What destinations to discover during your tour in the United States?
The United States offers a diversity of landscapes and cultures that make each region unique. Your tour can take you from the Californian coasts to the skyscrapers of New York, through the deserts of Arizona and the bayous of Louisiana.
The American West and its national parks
The West of the USA is often the heart of the most popular US tours. This region is home to some of the country's most iconic sites, starting with the Grand Canyon in Arizona, a geological marvel that stretches for 446 kilometers and reaches depths of up to 1,600 meters. Monument Valley, straddling Arizona and Utah, offers its iconic rock formations that have been the backdrop for countless westerns.
The West Coast is enticing with its legendary cities. Los Angeles, the City of Angels, immerses you in the world of Hollywood with its studios, the Walk of Fame, and the upscale neighborhoods of Beverly Hills. San Francisco charms with its bohemian atmosphere, its famous Golden Gate Bridge, and its historic cable cars. Las Vegas, the oasis of Nevada, dazzles with its casinos, grandiose shows, and extravagant architecture.
The national parks of the American West are must-see stops: Yosemite and its giant sequoias, Death Valley and its lunar landscapes, Bryce Canyon and its colorful rock formations, or Yellowstone, the world's oldest national park with its spectacular geysers.
The East Coast and its iconic metropolises
The East Coast embodies American history and culture. New York, nicknamed Big Apple, remains a top destination with its legendary sites: the Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Each neighborhood in Manhattan tells a different story, from SoHo to Chinatown.
Washington, the federal capital, impresses with its iconic monuments: the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and its many world-renowned museums. Boston, the cradle of American independence, captivates with its historical heritage and prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT.
Chicago, known as the "Windy City," fascinates with its bold architecture and dynamic cultural scene. Philadelphia, the city of the Declaration of Independence, offers a journey through American history with its perfectly preserved historical sites.
The American South, between nature and culture
Florida is a prime destination for sun and nature lovers. Miami Beach attracts with its white sand beaches and colorful Art Deco architecture, while Key West, the southernmost island of the United States, offers a uniquely relaxed atmosphere. The Kennedy Space Center allows you to explore the history of American space exploration, and the Everglades reveal an exceptional subtropical ecosystem.
New Orleans, in Louisiana, enchants with its unique cultural heritage blending French, Spanish, and Creole influences. Jazz resonates in the streets of the French Quarter, and the local cuisine offers incomparable flavors.
How to organize your customized tour in the United States?
Organizing a tour in the United States requires meticulous planning given the vastness of the American territory, which spans over 9.8 million square kilometers. Our Travel Planners assist you at every step of this preparation to optimize your time and budget.
The first step involves defining your priorities and the duration of your stay. A 10-day tour allows you to discover a specific area, such as the American West or the East Coast, while a 15 to 20-day trip offers the opportunity to combine multiple regions. For a first-time discovery, we often recommend focusing on one geographical area to fully enjoy each destination without spending too much time in transit.
The choice of transportation greatly influences your experience. Auto touring remains the most popular formula for exploring the vast American spaces, offering total freedom to stop wherever you like. Domestic flights allow you to quickly cover large distances, especially useful for connecting the East Coast to the West Coast. Some tours combine the two approaches depending on the travel stages.
Our Travel Planners carefully select accommodations according to your preferences and budget. From charming hotels in city centers to authentic lodges in national parks, through luxury resorts in Florida, each establishment is chosen to enrich your experience. Booking restaurants, particularly important in major metropolises, is also part of our service.
Administrative formalities require special attention. The ESTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is mandatory for French nationals and must be requested at least 72 hours before departure. Our Travel Planners assist you in these procedures and provide all the practical advice you need: travel insurance, currency exchange, tips, driving in the United States.
The budgetary aspect varies considerably according to your choices. A tour in the United States can cost from 2,000 to 8,000 euros per person depending on the duration, season, level of comfort, and included activities. Our experts offer different options to optimize your budget without sacrificing the quality of your experience.

Spring (March to May) offers excellent conditions for discovering the entire American territory. Temperatures are pleasant, nature comes to life, and you avoid the summer crowds. It's the ideal season for a tour combining several regions.
Summer (June to August) remains the tourist high season, particularly popular for family trips. All the national parks in the West are accessible, but temperatures can be high in the deserts. It's also the most expensive time for accommodation and flights.
Autumn (September to November) offers exceptional conditions, especially on the East Coast where autumn colors transform the landscapes. Temperatures remain mild, and prices start to drop after the high season.
Winter lets you discover certain regions from a different angle, like Florida, which then enjoys its best climate, or New York under the snow during the holiday season.
