Featured Destinations
Loire Valley
The Loire Valley is rich with meandering streams, majestic oaks, quiet roads, and lush green countryside. Its royal châteaux and pastoral villages grace its overwhelming natural beauty. Easy access from Paris, breathtaking architectural masterpieces, tiny discoveries hidden in the gentle folds of the landscape, accommodations from delightful to sumptuous, the excitement of great food and wine, and sports and leisure activities make this an ideal spot for an unforgettable holiday. Visitors can delight in picturesque cobblestone streets and take day tours to many points of interest just minutes from every major Loire Valley town. The patchwork fields, cool forests and lazy rivers of the Loire Valley invite active vacationers to walk, cycle, windsurf, sail and canoe in the gentle countryside. Visitors can drift leisurely over the châteaux and countryside in a hot air balloon or enjoy spectacular sights while floating along on a houseboat or barge.
Mont-St-Michel
A rocky island located in the largest bay in Europe, Mont-Saint-Michel is known as 'The Marvel of the Western World'. The Abbey which takes up most of the island is one of the most famous Pilgrimage Centers dating back to the Middle Ages. Mont St Michel is one of France's best loved sights. On a sunny day a trip to this picturesque island set in the heart of the Normandy region, a region rich in history is a refreshing break from the fast city life of Paris.
