Elizabeth first met Elsa years ago at a local outdoor market in Provence; she grew up in the hills near the village of Les Baux-de-Provence.

What a perfect name for a specialty trip planning company promoting French travel and culture. These one-of-a-kind journeys to southwest France start this fall and focus on hidden gems of the region. Yes, you will see cliffside villages, majestic fortress castles, bucolic countryside, ancient cave paintings along with fabulous food and wine but you will also learn about photography and archeology. Founded by Elizabeth New Seitz, a PhD and former university French professor, these small group journeys are led by Seitz who offers expert-guided wine tastings in Bordeaux, eating through Corsica, photographing in southwest France, and antique shopping in Provence. To keep the spirit of France alive while at home, the company also offers virtual (and in person) French language courses, wine tastings, cooking classes, history lessons and shopping tips.
