Classic France

Round-trip train journey from Paris to Nice, Aix-en-Provence, and Avignon

Railbookers sells Classic France as a 9-day, 8-night independent rail package that travels by train from Paris to Nice, Aix-en-Provence, and Avignon before returning to Paris. In Paris, the trip takes in the Basilique du Sacre Coeur Cathedral, a hilltop church, and the Eiffel Tower. In Nice, on the French Riviera coast, the package includes beach time and seaside dining. From there, the trip continues to Aix-en-Provence, where travelers can stroll the narrow streets of the Quartier Mazarin district or follow in the footsteps of the painter Cezanne, before the route continues on to Avignon. Because it is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers explore each stop largely on their own between the train connections Railbookers arranges.
