brochureWHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY
- David B."France through the Ages" was a feast for the body, mind, and soul!
- Marie L.Even though each of us has traveled to France on several occasions, taking "the road less traveled" on Smithsonian's "France through the Ages" tour was thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening. This was our first Smithsonian tour but assuredly will not be our last.
- Sharon S.This tour offered me a glorious buffet of France. Each day we got to sample new things and they were all wonderful. With my appetite fully whetted, I want to return and see more.
