Tour Itinerary Paris _ the South of France

							Tour Itinerary: Paris & the South of France
10 Days:
Tour:
The pageantry, panache, and pastries of Paris, followed by the sun, surf, and sparkle of the South of France? Mais oui. Delve into
the country’s capital, from the artistic masterpieces hanging in the Louvre to the fashion creations hanging off the shoulders of the
locals. Dip south into sunny and colorful Basque country, then meander into Provence and the Côte d’Azur, playgrounds for
artists, royalty, and the serious beach set.
