With Marianne & Joe Binetti:


Join us in France!

 

"PARIS, PROVENCE, AND THE FRENCH RIVIERA ADVENTURE TOUR"


September 10 - Sept. 20, 2010
(September is sunny and mild and less crowded in France)

please contact us if you might be interested in our newest adventure

3 Nights in Paris - We’ve chosen a major splurge on a luxurious 4 star hotel for 3 reasons: location, location, location. Walk to the Louvre, Eiffel tower, Notre Dame and other top sites during your free afternoons plus a local guide and visits to Monet’s garden, Versailles, Paris Flea Market, Paris dining and reservations to go up into the Eiffel Tower - all included in the price.

3 Nights Avignon - we’ll stay in the heart of the Medieval old town as we explore country hill towns, a Chateau estate garden, wine cellars (with tastings) and terraced castle garden. Local guide, private coach, and time for bargain shopping in a riverside village called the "Antique capitol of France" - we’ll be there for their market day.

4 Nights in Menton - near Nice on the French Riviera, this charming seaside village will be our base for exploring the gardens of local artists and in Monte Carlo (we want to place just one group bet at the famous casino) then an afternoon in Nice and a special morning learning how to make and bottle our own signature perfume in the hilltop village of Grasse. We’ll also tour an exotic garden in Eze and have time to wander these French villages on your own - with tips on gardening, plants and history thrown in.

Great Food! A tour of France must include great dining and so we’ve included a mix of dinners as well as some afternoon meals in the French countryside. Some evenings you’ll be free to explore café dining on your own or join Joe and I as we check out authentic cafés recommended by the locals. (Two meals most days are included are in the price)

Price also includes Trip Insurance, Trip Interruption Insurance and Porterage. Total: $4519.00 per person based on two sharing a room. Price does not include airfare yet - that price will be determined. (or you are free to use your own mileage points and join the group at the airport)

More fun stuff: This adventure includes a French-Themed Garden Party at the Binetti’s home in August, and a post-trip reunion with slide show and a photo-CD for everyone that records our French Adventure. (Joe takes hundreds of trip photos.)
