Three Cities in Autumn

Three Cities in Autumn

Visit three of the most wonderful cities in the world, as the leaves are changing, the days are cooler and the crowds have gone.  Starting in London and going onto Paris and Venice, we’ll spend 4 nights in each city. By day we’ll see the famous sites you’ve dreamt of, as well as those little out of the way places you might have missed on your own.  You’ll stay in carefully selected 3 and 4 * hotels, in the centre of the city.  Breakfast and guided half day programmes with expert local guides, as well as ‘welcome’ and ‘farewell’ dinners are included. Most afternoons and evenings are free for indulging your special interests and relaxing.

Come and discover the different faces of France, on this 17 / 21 night sojourn.

They will add to your experience of the country. Expect to find yourself in a charming, beautifully decorated room –  whether it be in a very simple style evoking the past use of a building, such as the former abbey in Avignon, or the romantic rooms of the B&B in Moustiers Saint Marie and Amboise. And breakfasts?  They’ll be in true French style with a nod to the cereal eaters amongst us.
