Welcome, Solo Travelers!
We'll be staying in a spacious six-bedroom house, with each traveler enjoying their own large private room—absolutely no solo supplement. As a longtime solo traveler myself, I know the joys and challenges of traveling independently, and it’s those experiences that inspired me to create this company.
First-time solo travelers are especially welcome! I’ll share stories from my very first solo trip and help make your journey comfortable, fun, and unforgettable.

What to Expect
At We Wander France, we believe in creating a truly intimate experience. Each tour is limited to a group size of just 6 to 8 guests, ensuring that every traveler receives personal attention and the opportunity to connect with like-minded adventurers. Our daily walk range between 3 to 7 miles, following moderate terrain at a comfortable pace that allows for discovery, conversation, and plenty of scenic pauses.
A moderate fitness level is recommended—you should feel confident walking several miles each day and enjoy being outdoors for extended periods. That said, our itinerary is thoughtfully designed to be enjoyable, not exhausting, and includes time for rest and exploration.
The tour package includes charming, modern accommodations in a large stone home with large private rooms, all guided walks, and transportation throughout your stay. Included meals are breakfast and lunch out to eat at local restaurants. Most dinners will be eaten in on your own at the accommodation. We will visit grocery stores for dinner wants and needs. There are 2 well appointed modern kitchens in the home with full sized appliances and refrigerators. There are laundry facilities on site. Please note that flights to France and transportation to the meeting point are not included.
