France, extension to Italy


Draw a more complete picture of France as you compare the medieval streets of Paris to the relaxed vibe of the Riviera. In Paris, admire the weight and beauty of the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, then soak in the open landscapes and coastal attitudes of Provence and Nice. Along the way, open your mind to French culture and history, from the Eiffel Tower to the Pont du Gard.
