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.

Lourdes
Lourdes is a world renowned pilgrimage site for Catholics that houses some of the most highly-regarded religious sites in the world. Visit the sanctuaries of Our Lady of Lourdes, to discover where the Virgin Mary first appeared. Don't miss the Basilica of Rosary, the underground basilica, the torchlight Procession in the evening, and drinking the water from La Source spring. It is believed to have healing properties. The area embodies both the natural and ethereal beauty of its landscape and architecture, and offers stunning views of the grand Pyrenees Mountains.

Carcassonne
Land of history and tourism, this great fortress city, perched on a rocky hilltop, rises against the spectacular background of the Montagne Noire, the Black Mountain, to the north. The fortified city of Carcassonne looks like something out of a children's storybook when it's seen from afar, and time seems to stand still in this magical place. Whether it's the Cathar castles, fortified Cité de Carcassonne and the more expansive lower city, or the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne offers a land with a unique character to be explored.
Visit Pont Vieux, La Cité de Carcassonne, Château Comtal and Ramparts, Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, Lac de la Cavayere (Lake), The Australian Park (Le Parc Australien), Canal du Midi, Hill of Pech Mary, the 4 Castles of Lastours, wine vineyards, and so much more! -

From churches and chapels to film festivals and street musicians, Avignon was named the European Capital of Culture in 2000, and the city has been one of France's major artistic centers for centuries. Whether you're exploring the scenic waterways of Provence, Avignon's diverse culture, its gastronomy and world-class wine, or the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, you'll be sure to create a memorable travel experience.
Visit The Palais des Papes (Palace of Popes), Pont St-Benezet, Musée du Petit Palais, Place du Palais, Musee Calvet, Basilique St-Pierre, Eglise de St-Agricol, Porte du Rhone, and so much more! -
Nice (French Riviera)
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera, yet far less glamorous and expensive than Cannes. It's also one of the most ancient cities, having been founded by the Greeks, who called it 'Nike' or Victory. Because of its brilliant sunshine and relaxed living, it has attracted famous artists and writers in the past. Being the best trip base on the Riviera, you can choose to explore the region or lounge in its famous cafes. But the most obvious hangout spot here is the beach. The beach in Nice consists of rocks so wear a pair of good sandals.
