Aix-en-Provence, France.
AIX-EN-PROVENCE
Stroll the ancient capital of Provence and discover a living history
book. Known as the town of art and water, Aix-en-Provence gave
birth to famous French artists Cezanne and Zola, and its historical
and cultural significance drips from the eaves of every building.
Founded by the Romans in 122 BC, the town was a stepping
stone between Italy and Spain and developed as an urban
centre and spa. Today, you can explore 17th and 18th century
mansions, cathedrals and thermal baths. Uncover tales from the
old town, stroll through Villeneuve (new town), the 17th century
Mazarin Quarter, and the Cours Mirabeau, one of the city’s most
lively areas.

AVIGNON
Graceful Avignon, also known as the City of the Popes, is
surrounded by 4.3 km of perfectly preserved stone ramparts
and has a treasury of magnificent art and architecture, none
grander than the massive medieval fortress and papal palace, the
Palais des Papes. Famous for its annual performing arts festival,
Avignon has a lively youth culture and the city is teeming with an
impressive array of places to eat and drink. But perhaps it’s best
known for its arched bridge, the Pont d’Avignon.

LOURDES
Lourdes was a sleepy market town in the foothills of the
Pyrenees until 1858, when a 14-year-old peasant girl saw the
Virgin Mary in a series of 18 visions, which are today known as
the Marian Apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes. Today, Lourdes is
one of the world’s most important pilgrimage sites (more than
5 million people visit annually) and its spring water is believed
by some to have healing powers. Lourdes is a great base for
Pyrenees exploration.

Regional France
An iconic collection of rolling hills, centuries-old
grapevines, snow-dusted peaks, historic chateaus and
picturesque towns, the stunning French countryside
overflows with charm and is a truly enticing and
unique escape.
STRASBOURG
France’s great north-eastern city is the cultural and intellectual
capital of Alsace and, given its proximity to northern Europe is
an important crossroad – the European Parliament, the Council
of Europe, and the European Court of Human Rights (to name a
few) all sit here. Strasbourg has a rich architectural history and its
entire city centre holds World Heritage listing. Towering above the
restaurants, winstubs (traditional eateries) and pubs of the lively
old city – a wonderful area to explore on foot – is the cathedral,
a medieval marvel in pink sandstone. Nearby you’ll find one of the
finest ensembles of museums anywhere in France.
