11 Days/10 Nights, 6-12 travelers per departure
Begin your France tour in Paris, the “City of Lights”, France’s capital and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its picturesque 19th-century architecture is criss-crossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine that makes Paris an insatiable city for both first-time and frequent visitors. Explore the UNESCO world heritage site of Versailles. Forget all about time in the peaceful Monet’s Gardens in Giverny.
Continue on to Avignon, one of Europe’s most remarkable Medieval cities, located on the banks of the Rhône River, in southeastern France. You will discover the incredibly preserved 800-year-old stone battlements of Avignon and the impressive Pope’s Palace with a local guide.
Walk on the famous Pont du Gard, an ingenious 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct. Visit charming villages such as Roussillon and Gordes in Provence, full of French country charm. Discover medieval villages perched above vineyards renowned for producing full-bodied, deep red wines, and easily the most alluring of the region’s wine towns.
