This holiday is the perfect way to see the highlights of Paris as well as the World War II landing beaches in Normandy, Brittany, and the Loire Valley. Begin in Paris with a welcome dinner and guided sightseeing that includes the highlights, including a bird’s-eye view of the city from the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. Via Rouen, where Joan of Arc was burned in 1431, continue to Caen for an overnight. Then, travel to Normandy, where World War II comes alive at the Memorial Museum for Peace, the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach, and at Sainte Mère Eglise with its poignant parachute memorial. Next up: Mont St. Michel, a scenic drive across Brittany to the 13th-century castle at Angers, and the Loire Valley for a special included “châteaux day.” Visit the jewel of the French Renaissance, Château Chambord; Catherine de Medici’s lovely Chenonceaux; and Clos Lucé to admire Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions. Time to explore gothic Chartres Cathedral before returning to Paris for the end of your French holiday!
