Paris
Paris is regarded as one of the most dynamic cities in Europe, and for good reason. The city assaults the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. Gaze at impressive monuments and savor its gourmet cheeses, chocolates, wines, and seafood. Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with many of its major sights and museums within walking distance of each other. A world of discovery awaits in every hidden corner and at all the famous sites, there is so much to explore.
Visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Jardin des Tuileries, Latin Quarter, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Sacre Coeur, and so much more! -
Rouen
The capital of Normandy, Rouen is one of the country's most ancient cities, with 2,000 years of history. Laid out by the Duke of Normandy in 911, this city on the Seine is rich in historic associations, from William the Conqueror, who died here in 1087, to Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake on place du Vieux-Marché in 1431. Nowadays, Rouen is a bustling, vibrant city, alive with activity generated by the industries connected to the port and the students at nearby universities and art schools.
Admire the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Abbatiale Saint-Ouen, Aître Saint-Maclou, Palais de Justice and Monument Juif, Tour du Gros-Horloge (Big Clock Tower), Eglise Saint-Maclou, and so much more! -
Bayeux
Bayeux is famous the world over for the Bayeux Tapestry, an 11th century linen hanging, embroidered with various colored wools. Similar to a picture book, it shows through successive images the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror, and is displayed in a museum in the town center. The town's medieval center features cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and the towering, Norman-Gothic Cathedrale Notre-Dame. Located only six miles from the Channel coast, Bayeux also offers excursions to the WWII Landing Beaches of Normandy as well as nearby chateaux and abbeys.
Explore Bayeux Cathedral, Baron Gérard Museum, Old Town, Bayeux Market, War Cemetery, Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy, and so much more! -
Mont Saint Michel
A magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery, Mont-Saint-Michel is one of France's most stunning sights. For centuries it has been one of Europe's major pilgrimage destinations, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with its breathtaking bay. Perched on a rocky, cone-shaped islet in the midst of immense sandbanks, the site, dedicated to the archangel St Michael, is surrounded by massive walls measuring more than half a mile in circumference and is connected to the shore by a causeway.
Visit Abbaye du Mont Saint-Michel, the ramparts, Grand Rue, La Mère Poulard (Restaurant), Mont Saint-Michel Pilgrimages, Musée Historique (History Museum), Musée de la Mer et de l'Écologie (Museum of the Sea and Ecology), and so much more! -
Blois
Blois, a hillside city on the Loire River, is a piece of living history, with cobblestone streets and restored white houses with slate roofs and red brick chimneys. Some of its 'streets' are mere alleyways that were originally laid out in the Middle Ages, or lanes linked by a series of stairs. The city is famous for its chateau, which is like an illustrated storybook of French architecture. The Château Royal de Blois is a former royal palace with ornate chambers featuring paintings and sculptures from the 16th to 19th centuries.
Explore Château de Blois, Beaux-Arts Museum, Fondation du Doute: Museum of Contemporary Art, Maison de la Magie (House of Magic), Rocher de la Vierge, Historical Museum, tour Beauvoir, take a boat ride on the Loire River, visit nearby chateaux in the Loire Valley, enjoy the many gardens, and so much more! -
