An Exclusive Curated Journey to the Heart of France October 2026

Our adventure originates in Paris, where we will embark on the exquisite yacht, Victoria, for a private dinner cruise along the Seine River. Once aboard, the vessel is all ours for the evening, as we indulge in fine French cuisine, wine and free flowing Dom Pérignon and take in the enchanting views of the Paris as twilight casts its magic. In Paris, we will stay at the 5-Star Hotel Grand Powers, a truly magnificent property offering a posh respite from our trip across the pond.

The following day, we will take a short drive into the French countryside for a three-night stay at the stunning and historic Domaine de Sandricourt. Domaine de Sandricourt is a centuries old chateau, renowned for its impeccably managed wingshooting and breathtaking landscapes. Shooters will spend two days immersed in the tradition of wild gray partridge and driven pheasant shooting, with expert hosts ensuring a thrilling and seamless experience.

After breakfast, we will then say our goodbyes to Sandricourt and depart with our private driver to Versailles. We will have a private and exclusive tour of the Palace of Versailles.  This tour is a unique excursion outside the usual tourist areas. A specialized private guide will accompany us to Versailles, where you are whisked away behind velvet ropes and private doors into the intimate quarters of Versailles and into the secrets that lay behind those doors.

After the exclusive tour, we will have a private Sunday Brunch in Airelles Chateau de Versailles, where we will be treated like royalty. The different dishes are carefully served one after another, as part of this incredible feast of yesteryear.

From Versailles we venture on to L’Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay, a stunning 12th-century abbey nestled in the heart of the Rambouillet Forest. This enchanting estate combines medieval architecture with modern luxury, offering serene landscapes, tranquil lakes, and lush gardens.

The following day, shooters will enjoy extraordinary duck and pheasant shooting at Chateau de Voisins, a breathtaking estate known for its exceptional mallard hunting. After a morning of touring, non-shooting companions will join our hunters for lunch and an afternoon exploring the chateau.
