Southwest France: Bordeaux to Toulouse

Your own guide, your own vehicle, and an itinerary shaped entirely around you.

About This Tour

A 10-day private route through Southwest France — Bordeaux's wine scene, the UNESCO village of Saint-Émilion, medieval Sarlat and the Lascaux cave paintings, cliffside Rocamadour, Cahors, and Toulouse, the Pink City. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — the original TravelLocal route hands you a rental car in Bordeaux on Day 1. Voyzo runs this exact day-by-day route with your own private driver and vehicle instead, so there's no rental-car pickup, parking, or navigating unfamiliar roads on your end. The whole route stays within France, from Bordeaux through the Dordogne (Saint-Émilion, Sarlat, the Lascaux caves, Rocamadour) to Cahors and Toulouse.
