France is an unusual and multifaceted country. Therefore, many people dream of visiting there and get acquainted with historical and cultural attractions since childhood. If you do not have a personal car, then the most economical option to travel to France will be a bus tour. But before buying a tour to France, you should know a few nuances.
Routes
First, there are no tours directly and only through France from Russia - our countries have no common borders .For this reason, tours to France are often supplemented by other countries and cities .If you go on a tour from central Russia, then most of the trip to France is preceded by a train to Brest, after - a transfer through Poland (includes also accommodation in a Polish hotel, sometimes - sightseeing tours in Warsaw and Krakow) .Next, either Berlin with Paris (for which most of the tour takes 2-4 days), and after - the Benelux countries .In another version of this tour left on the sweet Paris closes the parade of the cities of Benelux (most often in this tour there is at least one night crossing - the last one: 1000 km through France, Belgium and Germany for a day can be passed, but difficult).
If you travel from the north-west, then one of the most common types of the tour will be Scandinavia-Paris: a bus from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, then a ferry to Stockholm, from Stockholm to Copenhagen, Rostock or Puttgarden, then by bus to Amsterdam. br>.After a sightseeing tour around the city and overnight in one of the hotels the group travels to Paris, where it spends 3-4 days .At the same time, excursions to the suburbs of the French capital and other cities of the country are planned, but they are almost always paid separately and will result in another 100-150 EUR per person .The way home is usually through Brussels, Lubeck and again Stockholm from Helsinki or Turku .
Routes inside France
The most "French" are tours of the provinces of France. They last longer, are more expensive, but they will help to make a more complete picture of the country than tours in the national team of hodgepodge with the Benelux. In this case, of course, without the latter, too, does not do.
A 13-day tour of the route "Berlin-Brussels-Bruges-Rouen-Caen-Mont-Saint-Michel-Saint-Malo-Ren-Fougères-Chartres-Paris-Reims-Metz-Luxembourg" will result in 600 euros railway tickets to Brest and back, as well as mandatory fees, including visa, and additional excursions. The above will add to the cost of the tour an additional 100-150 EUR minimum.
Excursions + rest
A separate type of tours to France - a trip to the scheme "Paris + rest on the Cote d'Azur". This is the longest (from 15 days) and the most expensive (from 700 EUR without railway tickets), however they combine all the best that is in sightseeing tours to France and bus tours to the sea.
