Bonjour from Jeff and Joyce Romans! We are self-confessed "Rick Steves-aholics," having completed our second tour in September 2012 - Villages and Vineyards of Eastern France. As we planned and packed for this tour we wondered, with nervous anticipation, if this tour could possibly be as good as the last (which was to Rick's favorite country, Italy). France was never high on our "bucket list," but the lure of the wine drew us in.
Perhaps you are getting ready to embark on a similar journey or thinking of booking a trip. If you are anything like me, you are searching the web for photos and stories of others who journeyed before you. On this site you will see photos of many of the breathtaking sights we saw, food we savored, and wine we sampled. It's all part of the experience. We love wine, so you will find tidbits of information about the wines in the regions you will be visiting. There are hyperlinks to many of the hotels and places visited within the pages, in case you want to learn more about them! I've also included a few hints that we've picked up in our two tours. While we aren't veteran Rick Steves travelers yet, we have learned a lot from our fellow travelers. I hope you will find that some of our tips make your trip even more enjoyable. Was the trip as good as the last? Oh yes! Perhaps even better. And now...let's start our journey...I hope that you enjoy it! |
