Day 1 - Paris - Admire the glittering cityscape of Paris, past grand boulevards and iconic sites like the Champs Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.

Day 2 - Rouen and Honfleur - Venture to the city of Rouen, the tragic site where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake. We travel to the enchanting harbour town of Honfleur - its narrow lanes and colourful shop fronts have long attracted artists who have immortalised its beauty on canvas.

Day 3 Normandy, including Omaha Beach - Pay tribute to the brave souls who lost their lives on the D-Day Landing Beaches of Omaha, imagining the sense of terror and triumph felt the fateful day that Allied forces set foot on mainland Europe.

Day 4 & 5 - Mont St. Michel - Visit Mont St. Michel's medieval Benedictine Abbey. Legend has it the abbey was built after the Archangel Michael appeared to the Bishop of Avranches, inspiring him to build a church atop the island.

Day 6, 7 & 8 - Loire Valley - Visit the Amboise Royal Château. It is here that King François I hosted Leonardo da Vinci, whose tomb now lies in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert adjoining the château. Continue with a visit to Chenonceau, built on the Cher River. The château is often referred to as the Ladies Castle, due to the many women who influenced its construction and development. Today it contains priceless collections, including Renaissance furniture, tapestries, and masterpieces by Rubens and Tintoretto.
