Lastly, it’s on to Paris, where, together with a private guide, you will embark on a historical journey through the key moments of the German occupation until the city’s liberation in 1944.
With TV shows like The Darkest Hour, Dunkirk and The Crown dominating our screens — and our conversations — these days, this is a great time to see and experience this fascinating history for yourself under the guidance of true experts. Prices per person start at US$8,700 and includes stays at Gravetye Manor, Amberley Castle and Villa Lara Normandy.
