NORMANDY + THE MONT SAINT-MICHEL + BRITTANY
Normandy is about 3 hours drive from Paris. The Mont St-Michel is 1 hour from the Normand beaches, and Brittany is 1 hour from Normandy, so I suggest two-day or three-day packages allowing you to visit these beautiful regions leisurely, combining the visit of historic sites and an insight into the local markets and produce such as : seafood, pork, cheeses, cider. Accomodation in charming stone houses B&B held by locals, home-made dinner.
****
CHAMPAGNE + SOMME BATTLEFIELDS WW1 Same proposal : Champagne and Somme are not very far from each other and can easily be combined in a two-day trip.
****
SOUTH-WEST OF FRANCE As you probably know, Sabine is originated from the South-West by her parents. It is a region called « Midi-Pyrenees » (main city : Toulouse), not as well known as Provence, but really worth visiting, full of medieval villages, castles, scenic winding roads, local open markets, exquisite restaurants, vineyards. It is ideal for « gourmets » (foie gras, duck confit, etc…). Also prehistoric caves displaying parietal drawings dating from 25,000 years ago. Five-day or more packages are easy to organize. Very reasonable price indeed : Example of total cost per person For five days in the South-West On the basis of 6 passengers and double bedroom occupancy : 1,410 Euros (approx. US$ 1,800) Please contact Sabine for more information.
