France Magnifique

Truly a magnificent trip. From pick up to drop off, we had a wonderful experience. From the halls of Versailles to the beaches of Normandy to a farewell dinner IN the Eiffel Tower, this couldn’t be beat, and our tour guide Philippe enhanced every moment. A wonderful trip experiencing a wonderful country with wonderful trip mates. Definitely, definitely France Magnifique. Merci!

We saw so much - this was a fabulous tour for seeing Versailles, Normandy & Paris. Would have enjoyed seeing a couple more chateaus in the Loire Valley. Did not need to visit an apple orchard - would have preferred seeing another of the Normandy beaches, perhaps Juno. We only went to Omaha Beach. The evening event at Versailles with the fountains, music & fireworks was a wonderful surprise addition to the tour. Thank you!!!! Dinner at the Eiffel Tower was such a special way to wrap up the Collette tour.

I was extremely impressed by the Normandie part of the trip and all the cities involved, but I was not prepared for how the Paris sites blew me away. The dinner at the tower and the structure itself was worth the price. We also appreciated the professionalism and the willingness to go beyond the needs of the entire group by the tour director Diana. Bless all those that died during the liberation.

Normandy area; time in Paris; only down side - more free time and not on a Sunday - everything closed. Tour Manager - fabulous!!!

The food at the hotels were average. Nothing special. There was little free time to explore the cities. Very little time in Paris

It was a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed every day.

Great tour guide and wonderful group of people Hotels rooms were very small but in good location The Castle in Loire Valley needs a lot of work and had no air conditioning. Food was average except excellent in restaurant in Caen. All in all a great value

this was not the high end tour we thought we paid for. Checking into hotels was not very smooth. No atempt was made to get the group into venues ahead of the mobs of people.

Good trip, but wrong time of year. Height of tourist season, crowds were horrible. Same trip during off season would be terrific.

The tour highlights were outstanding. We saw so much. And the background information was excellent. Soha was an excellent guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very kind. The hotels were very “French”. However the last three Collette restaurants were just ok. It was exciting to be in the Eiffel Tower despite the food. I would still highly recommend this tour and Soha was outstanding.

Overall an excellent tour covering Northern France including Place of Versailles, Monet’s home and gardens, WWII D-Day Landing Sites, Le Mont St. Michel, and Paris.

The tour guides were so knowledgeable, that added a lot to the trip.

DD invasion with American cemetary. Effiel tower with dinner, Versaille Pallace and Mont St Michelle.
