Tour of the Famous Saint-Émilion, France
Tour of the famous St-Emilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site and centre of the best-known Bordeaux appellations. Then on to Château Beau-Sejour-Becot, producer of premier and grand crus wines, for a tour and tasting.
Bordeaux, with 247,000 acres, is a wine-producing area three times the size of Burgundy. Bordeaux is the largest fine wine-making region in the world, as well as the most legendary. More than half the fine wines of the world come from France and about half of these are from Bordeaux.
Although the reputation is built mostly on red wines, especially those from the Médoc, St-Èmilion and Pomerol districts, the region produces the entire gamut of wines, including dry and sweet whites, and rosés.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especially on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.
Places to see in ( Aix les Bains - France )
Places to see in ( Aix les Bains - France )
Aix-les-Bains is a thermal spa town on Lake Bourget in the Savoie, eastern France. Swimming, sailing and golf are popular sports. Landmarks include the Roman ruin, Temple of Diana, in the town hall and the belle epoque Château de la Roche du Roi. The Abbaye d'Hautecombe, on the opposite shore of the lake, is a 12th-century royal burial site. Nearby Mont Revard has mountain bike, Alpine and cross-country ski trails.
On the eastern shore of France’s largest freshwater lake, Aix-les-Bans is a chic Savoy resort that radiates old-world glamour. In the 19th century the lake, mountains and curative waters contributed to one of Europe’s most fashionable destinations.
Kings, queens, dukes, maharajas and counts all descended on the resort, and opulent art nouveau palace hotels were built for them. Aix-les-Bains still resonates with this mystique, and is a luxurious home from home for people embarking on mountain hikes, cross-country skiing or watersports on the lake’s glassy waters.
Aix-les-Bains is on the east shore of the largest natural lake in France. Unlike many French lakes there’s no complete perimeter trail, and that’s because the mountains on the west shore plunge almost vertically to the water, which adds to the drama of the place.
But you can ramble to some remote spots to find hides where you can watch the lake’s waterfowl and raptors. In summer you could have a dip these glacial waters at one of Aix-les-Bains’ three sandy beaches, while the marina can be your hub for water-skiing, diving and sailing.
Alot to see in ( Aix les Bains - France ) such as :
Lac du Bourget
Musée Faure
Casino Grand Cercle
Esplanade du Lac

Nice, France - Place Massena HD (2015)
The Place Masséna is the main square of the city. Before the Paillon River was covered over, the Pont-Neuf was the only practicable way between the old town and the modern one. The square was thus divided into two parts (North and South) in 1824. With the demolition of the Masséna Casino in 1979, the Place Masséna became more spacious and less dense and is now bordered by red ochre buildings of Italian architecture.
The recent rebuilding of the tramline gave the square back to the pedestrians, restoring its status as a real Mediterranean square. It is lined with palm trees and stone pines, instead of being the rectangular roundabout of sorts it had become over the years. Since its construction, the Place Masséna has always been the spot for great public events. It is used for concerts, and particularly during the summer festivals, the Corso carnavalesque (carnival parade) in February, the military procession of 14 July (Bastille Day) or other traditional celebrations and banquets.
The Place Masséna is a two-minute walk from the Promenade des Anglais, old town, town centre, and Albert I Garden (Jardin Albert Ier). It is also a large crossroads between several of the main streets of the city: avenue Jean Médecin, avenue Félix Faure, boulevard Jean Jaurès, avenue de Verdun and rue Gioffredo.
Art History Tour in Provence with Artful Journeys
Who wouldn't want to spend cool and crisp autumn afternoons walking in the footsteps of some of France's most celebrated painters?
From November 5 to 14, 2018, Artful Journeys presented Art History in Provence, a guided travel tour focusing on the many illustrious artists who once made their home in the South of France, such as Cezanne, Renoir, Chagall, Picasso, and Van Gogh.
While exploring the creative journeys of these creative giants, travelers also experienced the culinary wealth of the Provence/ Côte d'Azur region with rich local cuisine and bright fruity wines. So because of our small group size, we were able to enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes without the limits of a larger group.
In addition to the three overnight cities of Nice, Aix-en-Provence, and Arles, the group visited sites in Antibes, Les Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, and Avignon.
The museums and sites visited included Fine Arts Museum of Nice, Chagall Museum, Picasso Museum, Renoir Museum, Cézanne Studio, Saint-Paul Asylum, Mary Magdalene Basilica, Carrières de Lumières, among others.
With plenty of free time, our travelers were able to explore the various cities for themselves, enjoying the local culture, shopping and had time to relax.
The tour, led by Director Joan Hill, tour guide Sevan Melikyan, and Assistant Director Carla Bohnett...who also took most of the pictures seen in this video.
Joan Hill is the Owner of Artful Journeys, a tour company based in Cape Cod, MA.
Sevan Melikyan is an independent lecturer on art history, owner of Wired Gallery in High Falls, NY, and an artist.
Carla Bohnett is a professional photographer based in California.

City of Paris
Paris is the capital and most populous city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Within its administrative limits (the 20 arrondissements), Paris has a population of about 2,230,000, and its metropolitan area is one of the largest population centres in Europe, with more than 12 million inhabitants, who are referred to as Parisians An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris had become, by the 12th century, one of Europe's foremost centres of learning and the arts and was the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
Paris and the Paris region account for more than 30% of the gross domestic product of France and have one of the largest city GDPs in the world, with €607 billion (US$845 billion) in 2011.Considered as green and highly liveable, the city and its region are the world's leading tourism destination, hosting four UNESCO World Heritage Sites and many international organizations, including UNESCO and the European Space Agency.
Place de la Bastille (4th, 11th and 12th arrondissements, right bank) is a district of great historical significance, for not just Paris, but also all of France. Because of its symbolic value, the square has often been a site of political demonstrations, and it has a tall column commemorating the final resting place of the revolutionaries killed in 1830 and 1848.
Place de la Concorde (8th arrondissement, right bank) is at the foot of the Champs-Élysées, built as the Place Louis XV, site of the infamous guillotine. The Egyptian obelisk is Paris' oldest monument. On this place, on either side of the Rue Royale, there are two identical stone buildings: The eastern one houses the French Naval Ministry, the western the luxurious Hôtel de Crillon. Nearby Place Vendôme is famous for its fashionable and deluxe hotels (Hôtel Ritz and Hôtel de Vendôme) and its jewellers; it is famous both as the place of Princess Diana's last meal, and as the setting of the gangster classic Le Cercle Rouge.
Champs-Élysées (8th arrondissement, right bank) is a 17th-century garden-promenade-turned-avenue connecting Place de la Concorde and Arc de Triomphe. It is one of the many tourist attractions and a major shopping street of Paris, hosting labels such as Sephora, Lancel, Louis Vuitton and Guerlain, as well as other brands like Renault, Toyota and numerous small souvenir outlets; restored with the equivalent of €75 million under the governance of Jaques Chirac it has become perhaps the most well-known street in France.
Les Halles (1st arrondissement, right bank) were formerly Paris' central meat and produce market, and, since the late 1970s, are a major shopping centre around an important metro connection station (Châtelet -- Les Halles, the biggest in the world). The old Halles were destroyed in 1971 and replaced by the Forum des Halles. The central market of Paris, the biggest wholesale food market in the world, was transferred to Rungis, in the southern suburbs.
Avenue Montaigne (8th arrondissement), next to the Champs-Élysées, is home to luxury brand labels such as Chanel, Prada, Dior and Givenchy.
Montmartre (18th arrondissement, right bank) is an historic area on the Butte, home to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Montmartre has always had a history with artists and has many studios and cafés of many great artists in that area.
Quartier Latin (5th and 6th arrondissements, left bank) is a 12th-century scholastic centre formerly stretching between the Left Bank's Place Maubert and the Sorbonne campus. It is known for its lively atmosphere and many bistros. Various higher-education establishments, such as Sciences Po Paris, the École Normale Supérieure, Mines ParisTech, and the Jussieu university campus, make it a major educational centre in Paris.
Faubourg Saint-Honoré (8th arrondissement, right bank) is one of Paris' high-fashion districts, home to labels such as Hermès and Christian Lacroix.
