Description

For all the peripatetic, fun-seeking people out there, this one's for you.  You love travel.  You love Europe.  You love The Music Hall.  You'll love this.  Read on, s'il vous plait!

This is a 11-day tour through the heart of France, starting in the City of Love.  Oui, Paris.  Home of the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees.

From there, you will board the 120-passenger M/S Bizet, a river ship built with travelers in mind.  You?ll enjoy uninterrupted views of orchards and fertile pastures lining the banks of the Seine. You?ll disembark to visit Conflans, or ?Van Gogh Country,? meet with a local family in Vernon during a Home-Hosted Visit, take a walking tour of Rouen (made famous by Joan of Arc), and more. Then you?ll arrive in Honfleur, where moving remembrances await you as you journey to the beaches of Normandy, visit the World War II Peace Memorial Museum, and pause at the somber field that is the American Military Cemetery.

You?ll savor freshly prepared meals from the upper-level dining room.  You'll enjoy leisure time in the bar and lounge, library, and sun deck.  You will revel in every beautiful moment, every new view, every glimpse of life in this fabulous part of the world.  This is a trip not to be missed.  For those who know the feeling of joie de vivre, this trip is for you.  Do it.  Bon Voyage!
