France · 6-DAY EXPERIENCES
Good 6-day experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Pick up a 2, 4, or 6-day Paris Museum Pass near the Louvre and use it for free entry to more than 60 museums and monuments, including the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, and the Arc de Triomphe. You can add a Seine cruise, but several popular sights still require free timed reservations.
“It was great. We skipped the long lines and made each museum experience a better one.”
Spend six days at the French Dining School in Kerrouet, Brittany, cooking lunch and dinner with Michelin-trained chef Poul Jensen. Host Niall O’Reilly handles hospitality, drinks, and local advice. Expect hands-on lessons, four-course meals, wine pairings, six nights of lodging, and a free day for a market or Mont Saint-Michel.
“I can't recommend this cooking school enough. I have taken many one day cooking courses both inside and outside the US, as well as longer non residential cooking programs, but none of them compare to this program. Chef Poul is a fantastic chef and teacher and his partner Naill manages most everything else, including making lovely cocktails before dinner and rendering Brittany advice.”
Pick a monument, a coast or a cellar.
