LUXURY CANADA

France abounds in cultural and historical heritage. Simply put – there is so much to see! You could spend two months here and not see the half of it. For that reason, it's best to tackle a few regions you've always dreamed of visiting. This itinerary will show you the very best of Paris, Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. You will begin your journey in "the City of Light," as the energetic, cosmopolitan capital city of Paris is affectionately called. Paris is the city of fashion, Napoleon's tomb and 3rd century Roman baths.

From here you will continue north to Normandy, where you will experience its medieval past and traditional cuisine – as well as pay respect to the soldiers who bravely fought in the WWII's Normandy Invasion. Afterwards you will travel south into the heart of France to experience the rich, historical heritage of Brittany as well as the out-of-this-world castles of the Loire Valley Region. While it is a comprehensive itinerary that will keep you on your sightseeing toes, there are also plenty of moments of downtime to relax, shop and explore on your own.
