Full inflight services including dinner, a snack and entertainment provided. Day 2 – Thursday, May 21: Our early morning arrival in Paris will let us enjoy a panoramic tour of the city in our private coach, allowing us to orient ourselves to all the major sights. We’ll settle into our Latin Quarter hotel (www.hotel-saintchristophe.eu/ ) for one evening, and wander about this neighbourhood, one of the oldest in Paris. Let’s officially begin our foodie adventure with a Seine River Champagne Cruise, followed by a bienvenue dinner in a local, typical bistro. Day 3 – Friday, May 22: This morning, after a leisurely breakfast, our private coach will pick us up at the hotel for our transfer to Bruges. On the way to Bruges, we will lunch in Beaumont-Hamel and then visit the impressive Canadian World War I war memorial in Vimy Ridge. We’ll then cross into Belgium and travel through Flanders Fields to Bruges, perhaps the best-preserved medieval town in all of Europe. We’ll settle into our hotel (www.hoteltzand.be/en ) and enjoy a free evening. Lori will be available to suggest some great neighbourhood restaurants for dinner. Day 4 – Saturday, May 23: After breakfast, we’ll spend the morning on tour with our personal Bruges guide who will orient us to the famous Markt with its Belfry, the gothic town hall, the Chapel of the Holy Blood and the Church of Our Lady with its own Michaelangelo statue. We’ll reconvene after lunch at 2:00 for a visit to the chocolate museum and a private, hands-on chocolate truffle/praline workshop.

Day 5 - Sunday, May 24: After breakfast, we’ll have the morning free to wander, perhaps take a canal tour. We’ll meet up again for our private beer tour & tasting at De Halve Maan, a pub renowned for its quality and quantity of beer, at 3:00. Lori will be available to help with dining decisions. Day 6 – Monday, May 25: After a leisurely breakfast, we depart Bruges in our private coach for Fosses-la-Ville, a small country village in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium. Our home for the next two nights will be Le Castel (www.lecastel.be), a local country inn with a fine restaurant. En route, we’ll make a brief stop in Ghent for sightseeing and lunch. We must be at the inn in time for our three-course dinner, prepared by Jean Louis Mathy, chef at the inn. Day 7 – Tuesday, May 26: After breakfast, we’ll take a day trip to Brussels with a focus on the Grand Place, one of the finest squares in Europe. This will be a perfect opportunity to relax, shop, sit in cafés and watch the world go by. No set plan in Brussels but we have to be back to Fosses-la-Ville by 5:00 pm for our private cooking class and four-course dinner at the inn. Day 8 – Wednesday, May 27: This morning, we’ll head off in our private coach for the Champagne region of France. We’ll be passing through the beautiful Ardennes Forest to meet our host champagne producers in Sacy. Our visit will include a private tour of the vineyards, lunch, featuring local produce, in the village and a champagne tasting back at the family domaine. Overnight in Reims (or Paris TBD). Day 9 – Thursday, May 28: After breakfast today, we’ll return to Paris to the Hotel Saint Christophe. After resettling, we should have time to visit the Louvre and/or the Musée d’Orsay, perhaps climb the Eiffel Tower. We might enjoy a walk up to Montmartre or a stroll through the Marais. This day is completely free to do as you wish. Lori will be available with activity/shopping/tour/dining suggestions. Day 10 – Friday, May 29: Today will be a full day as we join our guide for an adventure in Versailles. We’ll take an early train to the village where we’ll have an exclusive tour of Louis XIV’s kitchen garden, the Potager. We’ll wander the local market to pick up our appetizer course for our 4-course lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, we are booked for a private tour of the Palace of Versailles. Our train back to Paris should get us home in time to relax a little before dinner on our own.

Day 11 – Saturday, May 30: We will have the whole day free to do that last-minute souvenir shopping, sight-seeing or wine tasting. We’ll convene for our farewell dinner at Le Foodist, for a 5-course gastronomic meal with matching wines.
