Burgundy

This day trip will take us to the most celebrated wine region in the world. We will leave Paris in the morning on the fast train (T.G.V.) to Dijon. We will be met by our local guides and driven through the Cote D’Or (the Golden Ridge) to the City of Beaune. This tour includes vineyard tours, comparative wine tasting, lunch and visits to the cultural attractions such as the Hotel de Dieu in Beaune and the village of Clos Vougeot with their famous markets. At the end of the day, we will return to Paris from Beaune on the last T.G.V.

   
 

Itinerary in Paris

We will be visiting sights, monuments, museums, parks and gardens of different neighborhoods of Paris. Each neighborhood has its own diverse and individual characteristics; we could visit some major museums as well as some smaller ones along with temporary exhibitions. We will often take our time and enjoy a glass wine at the neighborhood cafe and spend an afternoon or two shopping. We will provide you with a calendar of Paris and will assist you with bookings at fine restaurants, operas, ballets, and other performances. You will have the full support of bilingual guides.
     
 

Roland Garros 2002

The package will offer you 3 full days at the Roland Garros Stadiums during the first week of the tournament. We will have reserved seats at the Center court for 2 days and one day at the Suzanne Lenglen Stadium. Each ticket will also give you access to 18 outside courts where one could watch great tennis very intimately from 11 AM to 8 or 9 PM. If matches are canceled due to weather or other reasons, the seat privileges are lost for that day .

   
 

Accommodations

We have selected the Residence Bassano, a four star charming hotel located off of the Champs Elysees Avenue near the Arc de Triumphe. This hotel was renovated in 2001 and has been decorated tastefully. The hotel has marble bathrooms, satellite TV, air conditioning, room service and other amenities. It is centrally located and we find it to be most convenient for the Roland Garros Stadiums as well as shopping and all other outings.
