Concept of "Paris & S-France Escorted Tours Package"

Tailor-Made Escorted Tours:

Let our experienced guide pick you up at your Paris hotel for a journey through the history of France regions, from Paris itself, to the Seine and Loire chateaux, then down to the Mont St. Michel and the Normandy D-Day landing beaches of World War II.

Whether for romance, history, indulgence or artistic inspiration, Paris is the destination for experiences you’ll never forget. Explore soaring landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and underground hideaways like the Catacombs. Browse some of the world’s richest collections of art and recall la Belle Époque. Sip Sauvignon blanc and feast on coq au vin. Seat yourself at a sidewalk cafe and watch the Parisians do their thing. This is the time to discover your Paris.

Most sightseeing is conducted by private minibus. For some included visits and optional excursions, be prepared for some more walking through elaborate monuments and museums, with steps.

You will then travel to the Beaches of Normandy in a deluxe mini-van vehicle. First you will stop at "The Pointe du Hoc", 90 feet high cliffs, where 225 Rangers landed on the morning of June 6, 1944. It was one of the strong points of the German fortifications. Then you will continue your day of remembrance and stop at Colleville sur Mer to visit the American Cemetery, Overlooking Omaha Beach, which contains over 9,000 white crosses perfectly aligned on 170 acres. A chapel and memorial add the finishing touches to this moving scene allowing visitors to reflect on the price of war. You will then leave and stop at other famous WWII locations such as Arromanche and the vestiges of the artificial harbour (Mulberry Bridge), Longues-sur-Mer and the German artillery battery, which gave the allied a pounding on the morning of 6th June. It is actually the only coastal battery to have kept its guns, giving an impressive picture of what an Atlantic Wall gun emplacement was really like. Before returning to your Paris hotel, you will visit the Caen Memorial, a place for reflecting on war in general and on what WWII meant, and still means, to the world...
