Alight on the verdant greens and historical scenes of the Benelux Union - a grouping of three countries that includes Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Savor the world-renowned culture and gastronomic delights of the one and only France. Combine time in these countries to enjoy a symphony for the senses in every right. France and Benelux tours capture the essence of Western Europe and offer an unforgettable look at the contrasts of this part of the world, where medieval cities sit alongside sparkling metropolises, and rich heritage is presented with a distinctly modern twist. Itineraries may join these countries by train, utilizing the ever-efficient Eurostar network or the high-speed Thalys, to travel between cities like Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. Each stop along the way captures the hearts of travelers with its unique je ne sais quoi. Paris' romantic arrondissements sit in stark contrast to the vast offerings of the "Capital of Europe," Brussels. Amsterdam, and surrounding towns in the Netherlands, add a softness to these trips, with their pretty canals, iconic windmills, and floral attractions. Tour packages may also explore this corner of the world aboard luxury river cruisers, navigating the charming ports of call that line French, Belgian and Dutch waterways and offering little-seen perspectives on the scenery that could only encompass Benelux and France.
