Trip cancellation insurance and health insurance is strongly advised, so that you will be protected if you find it necessary to cancel the tour or return home early. We will mail you an insurance brochure so you can be informed.

We cannot be responsible for changes in the itinerary that result from actions taken by our suppliers. In good faith we will make the best alternative plans possible.

Tour details are subject to change based on size of group.

 

I have planned the itinerary to include broad artistic and cultural interests. Travel between Nice, Avignon and Paris will be by train. Our excursions outside of cities will be by private coach and public transportation. And we walk and walk and walk. Please note: You will be lifting and carrying your own suitcase and hand luggage during the tour, especially on and off the trains. Luggage (one checked bag and one carry-on bag) and "packing light" will be discussed in one of the newsletters. Participants need to be in good physical condition to fully enjoy this moderately strenuous tour. There will be steps and cobblestone streets to navigate. Please check with your doctor if you have specific health concerns, and contact me if you would like further information regarding the pace of the excursion.


Starting in December I will send you monthly newsletters filled with descriptions of the cities, towns and villages, as well as museums, monuments and places of interest on our itinerary. Included will be suggestions for packing and pre-trip reading. Before the tour begins the group will be invited to meet in Pacific Grove for an introduction to each other, and an overview of the tour's destinations and activities. This is a chance to have your questions answered and to share your ideas and specific interests. I am always available to chat by phone or email, and I encourage you to contact me with your questions.


The size of the group will not exceed 20 participants. We welcome those who want to come with a friend or family member and, if possible, I will match up singles (non-smoking only) wanting a roommate. In addition to planned activities, there will be time to browse in the shops, search for fabric, discover a treasure, visit a museum, find the right moment for a photo, make a sketch, and spend time with other quiltmakers on the tour. And again we remind you that this excursion involves daily walking and stair climbing. Except for lunch and tea breaks, it is not unusual to be on your feet most of the day.
