Bordeaux has long been known as La Belle au Bois Dormant, Sleeping Beauty.  And while the beauty part is undeniable, the sleeping part could be argued. Sure, the region is filled with treasures from long ago, including more than 350 historic monuments and buildings in the city alone. But the capital of Aquitaine is also home to a vibrant culture and, as oenophiles well know, is the gateway to some of France's most famous vineyards. In this UNESCO World Heritage city, 13th century cathedrals and 18th century palaces are commonplace. Venture beyond the city's borders to the chateaux of the Médoc region or to Saint-Émilion, a breathtaking medieval village set among the vineyards that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rouen, A Day in Versailles

Departure from Rouen for the 105-minute drive to Versailles via motorway. The Château de Versailles, which has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List for 30 years, is one of the most beautiful achievements of 18th century French art. The site began as Louis XIII's hunting lodge before his son Louis XIV transformed and expanded it, moving the court and government of France to Versailles in 1682. Each of the three French kings who lived there until the French Revolution added improvements to make it more beautiful. Versailles is known as the largest and most sumptuous palace ever built. The chateau was embellished with new apartments during the 18th century, under the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. The Royal family and the court were forced to leave Versailles on October 6th, 1789, after the first days of the French Revolution. You will discover the castle with your guide. Exclusively with the guide, you will "touch History" as your guide tells you the story of one of the beautifully binded, gold-plated books of King Louis XV Versailles' library, while presenting this 297-year-old book to you.

Honfleur, Concierge Collection: Gourmet Tasting & French Opulence in Deauville

Take the motor coach for the 40-minute drive to Deauville to experience the "Côte Fleurie" of the Belle Epoque. During this period, with the deployment of railroads and the growing fashion for sea bathing, Normandy and the Pays d'Auge's coasts became an escape from big cities for the wealthy and a new playground for architects. In that period, small villages were converted into prestigious cities to welcome the aristocrats and bourgeois in search of entertainments and vacation resorts. As you enjoy an orientation tour around the city, its luxurious hotels, casino, impressive villas, hippodrome and more, it will help you picture and understand how Deauville developed itself to become one of the most prestigious seaside resorts. You will then make a stop right next to the renowned hippodrome, for a guided visit of the "Villa Strassburger," one of the symbols of the Belle Epoque era of Deauville. Built in 1907 for a Baron on the lands of Gustave Flaubert's family and later bought by a rich American press editor, this unique architectural heritage will give you a sense of the majestic villas you can find in the area. Back then the main goal was to have not only the most impressive house, but also the most eccentric and beautiful. Hence the architectural diversity and eclecticism you will find in many of the seaside resorts of the "Côte Fleurie," between Honfleur and Cabourg. As you step into the Strassburger estate, you will immediately be transported into a Norman postcard with the gardens filled with apple trees and the Neo-Norman architecture of the Villa. Inside, you will discover original furniture and decors exactly as it was left by the Strassburger family in 1980. To add to your Norman experience, you will then meet Marie, an expert in local delicacies and products of the French soil. She will welcome you to her half-timbered shop, wine cellar and delicatessen for a little "Pause Gourmande à la française" (Frenchie gourmet break). After enjoying some free time, you will get back to your coach for the drive back to Honfleur. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring local currency.

Once notorious as the home of pirates, St.-Malo today is better known for the UNESCO site monastery and town of Mont St. Michel and the famous oysters of nearby Cancale. Walk the city's ramparts, or pass the time at a seaside boulangerie sampling a fresh and buttery croissant. 

St Malo: Mont St. Michel

Mont St. Michel is considered one of the great religious sites in all of Europe and is often compared to St. Peter's, Chartres, and Durham. First built following the appearance of Archangel Michael to the Bishop of Avranches, the abbey is constructed at the summit of an immense granite precipice 250 feet above the sea - a monument to the heyday of Norman power and influence in the world. Mont St. Michel makes its strongest impression when seen from a distance, on the approach from a 5-mile long causeway at Pontorson where Mont St. Michel joins the mainland. Once at the abbey, your guided tour on foot will involve numerous stairs and steep paths - yet you are rewarded with magnificent views at every juncture. After your guided tour, enjoy free time to eat lunch, stroll the labyrinth of streets, browse the shops, and take in this magnificent architectural achievement. Following your exploration, return to the yacht along the coastal road, passing small towns and traditional fishing harbors along the way. Please note: Inside the abbey, proper attire is required (no shorts or bare shoulders) and flash photography is not permitted. Due to its great popularity large crowds of visitors must be expected at the site. This tour requires heavy walking; up and downhill and on cobblestones. To reach the very top takes climbing between 197-350 steps. Due to new regulations motor coaches are no longer allowed to enter Mont St. Michel. There is a 20-30 minute from the parking lot to the shuttle bus that will take you to Mont St. Michel.

Sure, the region is filled with treasures from long ago, including more than 350 historic monuments and buildings in the city alone. But the capital of Aquitaine is also home to a vibrant culture and, as oenophiles well know, is the gateway to some of France's most famous vineyards. In this UNESCO World Heritage city, 13th century cathedrals and 18th century palaces are commonplace. Venture beyond the city's borders to the chateaux of the Médoc region or to Saint-Émilion, a breathtaking medieval village set among the vineyards that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
