Côte à Côte

France is a country that rewards slow, deliberate travel — and Côte à Côte is built around exactly that idea. Over ten days, your group moves through three distinct regions of the country, from the grandeur of Paris to the walled harbor city of St. Malo on the Brittany coast, then south through Loire Valley château country before reaching the sun-bleached shoreline of the Côte d'Azur. That arc — capital city to medieval Atlantic port to Renaissance river valley to Mediterranean riviera — gives students a working cross-section of French geography, history, and culture that no single-city tour can replicate.
