Itinerary
Across 13 days, your route runs from Paris into the Loire Valley, where vineyards pattern the land. In Carcassonne, you pass between narrow streets and fortified walls, hear voices brush against the stone and the medieval city seems to answer in faint echoes. Between Beaune and Bordeaux, patterned rooftops and stone courtyards give way to 18th-century façades and the hum of city streets. Further south, on the French Riviera and in Monaco, the Mediterranean breeze slips along elegant boulevards, private yachts dot the water and sleek cars flash along the coast. In Normandy, you’ll see the shore where Allied soldiers first reached France, sand and sea carrying the weight of WWII history.
day 1Bonjour Paris
You begin in Paris, where past and present weave through Haussmann boulevards, cafe terraces, museum doors and the quays of the Seine. After check-in, there is time to head into the city, where cafe conversations spill out onto the pavement and quieter corners wait just beyond the main avenues. You might catch the scent of a croque monsieur warming on the grill or glimpse your first view of the monuments that shape the capital. Today's Optional Experience will pair a cruise along the Seine with a scenic drive taking in many of the city's main sights from the sculpture lined Pont Alexandre III to the towering ironwork of the Eiffel Tower.
