Program Description

Event Details

Join Jeanne Schnupp, the Savvy Sightseer, and take in Paris’s unique sculptures and famous landmarks, including Notre Dame – see the stunning interiors of the iconic cathedral before the devastating 2019 fire struck – as well as the Eiffel Tower. See where some of this year’s Summer Olympics will be staged and wander the same sites the world’s best athletes will be taking in during their stay in Paris.

Visit Marie-Antoinette’s rural haven at Versailles, as well as the Loire Valley to marvel at the area’s stunning châteaux and Leonardo Da Vinci’s last home at Amboise. Be humbled by the beaches of Normandy and the Visitors’ Center that uses the words and images of people who served to tell their story, and just how impossible a task they faced on June 6, 1944 – D-Day. Be awestruck by the island church Mont Saint-Michel, and inspired by the site of Joan of Arc’s last stand in Rouen.

All welcome!
