New Orleans Touches in France
Paris, Versailles, and Bordeaux
June 1–9, 2025
Public registration opens December 2, 2024
The Historic New Orleans Collection is delighted to announce its annual spring international journey, which in 2025 will focus on the incredibly rich cultural heritage – with so many ties to Louisiana – of two great French cities, Paris and Bordeaux.
Beginning in the City of Lights, which will be in full late springtime splendor, our itinerary features private access to amazing places – royal apartments at Versailles, special collections at historic libraries, and behind-the-scenes looks at the freshly restored Notre Dame cathedral.
After speeding down to southwest France via the famed TGV train, we spend four days soaking up the architectural, scenic, and gastronomic glories of Bordeaux and its famed wine country. You’ll be special guests in private homes, splendid chateaux, and majestic theaters, and you will discover Bordeaux’s amazing 18th century urban fabric, one of the best preserved in the world, reflecting the time when merchants, sailors, and vintners from Bordeaux were active in the early days of New Orleans.
Great food and lovely company enrich the tour, and whether you’ve never been to France, or been a dozen times, we’re confident this trip will be a magical one.
