Country Roads of France

Travel from the perfume of Riviera gardens and Monaco’s sea air to the butter-warm scent of Parisian pâtisseries on this 16-day journey through France. You'll follow the tight bends of Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit, then cross the cool marble floor of the cathedral where Princess Grace lies at rest. In St Paul de Vence, a pétanque ball lands with a crack against the gravel before you lift a chilled French aperitif to the afternoon. Walk beneath Carcassonne’s towers and along its fortified walls, running your hand over stone that has stood for centuries. While, through the Dordogne, you pass wooded slopes, farm fields and villages laid out along the river.
