Day 7

bordeaux (le verdon) - france

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 20:00

Bordeaux is a vibrant and expansive city where wine continues to flow and churches remain standing. Its streets are adorned with appealing shopping arcades and beautiful 18th-century riverfront facades. This city is a haven for wine enthusiasts and an ideal choice for a romantic getaway. Perhaps the most notable feature of the Cathédrale St-André is the diverse array of flying buttresses that surround it. To the right of the main portico is a 16th-century buttress made up of a series of slender columns. Next to the Church of St-Michel is the equally stunning, free-standing bell tower, a commanding and hollow structure. If you've ever been curious about Flamboyant Gothic, these buildings provide an unparalleled definition of the style. Also not to be overlooked is Bordeaux’s Romanesque representative, the Church of Ste-Croix, with its richly decorated facade. And of course, you can't leave Bordeaux without visiting the Maison du Vin, which offers free tastings of regional wines. The city is also within easy reach of the sublime, immensely enjoyable Dune du Pilat, a colossal mountain of silky sand that seems to bring out the acrobat in everyone.

Located on the North Sea coast, Zeebrugge occupies a central position along the Belgian shoreline. Its short distance to Great Britain and its proximity to densely populated, industrialized cities make it a major crossroads for traffic from all directions. An expressway to Bruges links Zeebrugge to the European motorway network, and the village is also accessible by train and tram. A 12 km canal connects the port directly to the center of Bruges.

paris (le havre), france

Arrival: 06:30 - Departure: 20:00

Le Havre is a port city located at the mouth of the Seine River, on the English Channel in the Upper Normandy region of France. The name "Le Havre" translates to "the harbor" in English. Historically, Le Havre has always served as the harbor for Paris, with goods being transferred there between ocean-going vessels and barges that travel to Paris via the Seine River. Le Havre was heavily bombed during the Battle of Normandy. The town's reconstruction was led by August Perret, who used reinforced concrete. This project resulted in the city being added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The most significant places to visit in Le Havre include St. Joseph's Church, the Cathedrale Notre Dame, the Maison de l'Armateur, and the Town Hall, which is situated on one of the largest squares in France. Visitors can climb the tower for a panoramic view of the city's layout.

Day 12

london (tower bridge),uk

Arrival: 05:00

Among all European capitals, London holds the most profound place in the hearts of travelers. We become familiar with London even before we realize its existence, and when we finally visit the city, it never fails to meet our expectations. The iconic red double-decker buses, the police officers and stoic guards at Buckingham Palace, the historic Westminster Abbey, and the familiar chimes of Big Ben, all of which we've heard of before, greet us with a sense of satisfaction. However, London is full of surprises. It's not just a quaint city. It's not merely a museum, even though you could spend all your time hopping from one to another. It's a bustling, sprawling metropolis, filled with traffic jams, stores, and an incredibly diverse international population. Explore the numerous monuments that span nearly a thousand years of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the Mayflower's captain drank, to Piccadilly Circus, one of London's most photographed locations. But don't overlook modern London, with its vibrant theatre scene, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and aristocrats, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," and this statement still holds true. There's something new to experience every day in London.
