Trip Summary
2 nights in Cannes
Just 150 years ago, Cannes was nothing more than a fishing village, but today it's an elegant city known around the world for attracting an international clientele. Something is always happening in Cannes from international regattas and galas, to concours d'élégance, and even a Mimosa Festival in February, but Cannes is at its most frenzied during the International Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on promenade de la Croisette. On the seafront boulevards, flashbulbs pop as the stars strike a pose.
Enjoy Boulevard de la Croisette, Le Suquet (Old Town), Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Notre-Dame de l'Espérance, Musee de la Castre, Vieux Port, the beaches, Chapelle Bellini, and so much more!
2 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 Marseille
Marseille is the second-largest city in France and its premier port. The Vieux Port, is still at the center of city life, with fishing boats, yachts, and cabin cruisers all moored together with larger ships. Ancient remains, early modern buildings, and twentieth century office and housing blocks make up the physical fabric of a thriving city. Urban infrastructure, Mediterranean climate, and a convenient location make it an attractive center for vacations and conventions.
Explore MuCEM, Villa Mediterranee, Musee Regards de Provence, Vieux Port (Old Port), Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, Le Panier, Musee Cantini, Chateau d`If, Calanques National Park, Le Canebiere, Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde, and so much more!
<b>France</b> remains one of the worlds most talked-about and written-about destinations. Whether the romance of Paris sweeps you off your feet or you fall gently for the relaxed life of Provence, France is a place for lovers, and will leave you spellbound. Paris is undoubtedly one of the world's great cities, with enough monuments, museums, restaurants, theatres and shows to last a lifetime. The northern provinces of Normandy and Brittany are steeped in history while the Loire Valley is world famous for its châteaux.
