Rendez-Vous in the French Countryside
Date: September 22 to 29
$2,088 per person
(Airfare & Hotel/Resort Included)
Event Overview
Le Manoir Des Deux Amants is the idyllic French
countryside beckons with quaint cottages, colorful rural
streets lined with fresh flowers and breathtaking panoramas
of lush landscapes. The Normandy town of Connelles
offers a peaceful retreat amid the natural beauty
of France. Travel to the charming medieval town of
Rouen and visit the historical sites, castles, and cathedrals
for a truly unique experience. Discover the Giverny
Gardens and watch Monet’s masterpieces come to life.
Set amid the stunningly landscaped parkland in the
heart of the Normandy countryside, Le Manoir des
Deux Amants is perched in an enviable position along
the banks of the River Seine. Comfort and relaxation
await you in these spacious accommodations featuring
sumptuous furnishings. With a well-equipped
kitchen and delightful appointments, your suite creates
the perfect setting for an evening in. The leisure complex
provides entertainment for the whole family with
an outdoor swimming pool, sauna and game room.
Itinerary
Day 1
Most of you arrive throughout the day. Genevieve Wine
& Travel representative will all meet you at the luggage claim
area to provide you with the transportation to the resort.
After you are checked in to the resort, the rest of the day
is at leisure for you to enjoy the facilities and surroundings.
Day 2
This morning, we leave Le Manoir 9:00am. Visit a land
and history and legend. Immerse yourself in the Pays
Seine-Eure region by visiting Louviers Pont de L’arche
and Evreux. Your Journey will take in the wealth of history
and culture stretching back into the Middle Ages. And
the architecture is simply stunning from Vernon stone
and half-timbered houses right up to the most contemporary
of buildings. Certainly, a journey not to be missed.
Day 3
We leave the resort at 9:00am. First stop of the
day is at Chateau Gaillard, it is a ruined medieval
castle, located 90 metres (300 ft) above the commune
of Les Andelys overlooking the River Seine, in
the Eure department of Normandy, France. Here, you
will have some free time for sight-seeing on the hill
above. Although the castle is the main attraction,
you will also want to stroll along the banks of the
Seine river in Les Andelys, located 90 metres below
the castle. It is a pleasant village and you can
see the Hospice of Saint-Jacques and a gothic style
church as well as visit the Nicolas-Poussin Museum.
Enthusiasts of castles will also enjoy a visit to
the Chateau de Champ-de-Bataille to the west of
Les Andelys which is a complete contrast
to Chateau-Guillard, being the 17th century
castle surrounded by formal gardens.
Day 4
Today at 9:00am, we will head to Rouen Cathedral
is a Roman Catholic church in Rouen, Normandy,
France. With this striking Gothic architecture and
beautiful stain glass, this is one of the main attractions
in Rouen. A church was already present at the location
in the late 4th century, and eventually, a cathedral was
established in Rouen as in Poitiers. It was enlarged
by St. Ouen in 650 and visited Charlemagne in 769.
The most famous paintings of the cathedral were
done by the Impressionist artist Claude Monet,
who produced a series of paintings of the buildings
showing the same scene at different times
of the day and in different weather conditions.
Day 5
Today is at your leisure to further explore the Normandy
town of Connelles. Or go to Eiffel Tower about an
hour and 30mins drive from the resort. The Eiffel Tower
is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars
in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave
Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Day 6
We leave the resort at 9:00am. Our first stop of the
day at Zadig & Volaire. If you are in France and want
to get an insight into the fashion of the locals, stop by
this store and find yourself among some pretty clothes
and accessories for both men and women. Have lunch
at Gill, claimed to be one of Rouen’s best-kept gourmet
secrets, Gill offers splendid food in a stylish décor.
All food lovers and gourmets can sit back and enjoy different
culinary delights right in this restaurant. Then followed
at the Majuscule there you cannot find an exclusive
tea room, but also a secondhand bookshop. In the
tea room, you can choose between more than 40 types
of teas accompanied by homemade food and cakes.
Day 7
All good things must come to an end and today
is a getaway day. There will be scheduled transfer
from Le Manoir Des Duex Amants to the Airport
for your journey home or your onward travel plans.
First Come, First Serve.
Deadline to book: September 8

Motorcycle Tour of Route 66, Chicago to Santa Monica, USA
The ‘bucket list’ trip of a lifetime. Inspired by old movies, classic American literature, and legendary stories, this journey allows you to enjoy the sights and stunning scenery of America’s heartland on a self-driven Harley Davidson motorcycle. Much of the iconic road is now an American Scenic Byway and you’ll understand why when we roll through miles of open scenery, eat at old-school diners and stay in quirky western towns oozing with character. The once neglected route has been steadily restored and revitalized to preserve the historic charm and we have crafted the perfect nostalgic adventure for you to get your kicks on Route 66!
DAY 1 – ARRIVAL AND ORIENTATION IN CHICAGO, IL
We meet after lunchtime at the hotel and talk about our upcoming adventure on the Mother Road of America, Route 66. In the afternoon, we’ll conduct an orientation with the bikes to familiarize ourselves with the upcoming adventure and our Harley Davidsons. Afterward, we check out the beginning of Route 66 in downtown Chicago and head out for a hearty Chicago dinner to discuss our big adventure!
DAY 2 – CHICAGO TO SPRINGFIELD, IL – 185 MILES
Time to get on your bike and ride! After breakfast, we settle into our bikes and head west for California. This is our first day on the road. See icons such as the ‘Gemini Giant’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Old Log Cabin’, and the old ‘Marathon Oil Station’. There’ll be plenty of breaks and photo opportunities along the way. We also stop at a Route 66 Museum in Pontiac to learn about Route 66 and the people who made America great. That afternoon we arrive into Springfield on our Harley Davidsons and stay at a nice local hotel in historic downtown where we can have dinner at a local restaurant and celebrate our first night on the road.
DAY 3 – SPRINGFIELD TO SAINT LOUIS, MO – 175 MILES
We cross our first state line on Route 66 and head towards St. Louis. The Gateway Arch welcomes travelers heading East or West. The famous Budweiser Brewery. Maybe a blues bar tonight? Before we get to Saint Louis, we ride our Harley-Davidson motorcycles onto an old section of Route 66 that is all red bricks. Then to the historic Chain of Rocks Bridge. We will walk out on the old bridge over the mighty Mississippi River. Share your stories over dinner and prepare for your next day’s adventure.
DAY 4 – ST LOUIS TO LEBANON, MO – 153 MILES
Riding our motorcycles on Route 66 through neat little towns, now we will have really fallen into sync with our Harley Davidsons. We could have some great authentic BBQ for lunch, and see the World’s Largest Rocking Chair. We get to see the real America that is still here, far far away from the big cities and enjoy the rolling Missouri hills that make this trail so fun to ride! Then we ride down a deserted twisty old part of Route 66 on our motorcycles to Devil’s Elbow.
DAY 5 – LEBANON TO TULSA, OK – 233 MILES
This is a great section of RT 66 filled with Googie Architecture. These are the fabulous classic photo spots with buildings and signs inspired by jets, cars and the Atomic Age! A really great motorcycle ride on the old pavement of the Mother Road. Gary’s Gay Parita and the old Route 66 Rainbow Bridge are some highlights. We visit some great old diners to fuel ourselves with pie and milkshakes for our next stretch of open road.
DAY 6 – TULSA TO CLINTON, OK – 191 MILES
The Elk City Route 66 museum is our stop for today as we edge towards Texas. Traversing old cattle trails of the Great Plains, this is the wide open road America is famous for.
DAY 7 – CLINTON TO AMARILLO, TX – 176 MILES
Entering the panhandle, do you ever get the feeling that everything is bigger in Texas?! Known as ‘The Yellow Rose of Texas’, Amarillo is bang central in the middle of the Texan panhandle. The roads here will make you think of what it was like to travel across the country in decades past. After covering many miles over the last few days, you will have surely worked up your appetite for a classic Texan Steakhouse dinner tonight!
DAY 8 – AMARILLO TO SANTA FE, NM – 279 MILES
Just as we leave Amarillo, our first early stop is the amazing Cadillac Ranch – a Route 66 icon! Many rumors circulated about this eccentric art installation, and the changing look over the years (as you’re actively encouraged to help spray paint them!) makes it one of our favorite sights on Route 66.
As we reach our mid-point of the tour, we cross over another state border into Mew Mexico and welcome to Santa Fe. This is a beautiful, historic Southwest city with a fantastic blend of culture, art galleries, cuisine, and sight-seeing. We’ll spend some time here so you can soak up all the charm and marvel at how the scenery and culture have changed yet again on your Route 66 tour!
DAY 9 – SANTA FE TO GALLUP, NM – 199 MILES
We start the day riding the curvy hills to Maggie’s Diner where the big showdown was in “Wild Hogs”. We reach Albuquerque in time to stop for lunch. Next, we follow the Route 66 path, and end at the little town of Gallup, at El Rancho Hotel. The historic El Rancho Hotel and Motel has hosted a numerous array of movie stars including John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Doris Day, and Burt Lancaster. The rugged terrain surrounding Gallup was popular with Hollywood film makers during the 1940′s and 1950′s for the on-location shooting of Westerns so the entire cast and crew would stay at the hotel during filming.
DAY 10 – GALLUP TO GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, AZ
Today, we’ll be ‘standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona’. Then head further West to the Daddy of American National Parks – The Grand Canyon. We actually stay at the top of Grand Canyon so we can watch the sunset and arrange dinner on the rim. The majesty of one of the 7 natural wonders of the world has to be experienced to be believed. It’s such a fine sight to see…
DAY 11 – GRAND CANYON SOUTH RIM TO WILLIAMS, AZ – 51 MILES
We spend almost a full day at Grand Canyon National Park so you can choose your activity for the day. A helicopter ride, hike, view the Watchtower or just sit, relax and enjoy the scenery and dream of your next adventure. We’ll make our way to Williams, AZ for dinner in this quaint little sleepy town.
DAY 12 – WILLIAMS TO LAUGHLIN, NV – 190 MILES
Now you’ll really feel you’re in the Wild Wild West! We will be in the forgotten Route 66 a lot of the day, driving through Grand Canyon Caverns, Peach Springs, Kingman…Towards the end of the day, we will work our way on an incredibly slow winding road to the old mining town of Oatman. Wild burros, real old 49er gold miners with real Colt 45s on their hips to protect their gold. Not much has changed here the past 100 years. It is almost unbelievable that this winding mountain road was the main East West road until 1953 when Route 66 was re routed. Time has held still since then in Oatman. Laughlin is a little gambling town on the way to Vegas on the Colorado River. A bit of practice tonight will get you ready for the Big Time tomorrow.
DAY 13 – LAUGHLIN, NV TO LAS VEGAS, NV – 97 MILES
An early morning ride out beats the heat, and we head to Las Vegas. En route, we’ll stop at the Hoover Dam and see the newly constructed Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge connecting Arizona and Nevada. The 2,000-foot long bridge crosses Black Canyon just south of the dam, 900 feet above the Colorado River. We’ll approach the bright lights of Vegas, looking nothing like the small-town Americana we’ve enjoyed over the last two weeks and know that the pace is about to temporarily change. Explore the mega-casinos, hotels, gourmet restaurants, shows, and sights and remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!!
DAY 14 – LAS VEGAS, NV TO BIG BEAR LAKE, CA – 224 MILES
We take a little R66 excursion up into the amazing San Bernadino mountains. A last long hard ride through the desert, we are covered in desert dust. Our bikes are covered in road grime. They and we look and feel like we really did something. We’re nearing the end of our journey. Then a climb up into the twisty mountains brings us to an awaiting pool in the cool alpine town of Big Bear Lake.
DAY 15 – BIG BEAR LAKE TO SANTA MONICA PIER! – 113 MILES
It is not over yet! We ride the Rim of The World. An incredible ride on the top of a mountain range, with the clouds below. One of our most amazing rides. Then we drop into LA, freeways, civilization. We make it through all the way to the end of Route 66. We arrive at the famous Santa Monica Pier and invite you to keep the Ride Free tradition alive of ending the tour by planting our feet into the cold Pacific Ocean! We turn the bikes in at the end of the day and celebrate completing one of the world’s greatest road trips with a Farewell Dinner tonight!
DAY 16 – LOS ANGELES DEPARTURE
We say our goodbyes and plan for our next adventure. There is so much more to see in the USA in the future. A shuttle will take you to the LAX.
