Welcome to Paris! Upon arriving at the airport, we will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel. Check the information boards in the hotel reception area for details of the welcome meeting with your guide and fellow travellers.
Today we take a guided tour to discover the history, main boulevards and the breath-taking monuments of Paris. Later in the day, we provide a transfer to the Montmartre district. This neighbourhood is known for its painters, artists, and its cabarets. Sit down for lunch and enjoy this magical place where you can choose from the various cuisines this area has to offer. We will then return to the hotel or take some leisure time to enjoy the city.
Today we will include a transfer to Versailles, with its immense palace and beautiful gardens. Free afternoon.
Early departure from Paris, travelling towards Normandy, making a stop in Giverny. We will visit Monet’s House and its impressive gardens (entrance included); we learn about Impressionist art, which had its center in Normandy. The journey continues to Rouen, the capital of Normandy with its medieval streets and cathedral. Here we have time for a stroll and to take lunch. We continue to Arromanches, on its beaches we are reminded of the World War II landings in France. Last stop is Caen, where we take some leisure time in the central district.
Note: From November to March Monet´s house is closed to visitors, therefore there will be no stop in Giverny.
First thing in the morning we travel to Mont Saint Michel, time to see the Abbey located within the city on an island. After this, whilst travelling in the Bretagne region, we stop at Saint- Malo (whose powerful walls defend the city), where we will have time for lunch. In the afternoon we continue to Dinan, take some time to explore this Breton village full of charm. We continue our way to Rennes, the capital of Brittany with its interesting and monumental historic centre.
We leave for Angers. Those who wish to do so can visit the castle that has the largest medieval tapestry about the Apocalypse. Then we continue to the Loire Valley: Tours, the capital of the region, on the banks of the Loire, time to explore and have lunch. In the afternoon we visit Villandry Palace, which is famous for its gardens and flowers; admission to gardens included. Accommodation and dinner included in Amboise a city with a very interesting medieval quarter.
A day to learn more about the Loire Region. First a stroll through Amboise in the early hours to the Clos Lucé mansion where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last 3 years of his life. Exploring the Loire region in a little more depth, we visit Chenonceau Castle (tickets included), built like a bridge over the River Cher.
