France

This was a sell-out trip in 2022!

France Beyond Paris reaches outside the traditional tourist destinations to focus on the uncrowded charms of Normandy and Brittany. Dramatic coastlines, quiet villages and architectural charms form the highlights of this week-long journey. There will be many fresh air experiences: optional e-biking, walking in small villages, the Normandy beaches, and private visits to several memorable sights. Of course, the WW2 museums and Bayeux tapestry are on the schedule. Our time together will focus on the comfortably spacious and soothing parts of Normandy and Brittany. Come take a further look!

Indulge in the casual and relaxed pace of Southern France. These azure skies give meaning to the term “French Blue”, and the gnarly olive trees, heady lavender, perky sunflowers, and sublime local wine and food are unsurpassed.  Our week introduces you to the lovely countryside of Provence as well as the impressive Mediterranean coastline. Explore the land of Van Gogh, Chagall and Cezanne.  Discover the magical arid landscapes and millennia of culinary traditions, celebrated wines and rich history.  Acres of peaceful countryside await your exploration.
