A Floating Classical-Music Festival to Paris, Burgundy and Provence with Performance Today
Please join me, Fred Child, as I host a special Performance Today arts voyage to France. Also joining us will be Earthbound Expeditions founders, Matthew and Danna Brumley. In addition, you’ll be traveling with
fellow enthusiasts of music and the arts on a ten day celebration of “L’Art de Vivre in France”!
Our in-depth adventure starts when we board our exclusively chartered first class small ship, the MS Van
Gogh. We will cruise north on the historic Rhône river among picturesque villages, ancient archaeological sites and esteemed wine estates. Along the way we will enjoy exclusive Perf Chats with PT Young Artists in Residence who will perform a curated chamber music repertoire that will be the perfect accompaniment to our daily pursuit of beauty.
After we disembark, we’ll stop in Burgundy to sample some of the region’s outstanding Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays before we arrive in the City of Light. In Paris, we’ll walk in the footsteps of Picasso, Rodin and Hemingway, and have free time to explore the many museums, bookstores, colorful markets and cafés of Paris. Foodies will enjoy a complementary cooking demonstration at the world-famous Cordon Bleu. To cap off the perfect day: a tour of the spectacular Garnier Opera House.
This adventure is a perfect composition of breathtaking natural splendor, exceptional music, and unforgettable art. Whatever your passion, be it classical music, wine tasting, food, art, or simply pursuing the French “joie de vivre,” do join us. We look forward to exploring the treasures of France with you in 2024!
