Tour Itinerary

Prepare to fall head over heels for France on this 13-day journey through its most enchanting regions. Wander the vineyard-laden Loire Valley, bask in the glamour of the French Riviera, and uncover the charm of historic towns from Beaune to Bordeaux. Explore medieval Carcassonne, learn about WWII history in Normandy, and let the beauty of France’s scenic landscapes steal your heart.

  1. Day 1
    Arrive Paris
    It's time to explore Paris’s grand past, its dynamic present and exciting future. This is one capital city that doesn’t hold back and doesn’t expect you to either. Dive right into the history, culture and culinary delights of this extraordinary city, from the iconic Iron Lady to croque monsieurs, lazing on the banks of the Seine, or visiting museums and monuments. After checking in there’s time to relax or explore the city your way, but you might like to get a head start on your sightseeing by joining a Choice Experience - a Seine cruise and scenic drive taking in many of the major sights.Accommodation: Mercure Paris Porte d'Orleans
  2. Day 2
    Paris sightseeing and free time
    The Parisians know a thing or two about beauty, elegance and a life well lived, which your full day in Paris will deliver in abundance. Hit the grand boulevards on a city sightseeing tour through the heart of the city conducted by your Travel Director. See the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées, then perhaps choose to tread in the footsteps of Picasso and Dalí during an optional visit to Montmartre, exploring the cobbled streets and Artist’s Square. Enjoy an optional dinner experience this evening.Accommodation: Mercure Paris Porte d'Orleans
    Meals:   Breakfast
  3. Day 3
    Paris – Beaune – Lyon
    Au revoir Paris. The City of Light will keep shining, but for now your sights are set on medieval Beaune where the official raison d'être is the local wine. The beautiful marketplace and 15th-century Hôtel-Dieu are yours to explore before later continuing your journey to Lyon. Get your bearings during an orientation tour, then perhaps consider joining a Choice Experience delving into the rich history of the city and the classical French cuisine that helped make it famous.Accommodation: Chromatics
    Meals:   Breakfast
  4. Day 4
    Lyon – Aix-en-Provence – Monaco – French Riviera
    Follow the Rhône Valley south and enjoy some free time in the Provençal town of Aix-en-Provence, founded by the Romans over natural hot springs. The last leg of your journey southwards stretches out to the shimmering Mediterranean coast, where the Principality of Monaco and the Côte d'Azur await. Keep your cameras at the ready as you drive along its elegant boulevards and attempt to capture the sophistication that seems to ooze from every corner.Accommodation: Ibis Cannes Mandelieu
    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  5. Day 5
    French Riviera free day
    Ooh là là! A full free day on the French Riviera. There’s no shame in spending the day sprawled out on a sun-lounger with a cocktail, but if you can pull yourself away from the beach you’ll want to join your fellow travelers for an optional exploration of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Life is rather idyllic in this enchanting walled hill-town and, like some of its famous residents, you’ll want to linger here a little longer. You never know who you might spot seated in those sleek Ferraris and private yachts that dot the French Riviera.Accommodation: Ibis Cannes Mandelieu
    Meals:   Breakfast
  6. Day 6
    French Riviera – Arles – Pont du Gard – Avignon
    Fuel up on a characteristically French breakfast of croissant and coffee before embarking on your next adventure. Today you travel west to the Camargue center of Arles, where Vincent Van Gogh found inspiration for so many of his paintings. Next, you'll view the magnificent Pont du Gard, an aqueduct carefully constructed in the first century to supply fresh water. Continue to the heart of Provence and the city of Avignon which features one of the world's most incredible religious architectural legacies.Accommodation: Ibis Avignon Sud
    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  7. Day 7
    Avignon – Carcassonne – Lourdes
    Like a scene straight from the pages of a children’s storybook, Carcassonne stands proudly on a hillside behind fortified stone walls. Its undeniable charm is evident when you come across the town’s 12th century architecture and turreted medieval castle. From fairy tales to the foothills of the Pyrénées, your next stop is the town of Lourdes where you’ll tread in the footsteps of the millions of pilgrims, who have made the journey to pay homage to St. Bernadette and view the basilica on top of the Grotto where she is said to have seen visions of the Virgin Mary. This evening presents an opportunity to join a procession by torchlight with the pilgrims – a truly magical and moving experience.Accommodation: Mercure Imperial
    Meals:   Breakfast
  8. Day 8
    Lourdes – Biarritz – Bordeaux
    The beach is back on the agenda today, so get your hat and sunglasses ready for a trip to the glamorous seaside town of Biarritz on the Atlantic coast. There’s no need to think about what to do next. Take your cue from the European royals who have been visiting this resort town since the 1800s and find your new favorite spot on a wicker chair in the sun. If watching local surfers perform their stunts isn’t enticing enough, you could choose a Choice Experience into the Basque country. After a good dose of sun, sea and lofty peaks, it’s back into the rolling countryside of Les Landes and onwards to our final destination of the day, Bordeaux.Accommodation: Ibis Center Mériadeck
    Meals:   Breakfast
  9. Day 9
    Bordeaux – Saint-Émilion – Tours
    After a night sampling Bordeaux blends and the city’s eclectic mix of street life and well-preserved 18th century architecture, a new adventure awaits. The hilltop village of Saint-Émilion is an appealing stop for red wine lovers. This is château country and there’s no better way to explore it than joining an optional wine tasting at a historic vineyard. Continue to your hotel by the city of Tours, known as the gateway to the Loire Valley.Accommodation: ibis Tours Center Gare
    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  10. Day 10
    Loire Valley and Châteaux excursion
    Indulge your inner king or queen when you embark on a whimsical tour to Chenonceau with a Local Specialist. This enchanting, fairy-tale château straddling the Cher River is the most photographed sight in the Loire Valley and it’s easy to see why. Explore its priceless collections of Renaissance art and furniture and stroll through the exquisite landscaped gardens before continuing to the royal town of Amboise where Leonardo da Vinci is said to be buried. Your encounter with French nobility not quite at its end, you’ll view the splendid Château de Chambord, one of the world’s most remarkable châteaux. Make the most of your last night back in Tours with an Optional Experience to visit the Old Town and enjoy Touraine cuisine in a traditional restaurant.Accommodation: ibis Tours Center Gare
    Meals:   Breakfast
  11. Day 11
    Tours – Mont Saint-Michel – D-Day Landing Beaches (Omaha) – Deauville
    Only the epic sight of a medieval town rising out of the sea could compete with the beauty of the Loire Valley and your visit to Mont Saint-Michel will certainly not disappoint. Hear how the Archangel inspired the Bishop of Avranches to build a church atop this rocky outcrop, then continue your journey to the iconic D-Day landing beaches where thousands of Allied soldiers first landed on French soil, in what became the largest seaborne invasion in history. After a poignant stop at the Normandy American Cemetery at Omaha Beach, you’ll continue on to your hotel in Deauville. This elegant resort is renowned for its racecourse, harbor and high-profile international film festival held in September.Accommodation: Ibis Deauville Center
    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  12. Day 12
    Deauville – Honfleur – Rouen – Paris
    You’ll wish you had the talents of Monet during your brief visit to the colorful port town of Honfleur. It’s easy to see why this 'most ravishing spot in the world' was immortalized on canvas by many of the world’s greatest artists. Next head to Rouen, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Despite this tragic episode, there’s much to fall in love with here, from the cobbled streets to Gothic churches and the impressive cathedral. After a busy day engaging with all that history, return to the glittering French capital for the final evening of your adventure. Consider joining an Optional Experience dinner and a cabaret performance for a celebration of your memorable journey with new friends.Accommodation: Mercure Paris Porte d'Orleans
    Meals:   Breakfast
  13. Day 13
    Depart Paris
    And just like that, you’ve seen all the highlights of France. From Paris and beyond, you’ll be finishing your trip this morning with a lifetime’s supply of memories. Say a fond au revoir to your Travel Director and newfound friends.

I have mixed feeling about this trip. It went to all the places noted, the guide was very professional, the bus was new and well equipped. However,I would summarize the trip as trying to do too much in too short a time. We often experienced days when we stoped at a place (Aix, Arles, Biarritz were examples) where after a quick orientation, we had 1 1/2 hours to explore and get something to eat. That was WAY too short a time to see a place. After several days of this with several stops, you could start to see the fatigue setting in. The best example of this was, according to the guide, that we traveled 4000 kms in a bus in 12 days!! Some possible solutions are 1) break it into 2 trips. A northern France version and a southern version, each say 10 days. 2) eliminate some of the stops so that you can get a better feel of where you DID visit. 3) Make some of the stops where you will visit the location first thing in the following morning. Mont Saint Michel being an obvious example.
