Day 1 : Paris

Bonsoir travellers! Hope you’re ready for 7 epic days of French food, culture and views. Our first rendezvous is in the City of Love (obvs). This evening, we'll grab a welcome dinner with the crew, before hopping onto our coach to discover Paris by night. Get ready to capture the view of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe AND the Louvre! Wanna get a birds-eye view? Finally, we'll catch a magnificent view of Paris from its tallest skyscraper. First nights are rarely this fascinating!

Accommodation : Ibis Paris Porte D'Orleans Hotel (or similar)

Day 2 : Paris

Croissants, coffees, pastries and perfumes - feeling like a Parisian already? After a French perfumery visit this morning, you’ll have the chance to discover this city’s charming Patisseries. Then, you’ve got free time to hit all the epic museums here (you’ll love The Louvre!), and hit a local foodie hotspot for dinner.

Accommodation : Ibis Paris Porte D'Orleans Hotel (or similar)

Day 3 : Paris to Normandy

Au revoir, Paris. Next stop? The historic region of Normandy. History nerds, it’s your time to shine. We’ll stop by for lunch in the quaint medieval town of Bayeux. Then you’ll visit the historic D-Day Landing Beaches & all its memorials. A quick tour of the Omaha Beach Museum will fill you in on their significance. A short drive later, we’ll reach Caen - our home for the night. You’ve got plenty of restaurants to choose from for dinner tonight. Something tells us you’ll be eating a lot of apples here…

Accommodation : Ibis Budget Caen Centre Gare (or similar)

Day 4 : Normandy to Orleans via Mont Saint Michel and Château de Chambord

Normandy: Morning, sleeping beauties. Today’s agenda is all about jaw-dropping views. So freshen up, feast on breakfast and hop on! Mont Saint Michel:Cameras at the ready! This beautiful island (topped with a charming Abbey) will have you swooning over its unique perfect silhouette. After some free time to explore all the intricate streets, we’ll head on to our next stop. Château Chambord:We’ll drive through the Loire Valley that’s famous for its chateaus. Best part? You have the chance to visit THE most charming one out here - Château de Chambord! Orleans: The sun’s about to set. Tummies are starting to grumble. Surprise! Dinner’s on us tonight. So fuel up before we head out again tonight to discover Orlean’s historical hotspots.

Accommodation : Ibis Orleans Centre Foch (or similar)

Day 5 : Orleans to Reims via Champagne Region

Adieu, Orleans. The home of elegant bubbles awaits us. Raise a toast, because today you have the chance to discover a historical Champagne house on a guided tour (and taste some of that fizzy goodness too, ofc!). When in France…right? Time to tick another delightful French city off our list. Welcome to Reims! After checking into our hotel for the night, we’ll head out to get oriented with the city’s sights (including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims).

Accommodation : Ibis Reims Centre (or similar)

Day 6 : Reims to Paris via Château de Chantilly

Oh, Reims - you’ve been a dream. But before we head back to Paris, we’ll stop by another chateau!  You’ve got the option to frolic around the garden, or check out how the finger-licking tasty Chantilly cream is made in a local workshop. This is your final chance to live like French nobility. Nice to see you again, Paris. It’s our final night here, so there’s only one thing left to do - watch a Cabaret show with a delicious dinner, ofc!
