The Europe Tours · The Complete France Journey
From Paris to the Atlantic, the Length of France

The French Riviera follows: Nice as your base for Monaco, Monte Carlo and the Fragonard Perfume Factory, plus orientation tours of Cannes and Saint-Tropez. Continue through Marseille and Avignon in Provence, then west to Lourdes, Bordeaux and the Atlantic port town of La Rochelle, before a final stop at the Château de Fontainebleau on the way back to Paris.
