In a few words

A journey through the Baltic States , encountering three nations with unique identities, between European heritage and unspoiled nature . From Lithuania , marked by its tranquil lakes , winding rivers , and the medieval elegance of Trakai , we travel to Latvia , still relatively unknown, where flower-filled countryside and ancestral castles reveal themselves far from the crowds. Each stop immerses us in a rich past, shaped by the intertwined influences of successive empires.

Our journey ends in Estonia , whose wild islands , stone fortresses , and rural villages frozen in time reveal a unique atmosphere, imbued with authenticity. Led by passionate guides, we discover these lands through their traditions , architecture , and diverse landscapes , from historic cities and verdant plains to windswept coasts .

A balanced and discovery-rich itinerary, ideal for those who wish to explore an off-the-beaten-track Europe , between culture, nature and living memory .

The highlights

  • Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia: three countries and three splendid capitals in one trip
  • A cultural discovery encompassing castles, folklore, fortified towns, and Soviet history.
  • Easy hikes through countryside, lakes, wooded hills and National Parks

The tour is led by French-speaking guides who are specialists in their respective countries. You will have a different guide each time you travel to a different country. For cultural and linguistic reasons, we have chosen to assign a different guide to each country so that each guide can share their specific knowledge and passion with you throughout the trip.

Please note that you will be exploring "Nordic" countries, and the cultural habits of your guides and hosts are somewhat different from our Latin customs. The people have diverse origins, and the Nordic people have their own distinct character, so don't be surprised by the discretion and reserve of those you meet. This is not indifference but a sign of respect in that region.

Your driver and his minibus will accompany you from your arrival in Vilnius until your departure in Tallinn. He is the link between the three guides throughout the entire journey.
