Dear Friends,

For those who didn’t get a chance to join our successful trip to France in June 2014, here is a second change to experience a trip-of-a-lifetime. Join us in June 2016!

If your passion is great food, delicious wines or just spectacular scenery and good company, then travel with us as we explore the ins and outs of a truly French experience with our personal French food and wine specialist aboard, Mrs. Ranan Richardson.

We will travel through the southeastern part of the country, starting in the Côte d’Azur with its renowned beaches and fascinating steep cliffs, decorated with magnificent villas and fishing villages. In the peaceful Provence with its dazzling landscapes, we will pass through villages and castles, fields of lavender and

distinguished vineyards. A visit to Monaco with its Haute Couture lifestyle and a drive on the Formula One track are included, as well as the City of Popes, Avignon. We will sniff, sip and taste our way through the wine roads of Burgundy and visit the hometown of mustard: Dijon.

This tour is for a maximum of 25 participants! We will wine and dine in local bistros and elegant restaurants, where no large tour buses are welcomed and at the end of our tour, the City of Lights awaits us with its breathtaking history, fabulous shopping and… who knows? Maybe a visit to Stade de France (the National Stadium of France), we are in Paris during the European Championship in Soccer!

Provence will be to visit to the Lavender Museum. The nearby hilltop village of Gordes is one of the most stunning villages in France and duly awarded the “Plus Beaux Villages de France”. Its castle is located on a hilltop with the houses and buildings of white stone knit together with an amazing labyrinth of “calades” (narrow cobblestone streets). You’ll be overwhelmed with its charm. Lunch is in the garden over looking the plains of Provence. We’ll make one last stop on our way to Avignon in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, a medieval village tucked in a “closed valley.” Here we have the opportunity to visit the original paper mill dating back to the 15th century.

In 1308, Pope Clement V, the former Archbishop of Bordeaux, relocated the papacy to the city of Avignon. He was a great lover of wines and did much to promote it during the seventy-year duration of the Avignon Papacy. Afterwards we’ll make a stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Antic Roman Pont du Gard (the Bridge of the Gard), where we can admire the stunning architecture of an aqueduct bridge.
