Welcome to Paris! Once you’ve arrived in the city and checked into your hotel, you’ll have some time to stretch your legs and hunt down a delicious French pastry. In the evening, we’ll meet for a welcome dinner and you can get to know the group.

The morning will start with a tour of the city’s historic Marais neighborhood before we head to the the world’s most iconic landmark—the Eiffel Tower. In the evening, we’ll take a magical cruise down the Seine to watch the city sparkle.

Our day trip to Reims is the perfect opportunity to learn more about champagne. We’ll explore a champagne house and have a tasting before heading back to Paris for dinner.

After breakfast you’ll have some free time to do some shopping, make a quick trip to a museum, or take one last stroll through the city before we board the train to Bordeaux.

The morning kicks off with a walking tour so we can get to know Bordeaux. Later in the day we’ll learn more about French cuisine in a traditional cooking or baking class. Don’t worry if you’re not a whiz in the kitchen—our trained chef will make it easy, fun, and delicious!

We can’t visit Bordeaux without trying some of its famous wines. Today we’ll head into the countryside to visit some wineries and learn about what makes this region’s drinks so special.

It’s time for one last breakfast with the group before we say farewell and head back home.

If you’d prefer to head back to Paris via train and fly home from there, please let us know. We can arrange your train ticket and, if necessary, additional night(s) in a hotel.
