WE WILL TAKE YOU WHERE IT ALL HAPPENED!
As we follow the steps of the Marquis de Lafayette, we will take you through France, from Lyon and Auvergne, to Bordeaux and Rochefort, visiting Chateaus in the Loire Valley, Mont Saint Michel and Normandy before ending in Versailles and Paris where Lafayette is buried. A unique trip especially planned for you and your group, for 1 to 2 weeks. We will uncover places that no one else can introduce you to.
