HIGHLIGHTS
- Since the 14th century, Bordeaux’s fortunes have been tied to viticulture, resulting in a city of classical and neoclassical style, with monumental buildings and fine mansions financed by the almighty grape.
The walled city of St. Malo is a quaint maze of fine old buildings, museums and cafés serving Breton specialties of crepes and cider, where you can stroll along the ramparts and walk the cobblestone streets.
- Honfleur is a lively town and a bustling port, where fishermen can be seen hauling in the daily catch, and where the quality of light has long attracted illustrious artists such as Monet, Turner and Millet.
-Stylish and sophisticated, Antwerp is filled with monumental reminders of its prosperous medieval and Renaissance past, but is now reinventing itself as an exciting contemporary city and a hot spot for foodies.
- The colors of Amsterdam beckon you around every corner, from the famous tulips in the flower market to the rustic boats docked along the canal, with an overnight stay in port.
- Contoured by vineyard-clad hills and castles from yesteryear, the legendary Rhine captivates. Experience the allure of France’s Alsace region in its welcoming capital, Strasbourg, and its priceless gem, Colmar.
- Discover Breisach, rising above the vineyards of the Rhine, and Freiburg, one of Germany’s sunniest cities and gateway to the Black Forest.
- Fabled towns lost in time present you with the chance to taste local flavors—Rüdesheimer coffee and legendary German beer—and to touch history up close with guided hikes and bike rides.
