Delights of France tour

Hawkes Bay-based tour company New Zealand Nature Expeditions has enlisted an expert on France to plan its French tours for next year.

John Reese, of France the French Way, based in Christchurch, has chosen small, charming hotels and sought the most interesting and authentic villages, markets and restaurants for the next tour, which leaves from Auckland on May 29, 2001.

The Delights of France is a four-week tour, priced from $NZ11,940 a person or, excluding airfares, $9640. Single supplements are $NZ2560. The cost includes 25 nights accommodation in France, breakfasts and some dinners and lunches; all entry fees to attractions, and French and English-speaking guides. Rosalind Harker of New Zealand Nature Expeditions will accompany the tour from Auckland.
