Dear Friend,
I hope you and your family have enjoyed a fun and fulfilling summer, whether it was visiting friends and relatives, doing some sports or tasting new gastronomic delights... Keep it going into the fall with PML!
Europe in general and France especially are absolutely beautiful in the fall. Below you will find a few tips for organizing a fantastic journey to France for you and/or your discerning clients.
Some reading: the latest book by Antony Beevor, an English military expert, is a goldmine of information on the Normandy battle. Page after page, you will understand why the battle of Normandy, which lasted 50 days and killed more than 200 000 people, could have turned several times in favor of the Nazi troops.
Many French villages were completely demolished. Particularly the bell towers of the local churches were systematically fired upon by the Allied artillery. Why? Simply because the German snipers were using them for their excellent dominant viewpoint to shoot down the first Allied officers as they entered the village...

A custom tour of Normandy with Paris Major Limousines, might include a stop in Giverny, a look at the amazing historic city of Rouen and an afternoon in Deauville and Trouville, finishing the day in Honfleur.
The following day could start with a stop at the Pegasus Bridge , followed by a visit to the Queen Mathide tapestries in Bayeux . |
Use the afternoon to discover one of the landing beaches and visit interesting local museums. If times allows, add a tour to the Mont St Michel on the third day of your journey... No pressing schedules?
Then head off in the direction of the Loire Valley Chateaux for some completely different landscapes and architecture...

There were already a few yachting companies such as "Les Bateaux Parisiens" or the "Yachts of Paris" offering excellent service to the public, but you might consider using a newcomer, Paris Yacht Limousine. This new company offers ships of various sizes, from 2 guests to two hundred.
These yachts can be yours for an entire evening.
Their policy also allows you to pre-book the dinner of your choice from the best quality caterers.
