Adventures FOR 2010
Someone once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it!" If travel
is on your mind, on your list of desires, and in your heart, you might
look at the possibility of joining a small group of like-minded people
for one of the several trips Lifeprints plans every year or every two
years. Our Italy Women's trip will be May 9-28, and by the time you read this, we'll be enjoying the wonders of Tuscany and Cinque Terre! However, you can still plan for a fall trip to beautiful Provence and Paris! Read on . . .
FRANCE WOMEN 2010
Provence and Paris October 8-25, 2010
Imagine yourself strolling through streets in villages in the Luberon Valley of Provence. Goult, Gordes, Lourmarin. Imagine sipping a lovely wine from the region, crumbs of a fresh croissant on the tip of your tongue.
Imagine the smell of lavender, herbs de Provence, the baked goods waiting in the shop on the corner. Antiques at the market in Isle de sur La Sorgue. Visits to de Sade’s castle, to an abbey nestled in the isolated hills. Cafes and shops abound.
A week at the beautiful villa Fontaine du Faucon awaits you, with heated swimming pool, and garden benches facing the Provencal hills. Day trips to Aix-en-Provence, St. Remy, area wineries, the red hills of Roussillon. The vineyards are in their fall splendor, grape vines the color of the wines they produce . . .
At the end of our time in Provence, we will board the TGV, the “fast train” to Paris, and spend the next week immersed in the beauty, excitement, tranquility (and food!) of one of the most stunning cities in Europe. With museum passes and metro passes, you are free to wander wherever you want, whenever you want, visiting some of the most famous paintings in the world, or finding the tiniest galleries in back streets. Paper stores, button stores, bookstores, artwork sold on the Pont Neuf. Just sitting outside the Louvre transports you to a different world.
We will stay in a small hotel in the Rue Cler district, the 7th Arrondissement. From there, your feet or the metro or a cab will take you anywhere you want to go. The Hotel Muguet is just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower. Sometimes lit in red, sometimes blue, the tower is an especially spectacular vision at night, walking through the park from our hotel!
Our trip will include AIRFARE FROM DENVER, all lodging, train from Paris to Avignon and back, rental cars, gas and tolls, transfers to and from our Paris hotel, 6-day museum pass, metro pass, seven dinners, eight breakfasts, Paris Street-wise map, travel journals, and ME, your planner, guide, and all-around fire-extinguisher!
Cost for above, (including airfare from Denver) is $5600.00 A $500 non-refundable deposit holds your space. Discount of $250 if you find a friend to travel with!
