Côte à Côte

Côte à Côte is a ten-day French language-immersion tour that moves your group from the grand boulevards of Paris to the walled port city of St. Malo, through the château country of the Loire Valley, and finally down to the sun-soaked Côte d'Azur. That arc is deliberate: each stop layers a different register of French history, architecture, and daily life, so the language your students are working to master keeps showing up in new contexts — at a Parisian café, on the ramparts of a medieval Breton city, along a riverbank lined with Renaissance châteaux, and in the narrow lanes of a Riviera hilltop village. The itinerary is built for French-language learners, and every day is structured to put students inside the living language rather than just observing it from a bus window.

What teachers say

Verified by teachers — two ways.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.

Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.

Overall

When we switched to Passports from our previous travel company, we wanted two things: better food and less time on the bus. Passports exceeded our expectations! We loved having hotels where we could walk and didn't have to get on a bus. Even riding the subway in London was a fun experience!

I have always appreciated how flexible we are able to be on Passports tours. This is one of the main reasons I have decided to continue traveling with the company. Thank you for another great trip!
