About the trip

This week-long tour begins in Paris, where strolls through Montmartre and views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica offer a quieter contrast to the echoing grandeur of the city’s boulevards. Alongside, a night orientation reveals softly-lit Parisian streets away from the usual tourist buzz.

Next is Lyon, a city with its own distinctive feel; beneath the towering Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière it’s possible to glimpse the narrow, winding lanes where local life unfolds, before taking a 48-hour metro card to delve deeper yourself. At Nîmes, reminders of Roman times wait in the amphitheatre and the nearby Pont du Gard aqueduct.

The tour concludes in Barcelona, where Gaudí’s architectural eccentricity punctuates the city skyline, and the Gothic Quarter’s alleys hold stories layered through centuries. Local transport tickets included allow independent adventures amid distinctive Catalan character. G Adventures' small-group style keeps the travel convivial without overwhelming numbers.
