Trip Summary
2 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, Sacre Coeur, and so much more!



2 nights in Tours

Situated at the confluence of the Loire and Cher rivers, Tours is an excellent base for visiting the region's magnificent châteaux. The original home of the French language and the 'art de vivre', Tours has a modern, lively center with a thriving university. Experience the city's charm by visiting the old quarter, the cathedral, Saint-Gatien, whose flamboyant Gothic facade is flanked by towers with 12th-century bases and Renaissance tops, as well as the Touraine Wine Museum, the fine-arts museum, and Plessis les Tours.

Explore the Old Quarter and Pilgrims, Place Plumereau, Priory Saint-Cosme, Saint-Gatien Cathedral, La Psalette Cloisters, Saint-Martin Basilica, Botanical Garden of Tours, Museum of the Compagnonnage, markets, châteaus, and so much more!



1 nights in Lyon

The beautiful city of Lyon is situated at the confluence of the Rivers Rhône and Saône. As the county's third largest city, and the gastronomy capital of France, it is a major tourist destination offering UNESCO listed historical sites, hidden gems, world-class food experiences, and an abundance of impressive architecture.

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, Opéra Nouvel, and so much more!



2 nights in Nimes

Nîmes is one of the oldest cities in Europe, renowned for its ancient heritage and its especially festive southern charm. The city is a beautiful destination with rich architectural heritage and a wealth of history including the best-preserved Roman amphitheatre in the world. There is so much for visitors to enjoy between its contemporary architecture, splendid private mansions, cathedrals, Roman temples, and historical monuments. Wander the streets and squares, indulge in the local cuisine, and enjoy a game of golf as you marvel at the amazing history. You will find plenty of interesting things to do while visiting Nîmes.

Visit the Roman Amphitheatre, Maison Carrée, Gardens of La Fontaine, Temple de Diane, La Tour Magne, Carre d`Art, Pont du Gard, Castellum Divisorium, Les Halles, Nimes Cathedral, Roman Gates, and so much more!



1 nights in Aix en Provence

The most charming center in all Provence, Aix-en-Provence is a university town that was once a seat of aristocracy, its streets walked by counts and kings. The slower way of life and the incomparable light fascinated many artists, and its beautiful countryside inspired the painter Paul Cézanne for a lifetime. Summer brings frequent cultural events, ranging from opera to jazz, June through August.

Visit Musee Granet, Cours Mirabeau, Caumont Centre d`Art, Mont Sainte-Victoire, Cathedral St. Sauveur, Camp des Milles, Atelier Cezanne, Terrain des Peintres, Fondation Vasarely, Thermes Sextius, Pavillon de Vendome, and so much more!



2 nights in Nice (French Riviera)

Nice is the capital of the French Riviera, yet far less glamorous and expensive than Cannes. It's also one of the most ancient cities, having been founded by the Greeks, who called it 'Nike' or Victory. Because of its brilliant sunshine and relaxed living, it has attracted famous artists and writers in the past. Being the best trip base on the Riviera, you can choose to explore the region or lounge in its famous cafes. But the most obvious hangout spot here is the beach. The beach in Nice consists of rocks so wear a pair of good sandals.

Explore the Promenade des Anglais, Musee Matisse, Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Cours Saleya, Castle Hill, Old Town, Place Massena, and so much more!
