Days Details
1-3 Paris, sightseeing and attractions Check in to the hotel and enjoy the city. The City of Lights is unlike any other place on earth. Known for its glorious monuments, museums and markets, from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre, Montmartre to the Marais, Paris has something for everyone. Discover for yourself Paris - “je ne sais quoi.” Climb to the top of Arc de Triomphe for some of the best views of the city, or take the elevator up the Eiffel Tower. Visit the great cathedral of Notre-Dame, which sits along the banks of the Seine. Eat well at a five-star restaurant or a humble bistro, and take time to window shop along the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore. Visit the most famous jewel of France, Versailles Castle, well known as the Sun King's Estate. The palace of Versailles is one of the most visited French monuments because of its architecture, its gardens and also because of its history. Located in the prosperous, leafy and bourgeoissuburb of Versailles, just outside Paris, the baroque chateau was the kingdom’s political capital and the seat of the royal court from 1682 until 1789.
3-6 Nice and Montecarlo On to the south-east of France to the glistening Mediterranean coast and the Cote d'Azure's cosmopolitan capital of Nice. Soak up the sun-seeking atmosphere under the palm trees of the seafront promenade, tick off some must-see museums, explore the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum, wander the narrow winding streets of the romantic old town, and while away the evening in some of France's best bars and trendy restaurants.   Take a day trip to the famous and tiny principality of Monaco, the world’s second smallest country, contained within a mere 1.95 sq/km. Soak up the atmosphere of royalty and chic glamour as you stroll its manicured streets and are whisked up its network of lifts and escalators, passing palaces, lush gardens and of course the famous Monte Carlo casino, en route.
7-9 Cinque Terre Head along the coast by train and across the border intoItaly and the region ofLiguria. Spend two nights by the stunning Cinque TerreNational Park, where five little villages are built into the rocks between the beach and the hills. Hike, swim and indulge in the local delicacies such as Focaccia and fresh seafood, and watch amazing Mediterranean sunsets. Follow centuries-old footpaths and mule tracks that lead through olive groves, vineyards and orchards.   Walk the Cinque Terre coastal path from Riomaggiore to Monterosso (approximately 5-6 hours of hiking, stopping in the villages along the way), that gives you the best taste of the villages and countryside, terraced hills andvineyards sloping down to the sea.
10-11 Tuscany and Florence Today we head east by train, away from the coast, first to Pisa, where we stop for a visit to the Field of Miracles to see the famous leaning tower and then on to the heart of Tuscany - Florence.  Florence (Firenze in Italian), was founded in the 1st Century B.C., and personifies all that is beautiful in Italian civilization. It is the capital of the region of Tuscany, with a population of approximately half a million people. The fathers of Italian painting, Cimabue and Giotto lived here, along with innumerable other prominent artists. It is the birthplace of the Italian language (thanks to Dante Alighieri) and of Europe’s richest cultural period, In the summer, life in Florence can be found in the streets and squares. Outdoor cinemas, music, dance and theatre enliven most squares everyevening. Get to know Florence on your own: visit the marvellous multi-coloured Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, the medieval Ponte Vecchio or the Medici Chapels. Take a break at Piazza della Signoria with a gelato or a coffee beforehitting the vivacious Piazza San Lorenzo to bargain for discounted woollen and leather goods. The options are truly endless.  We take an evening walk (weather permitting) up to Piazzale Michelangelo for that most famous and photographed vista of sunset over the city.
11-14 Rome, sightseeing and attractions Board a train south to the bustling Italian capital, Rome. This city exudes history, from its Catacombs that entombed early Christians,to the Colosseum where gladiators battled to the death, and on up to Palatine Hill - the traditional site of Rome’s founding. Located near the centre of the Italian peninsula on the Tiber River, it is both the capital of the Latium region and the country as a whole. Nicknamed the Eternal City, it is also home to the pope,whose residence, Vatican City, is a sovereign state within the city of Rome.  The city is enthralling, with perhaps more to see than any other place in the world. Eating in Italy is deeply embedded in the country’s culture, and dining in Rome consists of many courses, and can sometimes seem to last forever! In addition to the many and legendary cultural attractions, the city offers a vibrant nightlife - a fitting final destination on our journey through the best of France and Italy. Enjoy a true taste of Italy with a traditional Roman meal.
