The Capital

Paris

Boulevards lined with mansions, the Louvre's unrivalled collection, the Eiffel Tower's golden hour glow — and a culinary scene that defined the world's relationship with food

The Kitchen

Lyon

France's undisputed gastronomic capital — bouchons serving quenelles and andouillette, a UNESCO old town of silkweavers' passageways, and the spirit of Paul Bocuse in every dish

The Countryside

Provence

Van Gogh's light, Cézanne's mountains, Roman aqueducts, lavender carpeting the plateau, rosé wine and the most beautiful villages in France

This is France as it was meant to be experienced — not rushed between tourist sites, but absorbed slowly, in the way the French live it. Three days in Paris for the icons and the hidden streets of the Marais. Three days in Lyon, where the city's bouchon tradition turns simple cooking into something profound. Four days in Provence, where the light is unlike anywhere on earth and time moves at the pace of the lavender breeze.

The TGV connects the cities seamlessly. Hire a car for Provence and the hilltop villages open up. Every Lunara Travel itinerary is built around you — your pace, your passions, your version of France.

YOUR JOURNEY

The Journey

Paris begins it, grand and unhurried, its boulevards opening beneath the pale northern light. The Louvre holds the centuries under glass, Montmartre tilts its cobbled lanes toward the city, and the Seine turns to soft gold as the evening gathers. Three days here are a study in how to look, and how to linger.

Southward by fast rail the country softens into Lyon, where the two rivers meet and the old Renaissance quarters climb the hillside. This is the capital of the table, a place to eat long and well between humble bouchons and the Michelin heights, walking it off afterward through the secret traboule passages as the evening settles in.

The journey finds its rest at last in Provence, where the light turns to honey and the air moves with lavender and wild thyme. Hilltop villages hold the heat of the afternoon, Roman stones moulder quietly in the fields, and the market mornings ask nothing of you but a basket and a slow blue sky. France, in three breaths.
