France – a mix of countryside, history, and city. We start in Versailles then move on to Giverny, Caen in Normandy where we’ll explore World War II sites, Saint-Malo (Brittany’s coastal village), Chinon, and the Loire Valley where it’s time for a winery tour!  Our last nights are in Paris where we have lunch at a modern bistro before taking a scenic cruise along the Seine River to see landmarks like Notre Dame Cathedral, the Conciergerie, and Ile Saint-Louis. AND our farewell event is an exclusive dinner at the Eiffel Tower. This trip will have two separate groups. October 1-12, 2026 is sold out but you can click here to book October 8 – 19, 2026.
