Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-2	Paris	Get acquainted with the wide boulevards, cultural treasures and chic fashions that make this city so special. Climb the iconic Eiffel Tower for amazing views. A free afternoon offers plenty of time to explore the Musee du Louvre, visit the Notre Dame Cathedral or people-watch while sipping cafe au lait.
Days 3-4	Burgundy	Graced with Romanesque architecture and some of the best wines in the country, Dijon is the capital of France's richest region and there is plenty of time to explore this lovely city. Afterwards, enjoy a meal of regional specialties in Beaune and visit some of Burgundy's world-famous wineries.
Day 5	Avignon	Travel by train to the picturesque town of Avignon, the residence of French Popes for more than a century. Its history will be revealed on a visit to the Palais des Papes, the biggest Gothic palace in the world.
Days 6-8	Arles and The Riviera	Take a walk around Arles, rich in Roman monuments and artistic history, before heading to the heart of the French Riviera, Nice. There is time to relax and explore the beaches, nightlife and glamour of the Cote d'Azur. Once refreshed, take a day trip to Monaco. This glitzy state provides the perfect opportunity to live it up with Europe's highrollers - perhaps at the famed Monte Carlo casino. Or escape the glamour at the quirky Jardin Exotique, home to thousands of cacti.
Days 9-10	Cinque Terre	Take a coastal train to the Cinque Terre, Italy's famous 'five lands'. With mountains above and the sea below, the coastal path that connects the villages of the Cinque Terre is spectacular. Take the opportunity to enjoy a dip in the ocean or dine on fresh seafood by the waterfront.
Days 11-13	Florence and Pisa	Enjoy the fountains, statues and buildings that give Florence its reputation as an outdoor museum. Take in the best of the city including the Ponte Vecchio, the 13th century Duomo and the quintessential Italian sunset over the city's famous skyline of roofs. There is ample free time to admire Michelangelo's David, visit the treasured Medici Chapels or wander through the long galleries of the Uffizi.
Days 14-15	Rome	Enjoy a final train ride into the city of Rome. The Eternal City is both hectic and timeless, and home to some of the most amazing sights in Europe. Visit the iconic Colosseum before a final dinner brings this classical journey to an end.
