Paris and Provence Welcome, ladies, to a special visit to France - Paris and Provence!
Our stay starts in a small, centrally-located
boutique hotel in Paris with views of the Eiffel Tower from every guest
room. We will explore the sites of beautiful Paris, the "City of
Lights", enjoying the famous cuisine of France in small bistros and
brasseries.
Relax, dine and enjoy cocktails on the high
speed train TGV to lavender-scented Provence. There, we will spend
our days at a 13th century auberge (featured in Maisons & Decors
Mediterranee magazine) in the heart of Provence. Daily trips will
be taken throughout the region -- Avignon, Chateau-Neuf-du Pape, and
Cassis, the markets of Aix, the Luberon and the surrounding medieval
towns of Roussillon, Gordes and Bonnieux. Your trip in France includes:
The price for these tours is $3,595.00 per person, exclusive of airfare. Whether at our Parisian hotel or on the
terrace or poolside at the Prieure, looking out onto 25 acres of olive
trees and lavender warmed by the glow of a crimson sunset, you will feel
pampered and treasured.
Lunch in Chateau-Neuf-du Pape will include a wine tour, tasting lessons and catered lunch prepared specifically for us with wine pairings for each course.
We have daily choices of activities ranging
from kayaking down the Sorgue River to renting vintage convertibles to
zip through the countryside. If you prefer to spend a day poolside with a book, cooling off in the pristine pool of the Prieure, your wish is our command...

Cassis by boat, feast on seafood in this picturesque Mediterranean

dating to the Middle Ages.
