10 or 12 days
France, Italy

Experience the range of French culture, from bustling Paris to the perfumeries and old town squares of the Riviera.

In Italy, the big sights match France’s proud history. The Florence Duomo is a Renaissance treasure; Pisa’s Leaning Tower let Galileo test his theories of gravity; and the Sistine Chapel still stands as a masterpiece of artistic achievement, with Michelangelo’s ceiling capturing the imagination of generations.
