France, Germany and the Alps

9 or 11 days

Paris, Lucerne Region, Munich, with extension to Vienna | FGA

Experience European history from three different angles. In Paris, feel the echoes of the Revolution in the Place de la Concorde. Munich’s charming Glockenspiel and cobblestone streets transport you back to the Middle Ages. In between, the spectacular mountain scenery of Lucerne belongs to no particular era; the grandeur and beauty of the Alps is truly timeless.
