Côte à Côte

France is one of those countries that rewards slow travel, and Côte à Côte is designed to move through it in three very different registers: the urban energy of Paris, the salt-washed medieval ramparts of St. Malo on the Brittany coast, and the sun-drenched promenades of the Côte d'Azur. Over ten days, your group traces a diagonal across the country that most visitors never attempt, connecting the Loire Valley's château country as a bridge between north and south. The result is a tour that gives students a genuinely layered picture of France rather than a postcard version of any single region.
