HIGHLIGHTS: UNE INVITATION AU VOYAGE 2025

8-Day Program: FRANCE: PARIS, PROVENCE, AND NICE

France is one of the most diverse countries in Europe. It is like a jewelry box, full of hidden treasures, just waiting to be discovered. A true paradise on earth which is easy to reach, under one condition: we need 7 exclusive invitations to access its inner and outer beauty. This can be done with the help of a beautifully designed itinerary, but it’s not enough.

We also need to learn how to travel through time; appearing at monuments and places at the right pace and with the right food. For it is just as important to have the most delicious café at the best moment of the day to truly enjoy it. That’s what une invitation au voyage is all about: enabling us to travel blissfully.

INSURANCE:

We automatically include the standard “On Trip” insurance.  That’s coverage for things that might happen during the trip – once it has already started – such as lost baggage, injury, medical treatment, trip interruption, quarantine.  

During registration you will have the opportunity to choose from two “Optional” insurance upgrades are both for Pre-Trip Cancellation – something that prevents someone from traveling even before the trip starts. 

·        Option 1 (additional $30) is more for unexpected things that happen before the trip and prevent travel:  getting sick or injured, loss of a family member.  Think of things that are beyond control, and that need to be documented (such as doctors note suggesting not traveling). With document proof of a qualifying situation, reimbursement is up to 100% of the non-refundable trip cost. 

·        Option 2 (additional $150) includes the same Option 1 benefits, but also has CFAR coverage (Cancel for Any Reason) in events that are NOT covered by Option 1 (such as just deciding not to go.  No reason is needed, and no proof of reason is needed.  Reimbursement is up to 75% of non-refunded payments. Must notify us at least 48 hours prior to departure date.

If neither Option 1 or 2 are chosen, then there is no additional reimbursement of payments after Discovery Expeditions has applied our cancellation terms.  Review our Terms & Conditions. Option 1 & 2 are only for cancellation BEFORE the trip starts.
