Paris, Provence and the south of France

From the Left Bank of the City of Light, to Provence and the French Riviera, we will immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of France. Join us as we spend our days touring and our nights dreaming of everything French!

We begin our journey in Paris, Europe’s most beautiful and electrifying city. With walks along the Seine, visits to the cathedrals of Notre Dame and Sacré Coeur Cathedral, and exploration of the The Eiffel Tower, no opportunity will be missed!

After departing Paris, we travel by high-speed train to our southern base of Aix-en-Provence:. From here, we will explore the region that inspired artists such as Cézanne and Van Gogh.

From Provence, we will head to Saint Raphael and enjoy the sights of the French Riviera. The scenery here has inspired artists from Renoir to Matisse. Our afternoons and evenings will be spent basking in the atmosphere of this iconic place and will include a trip to Saint Tropez.

Our journey will conclude with a farewell feast at the stunning Château de Chantilly. Just outside of Paris on 155 hectares of parkland, the Château’s beauty and history will captivate us as we celebrate our program.
