ABOUT EF

12 days
France, Italy

Experience the range of French culture, from bustling Paris to the perfumeries and old town squares of the Riviera.

In Italy, the big sights match France’s proud history. The Florence Duomo is a Renaissance treasure; Pisa’s Leaning Tower let Galileo test his theories of gravity; and the Roman Colosseum represented a breakthrough both in architecture and mass entertainment.
