Known as the City of Lights, it is home to the Louvre, the most celebrated museum in the world, which houses the Mona Lisa, the most celebrated painting in the world. The Musée d’Orsay, located on the west bank of the River Seine, contains the largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces to be found anywhere. Majestic buildings appear everywhere you walk. The Eiffel Tower rises over 1,000ft and is the enduring symbol of the city. The Arc de Triomphe stands proudly at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, one of the world’s most beautiful avenues. The Notre Dame Cathedral is a fine example of Gothic architecture, while the Palace of Versailles is a testament to the brilliance of French classical architecture. Then, there is the food. For centuries Paris has been a gastronomic paradise, serving dishes meticulously prepared to the highest standards.

Dijon

The historic capital of Burgundy in eastern France, Dijon has shaped the region’s cultural and gastronomic identity for centuries. Its importance grew under the Dukes of Burgundy, who made the city their seat of power in the 14th and 15th centuries. That legacy is embedded in the city’s architecture, streets and traditions. Dijon’s historic centre is best explored on foot. Its protected 97-hectare area forms part of the UNESCO-listed Climats of the Burgundy vineyards, while the largely pedestrianized old town preserves an impressive collection of medieval and early-modern architecture. Cobblestone streets lead past half-timbered houses, elegant mansions, churches and hidden courtyards toward the imposing Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy. Today, the palace houses Dijon’s city hall and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, one of France’s oldest museums. The Owl Trail offers an easy introduction to the old town, guiding visitors past 22 landmarks, including Notre-Dame, Hôtel Vogüé, Saint-Michel and the Palace of the Dukes. Dijon’s heritage is equally evident in its food. Mustard is the city’s most famous culinary symbol, complemented by local specialties such as crème de cassis, gingerbread and chocolate. The Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin further celebrates Burgundy’s food and wine traditions. The city also serves as a natural gateway to the Côte d’Or vineyards. The celebrated wine villages and appellations of Burgundy lie within easy reach, making Dijon an ideal base for exploring the region’s renowned wine country, including the prestigious Côte de Nuits.

You will be transferred from the Beaune train station to your hotel in a private vehicle

2 Nights

Beaune

Located right in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or vineyards, the old medieval town of Beaune lives and breathes for the ‘draught of vintage tasting of Flora and the country green’. Wine may very well be flowing through the veins of its cobblestoned streets and maturing beneath its old tiled roof houses. One is not, in fact, very far from the truth because the old city does sport a subterranean maze of wine cellars that goes back to the medieval era! It is hardly surprising that Beaune is one of the best places in the country for wine tasting tours. This beautiful city’s second claim to fame is the medieval Hôtel-Dieu or Hospices de Beaune, a former charitable hospital. At present, the building functions as a charming museum. The city has managed to blend its two loves into a popular tradition: its annual wine auction is held on the grounds of the former hospital.

Lyon

Lyon is the gastronomic capital of France, standing at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. Tracing its roots back two millennia to its Roman avatar as Lugdunum, this vibrant city has always functioned as the industrial and commercial backbone of the nation down the centuries. Apart from the ancient Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules and the remarkable Renaissance architecture of Old Lyon, the modern city offers trendy fashion outlets, distinctive gourmet flavor and a buzzing nightlife. Catch an avant garde artistic performance, drop by some wonderful museums and sample the city’s sophisticated gastronomic creations. Make the most of your visit by making a pit stop at a quintessential Lyonnais bouchon to relish a plate of duck pâté or roast pork with a salad lyonnaise or sausages on the side, washed down with a bottle of the region’s best sparkling wine.

Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence is located north of Marseille, in the Provence region of France. This historic university town is straight out of a picture postcard with its tree-lined boulevards and public squares surrounded by stately mansions showcasing 17th and 18th century architecture. The most famous of these is the Cours Mirabeau with its many fountains and pavement cafes perfect for people-watching. The birthplace of the famous painter Paul Cezanne, the city is a cultural hub packed with museums, galleries and libraries. Prominent among these are the Musee Granet, with over 12,000 works of art, and Atelier Cezanne, the studio where the master artist worked in the last years of his life. The many street markets here offer a glimpse into local life and the region’s natural bounty. Colorful displays of fresh produce and stalls with culinary specialties dot the farmer’s market at Place Richelme. The fragrance of fresh blooms greets you at Place de l’Hotel de Ville and Place des Precheurs, while Place de Verdun has an enviable collection of antiques.

Marseille

Marseille, the capital of Provence, is France’s second largest city. The Old Port and waterfront, Marseille’s focal point for centuries, are the perfect places for visitors to start exploring and observe street life. Then, there is the city’s iconic landmark, Notre-Dame de la Garde, the Byzantine basilica topped by a golden statue of the Virgin Mary. A must-see, is the UNESCO-listed ‘Cite Radieuse,’ Le Corbusier’s imposing apartment block. Marseille is also home to excellent museums ranging from the Mucem, Cantini and La Vieille Charite, to Marseille History Museum and Cosquer Mediterranean. There are two sandy beaches, Plage des Catalans and Plage du Prophete, as well as ‘calanques’ that feature rugged terrain with gorge-like creeks along the coast. In this vibrant city, visitors can take in alternative arts and culture at Friche la Belle de Mai. It is an area known for its graffiti, art exhibitions, jazz concerts and outdoor film screenings. Marseille’s diverse culinary scene boasts traditional eateries and trendy Michelin-starred restaurants.
