life — a living story etched in stone and soul.
