France · 2-DAY EXPERIENCES
The good 2-day experiences fill weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: which to book early, what each includes and how they differ once you are there.
Hop-on hop-off open-top bus in Nice with audio guide, Promenade des Anglais, Place Garibaldi, and Villefranche. 1-2 days.
“Great way to see the city and surrounding area and to get bearings”
Two days from Paris to Rouen, Honfleur, D-Day beaches, and Mont St-Michel with Caen hotel, meals, and tickets included.
“Fast paced trip. Lots of walking involved so if you don’t like to walk or can’t walk relatively long distances, this may not be the trip for you, especially at Mt St Michael. Tour Guide was excellent. The only reason this is not a 5 star is the hotel left something to be desired namely air conditioning.”
Hop-on hop-off bus in Bordeaux with 10 stops, audio in 8 languages, Visiotour app, electric canopy, and a canelé treat.
“A great way to see the city with some commentary on the history of the city. Especially good if you do not have a lot of time in one place. The sound on a few of the buses were quite muffled but other than that a great experience. The canele was a delicious touch.”
Hop on an open-top bus in Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, and Cap d’Antibes with audio guide, flexible stops, and 360-degree views.
“La visite est très sympa et assez longue, presque 1 heure et demie, le parcours reste intéressant tout du long, le cap reste magique en cette période de l’année.”
A fast, focused 2-day Normandy and Brittany loop from Paris, with D-Day sites, Rouen, Saint-Malo, and Mont Saint-Michel plus a hotel stay.
“This tour was a fantastic, effective, organised and immersive way to see the sites of Normandy and Brittany. As an Australian tourist over there in August, our tour guide Layla and legendary bus driver, Brian made it easy!! Note that this tour is a snapshot of these areas, so you might not spend as much time as you would like exploring (which was no issue for us!!)”
2 days from Paris to Mont Saint-Michel and the Loire Valley, with guided abbey interiors, Chambord and Chenonceau, plus a 4-star hotel.
“Mont St Michel was very impressive, but their tour information for tourists was poor. I had a problem with the shuttle bus system because there was no map showing the shuttle stop. Although my tour guide advised us to take a shuttle, the first comer speaking English to the area couldn’t get the reality on poor signs on the street. On the way to the parking lot, we met some French people, but no one can point where is the parking lot for bus. The worst thing was I couldn’t find my luggage in my bus. Just the bus driver asked me to search baggage. Finally my tour guide started…”
Pick a kind of day and see what France does best.
