    World Travel. Family Discovery.

    Feel inspired... as you and your family stand on the top deck of your riverboat with Provençal landscapes before you… in Paris, where the streets are paved in history… along the cobblestone streets of medieval Viviers… together.

    The best way to experience French joie de vivre is to do what the locals do... take a fast train to Lyon... board a boat for a River Rhône cruise... discover the art of making chocolat... have lunch at a private ranch in Provence with French cowboys... paint like van Gogh in Arles (using chocolate instead of oils!)...  walk on a triple-decker Roman bridge in Avignon... play pétanque in Viviers...

    Wine country – France's Rhône Valley

    Tauck Exclusive – Experience la Camargue

    An exclusive Provençal experience on a family owned ranch in la Camargue

    Drive past marshy fields of grazing bulls and white horses to a privately owned ranch in la Camargue, where the Rhône meets the sea, and experience a different taste of Provençal life for Tauck guests only. It begins with a horseback welcome by the warm-hearted family who lives here, continues with a farm-fresh feast of locally produced fare and a heartfelt guitar serenade, and culminates in a display of skill by Provençal cowboys (known as gardians) that will have your heart racing at every turn.

    A "scavenger hunt" in the Louvre

    Hunt for artistic treasures with your family at the Musée du Louvre

    The world's most visited museum, the Musée du Louvre houses 35,000 works of art, dating from prehistoric days to contemporary times. Eight million people flock here each year excited to see masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, a resident since 1797; the Winged Victory, dating to 190 BC; the Greek goddess Venus de Milo; and other priceless paintings and sculptures too numerous to list. And this former royal palace turned treasure-filled musée is the perfect place for a fun scavenger hunt with your family!

    France is incredible, whether it's the charm of Paris or the historic towns along the Rhone. We all learned a lot while enjoying a true trip of a lifetime.
