Discover Intimate, Family-Guided Boutique European Vacations with Le Bon Chaperon

For over 25 years, our family has been traveling across Europe, falling deeper in love with its rich culture, relaxed pace of life, warm people, and incredible food.

Through Le Bon Chaperon, we invite you to experience Europe alongside us — through intimate small-group journeys designed with warmth, beauty, and authentic local connection.

Imagine joining our close-knit family on an intimate boutique tour of Europe—small groups only, personalized attention, insider tips on hidden gems, authentic cuisine, wine, and culture. We want you to fall in love just as we have… and keep returning year after year.

Why Choose Our Umbria Small Group Tour?

  • Intimate & family-hosted: Travel with your personal “bon chaperon” sharing insider tips from 25+ years of European adventures
