Group Travel France is
more than just the
Eiffel Tower!
The Group Travel France page will give you in depth knowledge about traveling to France with a group. You will learn about three options your group has for visiting. While visiting France, Paris and the Eiffel Tower will most likely be on your itinerary, but France has so much more to offer and explore.
Groups have a few different choices when visiting France. The most popular is to take an escorted group tour. The mode of transportation will be private bus and you will stay at hotels changing every night or two. If your group chooses this option you will most likely have an itinerary that looks like this:
Most groups will fly from their closest major airport into Paris. Once you land you will head over to check into your hotel and usually have dinner with your Group Travel Organizer and the rest of your group. The next day will involve sightseeing in Paris. The afternoon is usually on your own to discover what interests you the most, churches, art or food and wine. The next day will take you into the rural area west of Paris. You will most likely visit Rouen for a stroll on the cobblestone street to the square where Joan of Arc was burned. From there you will venture on to Caen and visit the Memorial Museum for Peace. From there you will drive by the Normandy Beaches, visit the Abbey of Mont St. Michel and stay overnight on the coast nearby. Take off in the morning to enjoy a scenic ride across Brittany via Chateaubriant to Angers. You will visit an impressive castle and end your day in the Loire Valley. Take the opportunity to experience French cuisine at a local bistro.
In the morning it is time to visit St. Emilion and enjoy a wine tasting before continuing go Bordeaux. From Bordeaux you will head to the walled town of Carcassonne and end the day in Nimes. From Nimes you will head through the vineyards of Languedoc-Roussillon. You will stop in Avignon at the Palace of the Popes and finish the day in Nice. You will spend a full day in Nice exploring the city and walking through Old Town and the flower market. From Nice you will head to Grasse to visit a perfume factory and then drive through the French Alps to Grenoble. To finish up your group travel France vacation you will go to Dijon to browse local shops and enjoy the quaint city before heading back to Paris. Groups will stay together for most of the France tour. There will be some time for individuals or couples to head out and explore the immediate area by themselves.
Another choice that groups have when they visit France is to travel by train. Traveling by train in France gives you a chance to meet and interact with locals. This is best for small groups traveling together. Traveling by train allows your itinerary to be more flexible and change as you see fit. This option is great for experienced travelers that don’t mind what type of accommodations you may have for the night. Using the internet to book a hostel room the day or 2 before you arrive is the best option for those that are going to use the train to explore Group Travel France.
Another option for your Group Travel France is to take a river cruise. This option is perfect for those that have children because you only have to worry about packing and unpacking them twice while you are on vacation. A river cruise tour of France is also a great option for those that have mobility limitations. You can see the country side from your balcony cabin and only get off the ship in places you feel like doing so. A typical Grand France river cruise would include the following ports:
Paris
Conflans
Vernon
Rouen
Les Andelys
Beaune
Chalon-sur-Saone
Tournus
Macon
Beaujolis Region
Lyon
Tournon
Tain l’Hermitage
Viviers
Avignon
Arles
Cote d’Azur
No matter which type of Group Travel France your group chooses, you are sure to have an enjoyable time and have unforgettable memories.
