When to Travel – Like most European countries, summer and fall are the best times to travel to France – this is when the days are long, and it’s fairly dry in the areas where this itinerary takes us. From mid-May to early- October is recommended, although it does get a bit cool toward the end.
Destinations
Champagne, Alsace & Black Forest in Germany
For many a tourist, France beings and ends in Paris – and while the city is undoubtedly the ‘star’ attraction of France, for a traveler, the French country side has much more to offer. This truly unique personalized experience will take you from the glamour of Paris, to the Champagne region, where we see how champagne is made, and taste the bubbly at some premier vineyards. We continue onto the Alasace region of France, known for its scenic drives and picturesque villages and into the Black Forest, known as one of the most scenic drives in Europe. And yes, we will try the world-famous Black Forest Cake, perhaps take back some for our family!
