Globus
Paris, Normandy, & Chateaux Country
Isn’t it time you nipped monotony in the bud? From fields of yellow sunflowers to cellars of pink rosés, this fascinating tour of France invites you to survey the sensuous land and pick the perfect bouquet. Fragrant gardens and aromatic wines are just the beginning of the sweet experiences that await from the City of Light to the sunlit regions of Normandy, and the Loire Valley. Tiptoe through the tulips at Claude Monet’s rainbow-colored gardens, float down the castle hallways in dreamy Chateaux country, and swirl and sip your way from the lively cafés of Paris to the storied wineries of the French countryside. Traveling from the Seine to the sea, we’ve handpicked the best coastal experiences—the resort town of Deauville, the famous Abbey of Mont St. Michel, and the poignant beaches of Normandy, site of the Allied Forces’ D-Day invasions during World War II.
| Day 1 |
France's capital and most populated city, Paris is an alluring destination and an essential stop for any global traveler. A center of fashion, gastronomy, arts and finance, Paris is also a major transportation hub, and will host the 2024 Olympics.
Major tourist attractions in the City of Lights include the Eiffel Tower (such great heights!), the Louvre (home of the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo), the Arc de Triomphe, and Grand Palais. (The famous Notre Dame Cathedral is currently closed indefinitely for renovation due to a 2019 fire.) Marquee annual events in this world-renowned city include Bastille Day (July 14 each year, including flyovers, a military parade and fireworks) and Paris-Plages (mid-July to mid-August), where a temporary beach — complete with sand, chairs and palm trees — is created on the Right bank of the Seine River. Cobblestone walkways, beautiful bridges, breathtaking architecture, radiant streetlamps... Paris has ambiance to spare. Whether sitting at a cafe or actively exploring timeless landmarks and art, millions of visitors have discovered that Paris contains multitudes. |

A beach of elegance and sophisticated lifestyle within easy reach of Paris. Its large hotels, luxury shops, convention centre, golf courses, thalassotherapy centre, the celebrated Planches and well-preserved historic buildings make it world famous. Just 2 hours outside Paris, the seaside resort on the "Côte Fleurie" and gateway to the Pays d'Auge area of Normandy has largely preserved its early twentieth century character. With its typically Norman timber-framed residences and colourful parasols on fine sandy beaches, the town retains its original charm while offering the luxury, comfort and faster pace of contemporary life. Open all year round, Deauville lives from season to season, and each season that passes leaves no wrinkles, but just good memories. |

Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks exposed to powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany stand the "Wonder of the West", a Gothic-style Benedictine abbey dedicated to the archangel St Michael, and the village that grew up in the shadow of its great walls. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a technical and artistic tour de force, having had to adapt to the problems posed by this unique natural site. |
| Day 7 |
The Loire Valley is the "Garden of France". The valley is the bed to the country's longest river, the Loire, and its many tributaries: the Cher, the Indre, the Vienne, and Loir. It was the battleground of Joan of Arc in the Middle Ages and became the playground to the aristocracy from the 14th to the 18th century. Many of their luxurious private chateaux are now publicly owned historical monuments. These man-made wonders coupled with a countryside of natural beauty and
recreational activities make it a favorite destination for visitors. |
