FRANCE

5 Star France~ From Paris to Normandy

Duration

13 days, 12 nights

A château, a 1,000-year-old village and the magic of Paris, entwined like the woven threads of medieval tapestries. This journey through northern France honors timeless traditions, shares stories of valor and courage, and celebrates landscapes so beautiful they are immortalized by artists and poets. This up close and personal discovery of France will take you through countless more châteaux uncovering.

Lay your head to rest in a château called "home" in the 1700s by Prince Tallyrand and the Duchess of Dino. At a château owned by the same family since the 1720s, you are welcomed during a private reception and dinner that includes a hunting hounds demonstration in full regalia. Formal gardens inspire awe during your visit to Château de Villandry, and the Apocalypse and Bayeux tapestries mesmerize at Château d'Angers and Château Josselin near the Brittany Coast.

Visit Normandy's poignant D-Day beaches, magnificent Mont-St-Michel, Monet's beloved Giverny and Chartres Cathedral. In Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral entices with Gothic wonders; explore Musée d'Orsay along with Paris' landmark sites, and bid Paris adieu with a private farewell dinner cruise on the Seine.
