THE LOIRE VALLEY
- As you will probably arrive at CDG International airport, we plan for you to pick up the rental car there and drive 3hr30 to the Loire Valley. For you to rest and enjoy your first day in France, we will recomend a great stop-over for lunch.
- For the first 4 nights, you will stay in a welcoming Bed & Breakfasts, between Amboise and Chenonceau, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Your hostess is an excellent cook. At night relax in the lovely garden and one night, enjoy a table d’hôtes dinner prepared by your lovely hostess.
- Located on the south banks of the Loire River, this charming B&B is within short driving distance of Chenonceau castle and Amboise or Tours beautiful historic cities. You will also wander off the beaten path into tiny villages stretched along the Cher and Loire rivers and get a taste of French gastronomy in restaurants and local markets we have tested for you.
- Touraine is also famous for its vineyards – Chinon, Bourgueil, Vouvray, Amboise and many more – and also its gastronomy. For this reason, we plan for you to spend a late afternoon cooking with your hostess a main dish and a local dessert. Then you will savor a full meal based on your work - with your hosts and fellow travelers. A “very French” experience.
BACK TO PARIS
- On the 5th day, you will drive back to Paris (about 3hrs) and drop off the rental car at the closest agency from your hotel – as you won’t need a car in Paris. End your French journey living the Parisian life! For 3 nights, you will be comfortably accommodated in a very cozy 3* hotel, in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Your room enjoys a unique view over one of Paris most famous landmarks. You will discover the French capital city’s must sees and hidden beauties. We will prepare different itineraries to explore Paris by foot, by boat or using public transportation.
- One night, you’ll laugh a lot at a great one man show (in English) making fun of the differences between the Anglo-saxons and the French people. A great way to enjoy Paris nightlife!
- On your last day, you will only be one hour from Paris downtown to CDG airport.
