Trip Summary
3 nights in Paris
Paris is regarded as one of the most dynamic cities in Europe, and for good reason: the city assaults the senses; demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. Gaze at impressive monuments and savor its gourmet cheeses, chocolates, wines, and seafood. Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with many of its major sights and museums within walking distance of each other. A world of discovery awaits in every hidden corner and at all the famous sites, there is so much to explore.
Visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Jardin des Tuileries, Latin Quarter, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe and so much more!
2 nights in Strasbourg
Strasbourg has been `walking the tight rope` between France and Germany, and is all the more exciting and beautiful for it. We`re left with a city boasting beautiful turn-of-the-century districts built by the Germans, and hi-tech 17th-century fortifications designed by Vauban. The sense of cross-pollination continues in the cuisine and wine, and also in the presence of international institutions like the European Parliament.
Visit The Musée Alsacien, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, La Petite France, Maison Kammerzell, Quartier Krutenau, Historical Museum, Parc de l`Orangerie, European Parliament, and so much more!
2 nights in Colmar
Colmar it's Alsace's most beautiful city, abounding with medieval and early Renaissance buildings.The houses are surrounded by tiny gardens and washhouses. Colmar's old quarter is filled with streets of unexpected twists and turns looking more German than French. Colmar is a gateway to the Rhine country and also a major destination for travelers heading south from Strasbourg.This town is also known for the Colmar International Music Festival, a great festival of classical music in its infinite variety.
Explore La Petite Venise, The Dominican Church, Ancienne douane, St Martins' Church, Unterlinden Museum, and so much more!
2 nights in Beaune
Beaune is a bustling, wealthy, charming place of pilgrimage for art lovers, wine lovers and gastronomes. It is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the district. It`s history goes back over 2,000 years, once a Gallic sanctuary, then a Roman town. Until the 14th century, it was the residence of the ducs de Bourgogne. The Côte de Beaune, is known for its Burgundy wines, and Beaune is known for its annual wine sales organized by the Hospices de Beaune. This is also considered the unofficial wine capital of Burgundy and a great central location to explore the region.
Explore Old Beaune, Hôtel-Dieu, Phare Wine Region, Local Wine Experiences, Château de Savigny, Dalineum, Château de la Rochepot, Véloroute, Basilique Notre-Dame and so much more!
3 nights in Lyon
Lyon is the third-largest city in France offering an imposing history shining through its picturesque streets and monuments from all ages. Parks, skyscrapers and sidewalk cafes, a great transport system, and a nightlife fueled by student energy invigorate Lyon. It has the finest food in France and you will have the chance to discover the "Châteaux" and taste the unequaled wine! There`s the Ancient Theatre dating back to the Roman Empire, the medieval Vieux Lyon quarter, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière from the 18th century but also the Opéra Nouvel built just a bit more than a couple of decades ago. And, dotted here and there, the mysterious Traboules, that adds a new dimension to the way you explore a city.
Explore the Musée des Beaux Arts, Vieux Lyon, Presqu`ile District, Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, Parc de la Tête d`Or, Traboules, Ancient Theater of Fourvière, Musée Gadagne, Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, and so much more!
