First time to Europe?
If you’ve never been to Europe or are itching to get back, why not visit three countries in one trip? Collette’s new, 10-day Treasures of Tuscany & Provence tour with departures starting in May 2012 features Italy, France, and Monaco. Yes, these incredibly popular and beautiful regions are known for their great food and wines but there’s also so much more…
- Get bragging-rights to say you have been to the Academy Gallery to view the world-famous Statue of David by Michelangelo.
- Marvel at Tuscany’s picturesque Chiantigiana Road with its landscapes of low-lying hills, vineyards, and olive groves.
- Walk through some of the most beautiful and historic cities in Europe, such as Florence, Siena, Avignon, and Arles.
- Gather souvenirs at one of the many local markets in Provence that sell anything from cheese, to sausage, to seafood to local hand-made crafts.
- Follow the fascinating Cézanne Trail in Aix-en-Provence, visiting areas immortalized by the famous artist.
- Step back in time to the age of the Romans while visiting the Pont du Gard Aqueduct.
- See Monaco in a whole new way with a panoramic tour which highlights its famous Casino, 13th century Prince’s Palace, and the Cathedral of Monaco.
- Learn the secrets of perfume making, from extraction to distillation, with a visit to the medieval town of Eze.
- Discover the Gothic streets, impressive palaces, and Roman architecture of these regions.
- See places made famous in Van Gogh’s paintings in Arles.
The history, landscapes, architecture, art, and local markets are all added bonuses to the great food and wines these regions offer.
