    The excursions each day were impressive and filled with rich knowledge and history about France’s culture. My girlfriend and I made so many great memories and we were able immerse ourselves in French culture. We would definitely go back again and book through Collete.

    Our trip to France was overwhelming! Every day was an amazing experience. My only suggestion would be to offer another plat choice besides the lamb at our meet and greet dinner. Perhaps a chicken dinner choice instead of the other 2 choices. We loved all the breakfast buffet choices, however, the scrambled eggs were wet and undercooked. As travelers we all expect to adapt to all types of cultures and differences in food, weather, etc .,so it wasn't a deal breaker. The activity level was 3 which was appropriate because there was alot of walking involved. All in all, I would recommend this tour to France!

    Some days started too early, there was one too many market visits, and the light show could be replaced. But I really enjoyed the parfumary, the Palace of Versailles, the ride on the TGV, the boat ride to see the Calanques, and Nice. The Louvre was a little too crowded to really enjoy. If you could arrange off hour tours, that works be great. It would have been nice to see the Paris Opera House or have dinner at the Moulin Rouge. But I realize you can’t see everything and I really enjoyed the food and the trip as a whole. Thanks!
