Paris, Switzerland & Italy: The Perfect Holiday!

September 16-26, 2013

Paris - beauty, excitement, and French joie de vivre await! The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens, Place de la Concorde, the famous bridges over the Seine hold you spellbound during the city sightseeing tour. Wander through Malmaison, country chateau of Josephine & Napoleon, and Claude Monet's home and gardens in Giverny. Enjoy leisure time for your own exploring when you spend three luxurious nights in Paris.

Legend has it that an angel with a light showed the first settlers where to build a chapel and visitors to Lucerne say it's heaven-sent with its scenic lake, its wooden Kapellbrucke (chapel bridge) and surrounded by mythical mountains. Enjoy the Altstadt (old town) andĘ the touching Loewenplatz (Lion Monument) and Mount Pilatus. Visit the quaint and most traditional Swiss canton Appenzell and Black Madonna in Einsiedeln. Marvel at the Alpine views as we cross the mountain passes through picture-perfect villages to St. Moritz. Spend three nights in Weggis on Lake Lucerne.

Ringed by snow-capped mountains, the beautiful Italian Lakes are home to villas and gardens and have attracted writers, poets and celebrities from across the globe. Spend three nights in charming Cernobbio on Lake Como. Visit the resort town of Stresa on Lago Maggiore, once ruled by the Borremeo dynasty. Explore the little hilltown of Bergamo, built by the Venetians in the 17th century.
