Images of Spain and France evoke thoughts of sidewalk cafés bustling with local life and flavorful food... tapas that tease your appetite for Spanish cuisine... French wines that speak volumes about time-honored traditions of vintners rightfully proud of their craft... hearty stews and soups made even more satisfying by the hospitality of hardy Basque hosts... and gourmet dinners elegantly and eloquently served in acclaimed Parisian brasseries favored by a celebrity clientele. Cultural traditions dance into your imagination with the passion of the flamenco, the colors of landscapes immortalized in art, and the whimsy of architecture treasured through the ages. In springtime, country waterways wake up to boaters paddling their traditional Gabares down rivers and canals, pedestrian promenades in cities and towns welcome street mimes, vendors and lively vignettes of daily life... and beaches warm up with seasonal charms that banish winter’s chills forever. Join us as we step inside your dreams of another time and place, come along with us to experience the bounty of the land and sea, and discover a legacy of French and Spanish life that can best be described as evocative, engaging, inspirational and unforgettable.
THE ART OF LIVING: BARCELONA
TO PARIS Food, art and wine take center stage on this “sense-ational” journey from Barcelona to Paris. Pairing culinary adventures and wine tasting tours with art history and architectural splendors centuries old, this is a true celebration of the art of living in some of the most culturally rich destinations in Spain and France.
Your travel feast begins in colorful Barcelona with a taste of tapas and tour of whimsical architecture and medieval masterpieces. Artists, Dali, Picasso, Matisse and Chagall among them, found their inspiration along the Costa Brava in Spain – you’ll follow in their footsteps before arriving at gourmet nirvana during a degustation dinner at a private country vineyard. The snow-capped Pyrenees lead the way to French Basque country for a chance to indulge in daily life and treat your palate to the hearty flavors of Basque cuisine. Vineyards parade past you from Bordeaux to St. Emilion, the Dordogne and Perigord; sip and savor the finest vintages from these regions during lunches and dinners beyond compare... and in Paris, a moveable feast entices you all over again!
