A Fund Raising River cruise to Benefit the Coast Mental Health Foundation
Limited Space remaining
Bid bonjour to the bountiful beauty of Bordeaux with a captivating cruise on the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers to delight in one of France’s most exquisite regions. Embark from Bordeaux itself, the capital of the splendid Nouvelle-Aquitaine region—famed for its legendary vineyards and wines. Be carried away by Avalon’s signature included Classic, Active, or Discovery experiences of your choice—from the regal histories of castles and Châteaux to the romantic cellars where wine bouquets and bon-vivant cuisine tempt the palate. While the landscapes and lush pastoral treasures are plentiful along the shores of the Garonne and Dordogne, Avalon
elevates each immersive experience for a deeper discovery of the cultural and architectural treasures that recall the rich traditions of Southwest France. From unparalleled panoramic drives to forested two-wheel excursions by bike to the delicacies of seaside Arcachon—the world is your oyster on this adventure in la belle vie of Bordeaux!
First of all, the people on the tour, including our hosts John and Theresa Bishop were very friendly and welcoming. Many on the tour were well seasoned travellers. We enjoyed conversing and getting to know everyone.
W & T | Scotland
The scenery of Scotland, especially the highlands and northern Islands such as the Orkney Islands were beautiful and we wish we had more time to spend there.
We have lovely memories of meeting our ‘coach’ folks and sharing the beautiful views of Scotland with you.
Until we meet on the ‘high road’ again.
