With a starting point in Paris, your two-day tour includes stopping in charming Medieval towns, tasting Grand Crus, walking in the footsteps of the heroes of World War One, and even discovering one of the prettiest villages in France, shaped like a heart! On your first day, you will taste organic champagnes, and then for a touch of romance, discover the Museum of Love and Marriage. Later in the day, you will taste a champagne served at the Hotel Bristol and the restaurant Arpège, and another which ranks as one of the 20 best champagnes in the world.

We will arrange for you to stay in an elegant countryside hotel, that allows you to wake up in the fragrant vineyards of Champagne.

The following day, you will journey along the Route of Champagne, heading in the direction of Epernay—the capital of the Champagne region. Stopping for coffee and croissants in Chatillon, you will have a spectacular view of the Marne Valley and its vineyards.

In Epernay, you will visit Moët & Chandon, and enjoy your first tasting in a private salon normally used by heads of state. Then, in Hautvillers, you will discover the town of champagne's creator—Dom Pérignon. Following a tasting of a grand cru from a small local producer, you will have lunch at Les Berceaux—where you can dine at either the delicious brasserie or in their gastronomic restaurant.

After lunch, you visit Reims, enjoy a guided tour of its Gothic cathedral, a masterpiece in stone and stained glass, where France's kings were crowned for over 500 years. The program will end with two more stops: Veuve Cliquot or Pommery and Martell, before your return to Paris.

The French Riviera or the Côte d'Azur, extending from Hyères or Bandol in the West to Menton near the Italian border, is one of the oldest resort areas in the world—the playground of the rich and famous. During the first half of the 20th century, it was also a haven to such artists as Colette, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Edith Wharton and Somerset Maugham. Today, it is a mecca for stars and starlets whether they are Paris Hilton, Bruce Willis or Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The best time to visit is in the spring, early summer or in the fall, when the hordes of tourists and paparazzi are absent, and the region's treasures can be fully appreciated. French Links Tours prides itself on showing the best of the French Riviera, whether it's the Matisse Museum and Matisse Chapel in Vence, the villas of the Reinachs and the Rothschilds, or the museums and shrines created by Picasso and Jean Cocteau.

While we do book hotels and tours in Cannes, our favourite city on the French Riviera is Nice, with its beach-front Promenade des Anglais and its elegant hotels, cafés and Michelin-starred restaurants. Nice has undergone a major face-lift, with a new tram-way system, and several new art museum renovations and openings. We can also arrange your travel program in Saint Tropez, but do book early—this is the Riviera's hottest summer destination.

If on the other hand, you wish to have a customized program with tours, transfers, hotel or apartment bookings, and restaurants, please note that we can arrange a detailed itinerary that includes the best of Saint-Tropez, Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, and Menton, as well as the hill towns of Gazin, Eze, Saint Paul de Vence, Vence and Valbonne.

With French Links Tours, you have the choice of renting a fully-staffed private villa, a private yacht, or a stunning hotel-resort with spa and gastronomic restaurant. We can arrange for you to also go by helicopter from Nice Airport to Monte Carlo, as well as to visit the private islands of Porquerolles and the Iles du Levant by boat or small aircraft.
