4 nuits à Paris, 1 nuit à Tours, 1 nuit à Sarlat, et 7 nuits en famille d’accueil
This itinerary is great for groups who want to see both Paris and areas outside the capital. This itinerary provides several options to integrate cross-circular study with history in Oradour-sur-Glane, Sarlat, Lascaux, and Paris.
Ideas to customize this itinerary:
- There are many sites and cities of interest that you could see instead of any of the ones listed. L&F is happy to make suggestions or adjust an itinerary based on your wishes!
- Extend Family Stay to 9-14 nights for an additional $150.
