10 or 13 days

Paris, Biarritz, Provence, French Riviera, with extension to Cinque Terre and Milan | BJF


For beauty to lie in the eye of the beholder, it has to be seen in the first place. Paris, the brimming metropolis of French heritage, and your first stop on this cultural escapade–here you will marvel at Notre-Dame’s majestic architecture and the city’s romantic boulevards, whose inimitable charms enchant and intrigue those who visit the City of Light. From there, you'll journey along the Basque Coast, where the air is tinged with the salty spray of the Atlantic, and carries the echoes of fishermen's tales passed down over generations. Wander through Provence and the French Riviera, where the Pont du Gard stands as a testament to Roman ingenuity, the Papal Palace proves the medieval significance of Avignon, and the Nimes Amphitheatre bears the dents and scuffs of gladiators' swords. In Nice, let the azure allure of the Mediterranean invite you to explore the opulence of nearby Monaco, and the medieval charm of Eze, culminating in the sensory delight of The Fragonard Perfume Factory. This fascinating foray promises to inspire and enlighten, weaving the colourful peculiarities of French life together into a single, spellbinding cultural experience.
