Classic Tour of France, Switzerland & Italy | Paris + Lucerne + Rome + Venice | 7 Days 6 Nights Private Luxury Experience

Stroll before the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, feeling the grandeur where Gothic and Classicist styles blend; beneath the semi-circular arcades of Place de la Libération, one might almost hear the hoofbeats of the Louis XIV era; though small, Dijon Cathedral tells stories of centuries past with its exquisite gargoyles and chiming bells.

Arrive at the tranquil shores of Lake Lucerne, check into your hotel, and recharge for tomorrow's journey into the Swiss paradise.

Stroll across the Chapel Bridge, Europe’s oldest wooden bridge, where the octagonal Water Tower is perfectly reflected in the clear waters of Lake Lucerne, like a postcard come to life. Before the Lion Monument, the dying lion silently commemorates the loyalty of Swiss mercenaries.

Feel the pulse of the Renaissance beneath the heavy walls of Sforza Castle; pass through the glass dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, where the shimmering luxury windows lead you to the Milan Cathedral, the world’s largest Gothic church, whose white marble spires pierce the sky in breathtaking splendor.

Listen to the symphony of pigeons and bells in St. Mark’s Square; imagine the final sighs of prisoners under the Bridge of Sighs. You may choose to glide through winding canals in a gondola, feeling the unique romance of this car-free city, or take a vaporetto along the Grand Canal to view the palaces and churches from a different perspective.

Bid farewell to the city of water in the afternoon, traveling south along the Apennine Peninsula to Rome. The night of this Eternal City awaits your exploration.

Feel the roar of gladiators and the glory of the empire before the Colosseum (exterior); the Arch of Constantine marks the historical turning point when Christianity became the state religion. Stroll to Piazza Venezia to admire the magnificent white marble architecture; at the Trevi Fountain, toss a coin over your shoulder to wish for your return to Rome. Finally, on the steps of the Spanish Steps, relive the classic moment of Audrey Hepburn in *Roman Holiday*.

Drive to the cradle of the Renaissance—Florence—in the afternoon. Check into your hotel and immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere of this "Firenze."

Drive north in the evening to the culinary capital of Lyon and check into your hotel.

Take a Seine River cruise to view the towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower amidst the "Moveable Feast." Finally, conclude this dreamy journey across France, Switzerland, and Italy under the majestic Arc de Triomphe.
