Le Beau Voyage

Le Beau Voyage traces a clean arc from the English capital to the French Atlantic coast and finally into Paris, giving students nine days to read two cultures side by side rather than rushing through one. The tour opens in London, where your group has time to move through the city properly before crossing to Normandy on Day 4 — a ferry crossing that doubles as dinner on the water and a quiet, cinematic transition between countries. From Caen, the itinerary works its way south and west to St. Malo, the walled port city that has changed hands between France and the sea more times than history can comfortably count, then swings east through the Loire Valley before arriving in Paris for a full day of exploration.
