Gastronomy Vacation Packages
 France is the country par excellence for fine wining and dining, a paradise on earth for the food connoisseur. This veritable cult of good food (and good wine) is elevated to a national art form. France Vacations enables you to discover the delights and learn some of the secrets of a centuries old culinary tradition. In La Cadiere d'Azur (Provence), an ancient hilltop village, you will even be able to cook in a superb old house, with an own country garden providing all the herbs and vegetables used in the fabulous dishes. Here Master Cook Rene Berard will take you to local markets and vineyards (with wine tasting). In the Champagne Region, celebrated for its treasured libation, a creation of the monk Dom Perignon during the 17th century, besides visiting vineyards and Champagne tastings, you may drive to Reims to admire the beautiful Louis XV Palace, the Roman Porte de Mars, and the Cathedral and visit museums dedicated to the art of making this effervescent wine. Another unique experience will be Chateau de Rochecotte (Loire Valley) where you will reside. The chateau, set in a tranquil 19-acre once the private estate of Prince Talleyrand, is ideally located for visiting neighboring chateaux, abbeys, museums as well as the area's world-famous vineyards. The chateau's restaurant enjoys a reputation for haute cuisine. |
