France, Extension to Provence region, French Rivieria

Venture beyond the City of Light to capture a more complete picture of French culture, history, and cuisine. Once you take in the breathtaking Parisian sights, journey east toward the German border to Strasbourg—a city known for perfectly blending both French and German influences. Before immersing yourself in ancient Roman ruins in Lyon, France’s second-largest city and gastronomic capital, you’ll tour an independent, family-run mustard mill in Dijon. Then, take your tour to new heights as you explore the picturesque medieval town of Annecy, located in the foothills of the French Alps.
