France Deep with Loire and Normandy tour package — 6N/7D itinerary, price and inclusions
A deeper France itinerary that pairs four Paris nights with the Loire Valley's chateaux country and a Normandy day covering the D-Day beaches and Mont-Saint-Michel. Over seven days you see far more of the country than a city break allows, travelling by AC coach with a guide. It is a niche product, taken up by only a small share of France-bound Indian travellers, but a rewarding choice for repeat visitors and history buffs. Paris delivers the Eiffel Tower, Seine cruise and city tour; the Loire adds Renaissance castles; and Normandy brings the moving D-Day sites and the island abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel. Return flights, daily breakfast and four dinners are included. Expect some longer drives between regions. Specific chateaux and entries can vary, so confirm the day-by-day inclusions. starting at INR 1,90,000 per person. Covers Paris 4N, Loire 1N, Normandy/Mont St Michel 1N.
