France & Benelux

France & Benelux Escorted Holidays

France is effortlessly chic, bursting with romantic cities, pavement cafés perfect for people watching, world-famous food and wine, and a southern coastline which epitomises Mediterranean glamour.

In Belgium we discover a perfect blend of French and German culture, Renaissance architecture, and medieval squares brimming with welcoming beer halls. Then there's the Netherlands. Get lost in an endless sea of blooming tulips in Keukenhof Gardens, and stroll alongside labyrinthine canals lined with characterful houses in Amsterdam. These destinations delight at every turn, and there is no better way to see them than by Europe's efficient, high-speed rail network.

From the bustling French Riviera to the charming windmills and canal networks of Amsterdam, our epic escorted rail tours of France and the Benelux offer a variety of picturesque locations. With the three diverse countries within its domain, the economic union of Benelux has a remarkable number of attractions. Whether you want to explore an array of destinations on your holiday or have your sights set on one specific place, we have a tour that will appeal to you. 

As with all Great Rail Journeys holidays, the services of one of our experienced Tour Managers are included to ensure that every aspect of your holiday runs smoothly and to provide any advice or assistance that you may require. 

Take a relaxing journey through the lush vineyards of Southern France, sample the delicious chocolate of Belgium or enjoy some shopping in the fashionable city of Paris as you travel to the most popular and scenic locations on offer. Featuring vibrant cities, historical towns, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and areas of exquisite natural beauty, our escorted rail tours of France and Benelux have something for every traveller.
