FRANCE
France is a very popular, special destination place for Canadian travellers! We go there for cooking classes, for wine courses and for royal palaces. While in France we can cruise the Seine, go truffle hunting or lay on the beaches of the Cote d'Azur. And one a more serious note – thousands of Canadian visitors still flock to the shores of Normandy to honor the fallen from the D-day Invasion.
Perhaps you have a special interest in France such as perfume making, Victor Hugo, the literary works of Alexandre Dumas, Paul Cezanne, pastry making, Claude Monet, the Normandy Invasion, the Norman Conquest, Edgar Degas, Champagne, Impressionism, the French Revolution or Loire Valley castles. You might be interested in traveling extensively throughout the French countryside, taking cooking classes and doing wine tastings – or might prefer basing itself in its elegant capital city of Paris for an urban holiday complemented by some easy-to-do day trips. Paris is also easily combined with nearby European capital cities like Brussels, Amsterdam and London. Europe Express regularly handles groups of all sizes and works directly with deluxe hotels as well as budget-conscious properties.

Chic. Sophisticated. Iconic. France’s cultural identity is prominent across the globe. Paris, known affectionately as the City of Light, tops every list of romantic destinations yet offers something for every type of traveler, from dinner shows at the Moulin Rouge to world-renowned art at the Louvre Museum and Gothic architecture at Notre Dame Cathedral. In Versailles, the colossal palace exudes grandeur; fine wines beg to be quaffed in Bordeaux and Champagne; and war history enshrouds the battlefields of Normandy and the Somme. Gastronomes will find nirvana in France, where freshly baked baguettes, cheese, casseroles, and delicacies such as snails and frogs’ legs are staples on most menus.
