The South of France Sample Itinerary

On of the features of Lee’s Travel Guide is a page of sample itineraries that you can use or modify to meet your preferences for holiday. This one is a tour of the south of France that starts with a riverboat tour on the Saône and Rhone rivers. It then continues with an itinerary that includes many places and sites in Provence. An exert from the itinerary:

This river cruise from Avalon Waterways could be a good way to begin a trip to southern France. You can fly into Paris and begin the tour there, and it will take you to Nice, in Provence, on the French Riviera. If you have never been to France before, and especially if you haven’t done much traveling, an escorted tour like this can be a good introduction to France before you start going around on your own.

The Most Expensive Wines in the World

This is a post from A Luxury Travel Blog. Here is an exert:

Wine-searcher.com has sifted through a database of more than 42,910 prices lists, totalling almost 6 million wine offers, to come up with a list of the most expensive wines in the world based on the average price of a standard bottle (750ml).

Personally, I am more interested in the best tasting wines than the most expensive. High prices don’t always reflect the best tasting.
