We began our journey in the City of Lights, Paris, for 6 nights. They saw the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame Cathedral and Versailles. The group also takes a walking tour of the historic neighborhoods, such as the city island and Montmartre, to get a feel for the city’s vibrant culture.
After saying ‘adieu’ to Paris, we visit a charming town, Bayeux, in the Normandy region. We saw the Bayeux Tapestry, a famous 70-meter-long embroidered linen cloth that tells the story of the Norman Conquest of England. The group also explores the town’s beautiful cathedral and medieval streets. Spent another day visiting all sights related to World World II, especially D-Day Invasion.

We visited the fortified city of St. Malo, exploring the city’s ramparts, visiting the Saint-Malo Cathedral, and strolling through the charming streets lined with cafes and shops.
