Join Steve Smith, co-author of Rick Steves’ France guidebook, as he shares tips and insights for traveling in France. It should be no surprise that France is the world’s most-visited country. We’ll lead you through the battlefields and rugged coastline of Normandy and Brittany, and the vineyards and chateaux of the Loire Valley and Burgundy. Then we head south to Provence and the glamorous Riviera before topping it all off in romantic, historic Paris.

Cruising down the Danube River is European travel at its’ best, a relaxing way to see Europe while enjoying delicious international cuisine. As the ship makes its way through Germany you can visit Durnstein, where Richard the Lionhearted was imprisoned. In Budapest visit the “city beneath the city,” and in Vienna wonder at the architecture of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, all without packing and unpacking. What a wonderful way to travel.

From Paris to Burgundy, Christmas is the stuff of dreams, where rich sounds of medieval carols abound, simple rituals are shared by families and friends, and where, when days are short and nights are long, it’s customary to leave a light in the window.
