Transportation / Walking on tour

Round-trip flights arrive in Lyon and depart from Paris. Included transportation on “A Taste of France: Burgundy & Champagne” is by private motorcoach.

Most of the destinations on tour are best explored on foot, but in Paris you may want to take advantage of the excellent transportation system. Paris’ massive Métro is world-class, easy to navigate and efficient. Make sure to take time and look for the best deal on travel passes. Ask your tour director which one might work best. Often the daily passes are not actually the best deal.

Leisurely sightseeing walks in the medieval villages and vineyards of Burgundy and Champagne do involve some cobblestone streets, winding alleys and uphill or uneven terrain. Most of these towns are best accessed on foot, but travelers should be aware of more moderate walking. Sightseeing in Paris is conducted via private motorcoach with a stop to visit Notre Dame.
