How could next year NOT be incredible when it starts with you prancing around Paris?! Gather round and get ready to hit the road, the party starts pronto. Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're seeing things and we haven't even left the UK! We'll take in the history of World War I battlefields as we drive through the Valley of the Somme and Vimy Ridge. This sobering reminder of the war, and a historical talk will help us remind ourselves of the days gone by. Cheese, wine, blockbuster sights at every corner, museums, shopping - the list is endless and the good times are only just beginning. Tonight, we'll tuck into a delicious included dinner in Montmartre.

One final morning to enjoy coffee, croissants and magical Parisian winter vibes before we make our way back home - with airport drop-off included too.
