UWM Community Group Heads to France

UWM at Waukesha is excited to have its Continuing Education department leading a second tour to France this year! The group will tour northern France and stay in Versailles, Caen, Saint-Malo, Loire Valley, and Paris in April 2023.

From the royal Palace of Versailles to the enchanting streets of Paris, grab a baguette and rendezvous with the best of France. Explore the former royal court and gardens in Versailles. Stroll past the magnificent, colorful flora in Monet’s garden in Giverny. One highlight of this tour is a 2-night stay in a stunning, renovated château in the UNESCO World Heritage Loire Valley.

This group will be visiting Omaha Beach with a stop by the Normandy American Cemetery and Visitor Center to see the stars and stripes raised over the gravels of the valiant soldiers who gave their lives in the Battle of Normandy. The group will also visit the Pointe du Hoc Ranger Memorial and see where the 2nd Ranger Battalion scaled 100-foot cliffs on D-Day to seize the fortified enemy position.

With a strong appreciation of Art, the group will be touring Monet’s countryside home at Giverny to see the artist’s inspiration, including the setting for his iconic Waterlilies. With a visit of the famous Chenonceau Castle to a tour of a winery and its impressive underground caves, to a cruise along the Seine as you take in the highlights in Paris, this tour is sure to cover everything you have dreamed France could be.
