Trip Summary
2 nights in Paris
Paris is regarded as one of the most dynamic cities in Europe, and for good reason: the city assaults the senses; demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. Gaze at impressive monuments and savor its gourmet cheeses, chocolates, wines, and seafood. Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with many of its major sights and museums within walking distance of each other. A world of discovery awaits in every hidden corner and at all the famous sites, there is so much to explore.
Visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Jardin des Tuileries, Latin Quarter, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe and so much more!
1 nights in Dijon
Located in the center of the Côte d'Or, Dijon is the old Capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. It honors the French gastronomical tradition with its mustard, its blackcurrant cream, and its gingerbread. Between meals, you can enjoy the art and architecture. Its medieval core with many old streets and buildings have been restored. University town, business district and culture, Dijon has a varied hotel offer, an auditorium and a significant capacity of reception for any form of event.
Visit the Palace of the Dukes, Museum of Fine Arts, Eglise Notre-Dame, Museum of Burgundian Life, Musee Magnin, Science Gardens, Hotel de Vogue, Place Francois-Rude, Tower of Philippe Le Bon, Les Halles covered market, and so much more!
1 nights in Lyon
Lyon is the third-largest city in France offering an imposing history shining through its picturesque streets and monuments from all ages. Parks, skyscrapers and sidewalk cafes, a great transport system, and a nightlife fueled by student energy invigorate Lyon. It has the finest food in France and you will have the chance to discover the "Châteaux" and taste the unequaled wine! There`s the Ancient Theatre dating back to the Roman Empire, the medieval Vieux Lyon quarter, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière from the 18th century but also the Opéra Nouvel built just a bit more than a couple of decades ago. And, dotted here and there, the mysterious Traboules, that adds a new dimension to the way you explore a city.
Explore the Musée des Beaux Arts, Vieux Lyon, Presqu`ile District, Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, Parc de la Tête d`Or, Traboules, Ancient Theater of Fourvière, Musée Gadagne, Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, and so much more!
1 nights in Nimes
Nîmes is one of the oldest cities in Europe, renowned for its ancient heritage and its especially festive southern atmosphere. The city is a beautiful destination with rich architectural heritage and a wealth of history including the best-preserved Roman amphitheatre in the world. There is so much for visitors to enjoy between its contemporary architecture, splendid private mansions, cathedrals, Roman temples, and historical monuments. Wander the streets and squares, indulge in the local cuisine, and enjoy a game of golf as you marvel at the amazing history. You will find plenty of interesting things to do while visiting Nîmes.
Visit The Amphitheatre, Maison Carrée, Gardens of La Fontaine, Temple de Diane, La Tour Magne, Carre d`Art, Pont du Gard, Castellum Divisorium, Les Halles, Nimes Cathedral, Roman Gates, and so much more!
1 nights in Avignon
The fortified city of Avignon is located in the lush vineyards of the Rhone Valley, rich in history, artistic brilliance, and Provencal life. From churches and chapels to film festivals and street musicians, Avignon was named the European Capital of Culture in 2000, and the city has been one of France's major artistic centers for centuries. Whether you're exploring the scenic waterways of Provence, Avignon's mixed culture, gastronomy, world-class wine, or the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, you will be sure to create a memorable travel experience in the city of Avignon.
Visit The Palais de Popes (Pace of Popes), Pont St-Benezet, Musée du Petit Palais, Place du Palais, Musee Calvet, Basilique St-Pierre, Eglise de St-Agricol, Porte du Rhone and so much more!
2 nights in Nice (French Riviera)
Nice is the capital of the Riviera, yet far less glamorous and expensive than Cannes. It's also one of the most ancient, having been founded by the Greeks, who called it 'Nike' or Victory. Because of its brilliant sunshine and relaxed living, it has attracted famous artists and writers in the past. Being the best trip base on the Riviera, you can choose to explore the region or lounge in its famous cafes. But the most obvious hangout spot here is the beach. The beach in Nice consists of rocks so wear a pair of good sandals.
Explore the Promenade des Anglais, Musee Matisse, Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Cours Saleya, Castle Hill, Old Town, Place Massena and so much more!
