Highlights

Paris
This trip features three full days in the City of Light. Our hotel of choice is the magnificent Hotel Bedford, a family-owned luxury hotel in the heart of the city. From here we will visit Paris’s greatest sites and enjoy some magnificent experiences, such as a world-class cooking class and a dinner river cruise!

Normandy
From Paris our private coach will take us north into Normandy. Our base here is Lisieux, the birthplace and burial-place of the “Little Flower”, Saint Therese of Lisieux. Here we will allow Saint Therese to work in our hearts. In Normandy we’ll also visit the D-Day beaches and the American Cemetery!

Mont Saint-Michel
Next up, Mont Saint-Michel. This great island is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, who in the 8th century appeared to a local bishop and asked that the island be dedicated to God. Ever since this has been one of Europe’s greatest pilgrimage destinations!

Rouen & Chartres
On our way to Chartres we’ll visit the city of Rouen, where Saint Joan of Arc was held captive and later martyred. We’ll see the Cathedral of Rouen and then depart for Chartres, our final destination! Get ready for cobblestones, great food and a stained-glass class!

Trip Patron
St. Therese of Lisieux – the Little Flower – is one of history’s greatest saints. As our trip patron, we will pray to St. Therese before and during the trip, asking this incredible saint to protect us through our journey!
