Timeless stories in the City of Light

suggested

Romance awaits in every Parisian arrondissement: an affair with a Latin Quarter bookshop, an admiring glance in the Musée Rodin, a starlit walk along the Seine’s storied banks. It might be as spirited as the Saint-Ouen flea market, or as solemn as the Panthéon, as fleeting as an éclair au chocolat from the Rue Montorgueil, or as languid as a stroll through the streets of Montmartre, where every lamplit corner is another postcard.

Your A&K Experiences: Enter the colour-soaked worlds of Manet, Cezanne, Renoir and others on a visit to the Musée d’Orsay. See how the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters influenced one another, before visiting the Musée de l’Orangerie across the Seine, home to eight of Monet’s iconic Water Lilies paintings.

A masterpiece of history

suggested

The home of Calvados and Camembert, Normandy is quintessential France, a region of rolling hills and timber-framed villages. The skies are pierced with holy spires: of Rouen, Bayeux and Caen cathedrals, or the vast stone abbeys where Norman kings were laid to rest. And then there is the Alabaster Coast’s ribbon of chalk cliffs and charming harbour towns, gleaming over the English Channel.

Your A&K Experiences: Explore the moving D-Day Landings sites from a different perspective on a guided tour. Commemorate the fallen at the US Military Cemetery, resting place of over 9,300 US soldiers, before visiting the golden sands of Omaha beach, where some of the fiercest fighting took place on 6th June 1944.
