Air Canada Vacations plans the basis of your trip; all you must do is enjoy your tour of Europe and explore your destination, as you wish.

"This formula ensures that travellers have access to a careful selection of hotels, an ideal location, and a safe neighbourhood, all thanks to Air Canada Vacation’s 50 years of expertise in creating memorable experiences," says Ericka Baron.

Tours include round-trip flights with Air Canada, transfers between the airport and the hotel, accommodations and daily breakfast, transportation between the different destinations on the itinerary, certain activities or excursions depending on the selected tour, the first checked bag and one carry-on bag, not to mention the accumulation of Aeroplan^® points.

"As soon as travellers get off the plane, their vacation begins. A driver will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to your hotel. This peace of mind is second to none! You even have the contact details of a resource at your destination in case of need," says Ericka Baron.

A COUNTRY THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO SEDUCE TRAVELLERS

France remains a favourite destination for travellers, thanks to its rich cultural, historical, and gourmet heritage. The 22 tour packages available in France, some of which are offered year-round, serve the airports of Paris, Nice, Lyon, and Toulouse. Canadians therefore have plenty of choice when it comes to discovering this country, from the city they prefer.

"Some tours combine different destinations to allow travellers to discover several regions of France. If you’re a foodie, for example, the Paris-Lyon combo is a must! For those who prefer a laid-back experience and lots of turquoise waters, Nice and the Côte d'Azur are perfect! The duration of the tours varies between 7 and 11 days and flights are included," explains Ericka Baron.

A STAY IN PARIS, DELIGHTFUL IN EVERY WAY

Earlier this year, Ericka Baron had the opportunity to test the Paris à la mode tour, offered in winter and summer. This 9-day package to discover the City of Light offers amazing activities, which allow you to soak up the Parisian atmosphere, as well as free time to explore at your own pace.

"I’ve had the chance to visit Paris several times in my life and this tour had some nice surprises in store for me! First, I fell in love with the Chocolate Museum! This activity offers a historical component followed by a creative workshop and a tasting session," says the destination services specialist. "Also, I had the pleasure of enjoying the Paradis Latin cabaret experience. I felt like I was travelling back in time with this unique show held in a magnificent building designed by Gustave Eiffel," recalls Ericka.

"The final must-try on my list was dinner at Le Moulin de la Galette, in the Montmartre district. It’s a very popular place and it can be difficult to get a reservation. With the tour offered by Air Canada Vacations, a meal in this typical restaurant is included. All you need to do is enjoy the magical moment," concludes the travel specialist.

With 22 thoughtfully curated tours, your perfect French escape has never been easier to plan — or more exciting to experience. Bon voyage!
