    Spain, Provence & Paris

    Duration13 Days
    CountryFrance, Spain

    "Spain, Provence & Paris" crosses two countries by high-speed rail, opening with four nights in Barcelona — Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter, a Costa Brava beach day — before a Renfe-SNCF connection through Nîmes and a day at the Pont du Gard and the Palais des Papes. Your group's week in Paris runs from a night visit to the Eiffel Tower to a hands-on croissant workshop and a guided morning at Versailles.

    Day by Day

    1

    Day 1

    Barcelona (Arrival)

    Arrival is followed by an orientation walk down Las Ramblas and through the Gothic Quarter, and the day closes with a welcome dinner built around icebreaker games — the first of many group activities that turn forty strangers into travelling teams before the first night's sleep.

    2

    Day 2

    Barcelona — Modernism and Gaudí

    A school-group entry covers the Sagrada Família, followed by Park Güell, before an afternoon gymkhana through Gràcia challenges teams to track down the neighbourhood's modernist architecture against the clock, photographing the best angle on each building for a running score across the week.

    3

    Day 3

    Barcelona — Ancient History, Beach and Culture

    The morning covers Roman and medieval Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter, and the afternoon turns to the beach at Barceloneta for team volleyball and a swim in the Mediterranean. The evening brings a flamenco class that closes with a short showcase between patrols.

    4

    Day 4

    Costa Brava (Full-Day Excursion)

    A full-day excursion reaches Girona for a walk through its medieval quarter, still recognisable from its use as a film location, before the group turns to the Costa Brava for a morning of team kayaking, paddle surfing and snorkelling in its coves, with speed challenges run between patrols.

    5

    Day 5

    Barcelona to Nîmes/Avignon (Travel Day)

    A Renfe-SNCF high-speed train crosses the border to Nîmes, where an orientation walk through the historic centre passes the exterior of the Roman arena. A welcome Provençal dinner follows, and on the train itself teams competed in a French-phrase contest to see who could pick up the most before arrival.

    6

    Day 6

    Provence — The Pont du Gard and Avignon

    The Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct approached here through its engineering rather than as a monument alone, opens the day, followed by the Palais des Papes and the Pont d'Avignon. The afternoon is free along the Gardon river, with an optional swim, and later in small groups through the streets of Avignon.

    7

    Day 7

    Nîmes/Avignon to Paris (Travel Day)

    A high-speed train reaches Paris, and after an orientation walk, the group's first stop after dark is the Eiffel Tower, lit for the night — a photo challenge built around the first sight of the illuminated tower closes the day's long journey on a high.

    8

    Day 8

    Paris — The Louvre and the Seine

    A free school-group entry covers the Louvre's highlights — the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo — before a group bike ride along the banks of the Seine, stopping for photos on its bridges. The day ends with a sunset river cruise, deck time left free to socialise.

    9

    Day 9

    Paris — The Eiffel Tower by Day and a Talent Show

    A second-floor ascent of the Eiffel Tower is followed by an urban-planning workshop at Trocadéro and the Champ de Mars, teams asked to redesign a Parisian block. The evening's talent show, staged with the tower lit up behind them, turns each team's act into the trip's most memorable night.

    10

    Day 10

    Paris — Montmartre and Gastronomy

    Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur open the morning, followed by a hands-on croissant-making workshop — flour on every hand, and friendly competition over whose comes out best. The afternoon is free in small groups around the boutiques and cafés of Le Marais, the day's only unstructured stretch of time.

    11

    Day 11

    Paris — Versailles

    A guided visit to the Palace of Versailles, its history of absolute monarchy explained room by room, is followed by a team orientation race through the gardens, checkpoints set between fountains and hedges — a competition that turns one of Europe's grandest estates into an afternoon-long scavenger hunt.

    12

    Day 12

    Paris — The Latin Quarter and Farewell

    A team market challenge through the Latin Quarter is followed by free time for last-minute shopping, before the trip closes with a farewell dinner built around each team's own final presentation — music, applause and the sense of an ending shared by the whole group.

    13

    Day 13

    Departure

    Breakfast and packing are followed by the transfer to the airport, closing thirteen days that opened on Las Ramblas, crossed the border by high-speed rail for the Pont du Gard and the Palais des Papes, and ended among the monuments, workshops and markets of Paris.
