Just an FYI. Just finished the Normandy, Brittany, Paris, & Loire Valley tour which ends in Paris. They were setting up barricades. stages, etc for the Pope's visit this Friday, 9/25. Not sure the length of his visit, but I'm sure the barricades, etc won't be removed instantly so if you're headed to Paris soon be aware.
We recently returned from this trip and thought that I’d provide some details as it seems like there may have been a few changes to the itinerary over the last few years. My husband and I (early 50s) traveled with our two daughters (early 20s) in mid May on the small group tour. Day 1 – the concierge at Trianon Palace…
We are planning on a trip to Europe later this Spring. I had read in the fall that we would be required to have an ETIAS attached to our passport, if we were entering the Schengen region in May or later. When I try to find out how to apply, it says that the website is not yet available. All I can find is that it would be…
We will be on the Normandy,Brittany, Paris and Loire Valley tour in September 2026. We are thinking about booking a Viator full day bike tour of Versailles that includes the palace and gardens. Has anyone done this?
Day 1. I was lucky that my time in Versailles was over the weekend, so I was able to enjoy the fountains being on and music being played. This day was beautiful, so I walked and enjoyed the Grand Canal. I ended the day with a visit to The Coach Gallery which houses many of the carriages the royal family used over the years…
We have 3 options for our first day in Paris, prior to the river cruise. Can you give any thoughts on the 3 different choices? 1-Guided Tour of city:Hotel des Invalides, Musee de I'Armee and Bonaparte's tomb,2- tour of Marais district OR 3- Walking tour exploring Ile de la Cite. We are 2 couples who have never been to…
We are scheduled to go on this tour May 28 and were wondering what to bring in the way of cloths. Some of the hotels look very high class ?
I see we have dinner free several nights. I wondered if travelers made dinner reservations in smaller town or if everything worked without plans. We’ve made weekend reservations in Paris. Thank!
I'm not interested in seeing the beaches of Normandy. Has anyone done anything else during this stop? Explored on their own? if so, what did you do and how did you do it (ex: private tour, taxi to town, bike ride to town, etc.). I'll be there in April. On a river cruise, so there will be no hotel switching for us. I've…
In some prior threads a few of you spoke about getting complementary tickets to Versailles from the concierge. I looked at the hotel's website and did not find an email address for the concierge. The only one was for reservations. Is this where you began your conversation asking for the tickets? If not, is there another…
