cruisinskier Posted October 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Hi all. Earlier this year we spent three weeks touring France and I thought I would share some info which may assist with your trip planning. While we have taken numerous cruises in the past, this trip was land based. However we visited numerous French cities & villages which could be visited via a cruise including Nice, Monaco, Villefranche, St-Paul-de-Vence, Les Baux-de-Provence, the Camargue and ultimately a week in Paris. In between we spent time exploring the interior of France, visiting the alps in Chamonix and the chateaus of the Loire Valley & Versailles. We had a fantastic trip and are almost done the trip report with 19 of the 21 days now complete. We hope to finish the rest in the next few days. There are literally hundreds of photos included. You can access our review via our travel journal here: http://bondfamilytravel.com/index.html Select "land vacations" and "France 2013". You can view larger photos by clicking on any image and anything in blue is a link to additional info. Enjoy and we are happy to try to answer any questions. Happy planning!

tassietravellers Posted October 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Wow fantastic photos, thank you, we're heading to France next summer and we're spending 3 days in Nice and then a week in Menton before starting a river cruise from Monte Carlo, well the trip starts there obviously not the river :-) You are giving us so many good ideas :-) Edited October 4, 2013 by tassietravellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
