Tour Introduction:
France is located in Western Europe and features a diverse landscape that includes both mountainous regions and coastal areas. The Ile de la Cité, which was the original home of the ancient Lutece civilization, should be your first stop in Paris. In this location stands Notre Dame de Paris, a masterpiece of the Gothic art style that has stood guard over the Seine for more than eight hundred and fifty years. Montmartre, the villager, the Latin Quarter, and the centuries-old Louvre Museum are just a few of the areas that may be discovered in Paris. When one thinks of Bordeaux, the first thing that springs to mind is the wine produced there and it should come as no surprise thanks to its 7000 producers and 60 appellations. When you travel to Bordeaux, you won't just learn about wine; you'll also learn about sites that are inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage sites. Travel to the south to enjoy the splendor of the coastline, appreciate the flavor of freshly caught oysters, and run your hands over the smooth sand of the Archon basin. Join us on this fascinating journey of discovery and adventure to explore World Heritage sites, culture, local cuisine, nature, and lovely chateaux.
