Highlights
The quintessential voyage for gourmets, oenophiles and lovers of all things French.
This picture-perfect journey blends your passion for the good life—art, culture and gastronomy—with a broad sweep of lovely French landscapes. Travel from beautiful Bordeaux and delight in the countryside of southwest France. Explore Saint-Émilion, with its astonishing Monolithic Church, and ancient Blaye, with its famous citadel. Journey through a land of noble wines, tasting the flavors of the regions as you go.
Sail the Seine to marvel at magnificent Rouen Cathedral, tour the former smugglers’ harbor in Honfleur and follow in the footsteps of Monet at his beloved Giverny. And, of course, your majestic France experience ends with an exploration of the romance and magnificence of Paris.
Enjoy the best France has to offer with Uniworld’s plethora of private excursions (including a private wine tasting of famous Medoc wines) as you visit charming locales and sample myriad culinary delights.
A Portrait of Majestic France is a combination of Brilliant Bordeaux and Paris & Normandy.
