Paris never fails to delight visitors with its magical atmosphere, romantic cruises and breathtaking architecture. Magnolia Travels brings you the magic of France, but takes you away from the usual touristic places to experience real French life too. You’ll start your tour with a trip up the Eiffel Tower - you simply have to do it! But then we take you to stay in Provins, a beautiful medieval town only one hour from Paris. We’ll take you to some authentic French cafés and restaurants, away from the hustle and bustle. There’s also an optional day trip to Disneyland Paris for little (and big) kids who can’t resist.</p>\n<p>France for families offers many wonderful add on options, including: a week cruising on the Dordogne, horseriding in Normandy, castles and beaches of La Vendée.</p> ","destination":[{"@name":"europe","@path":"/destinations/europe","@id":"6cc50e28-fb0e-4e49-b3b6-728690a2e861","@nodeType":"mgnl:category","name":"europe","level":"level-1","icon":"jcr:e0894297-fd1c-478a-bac1-a1eb11c5f02f","displayName":"Europe","image":"jcr:7e5e5622-b266-4451-b45b-3fde392d3a54","@nodes":[]}],"duration":14,"image":{"@name":"paris_eiffel_Louis Pellissier_IMG_8643","@path":"/tours/paris_eiffel_Louis-Pellissier_IMG_8643.jpg","@id":"jcr:090eb9c4-b35b-4869-a12f-6ea80292cba4","@link":"/dam/jcr:090eb9c4-b35b-4869-a12f-6ea80292cba4/paris_eiffel_Louis%20Pellissier_IMG_8643.2026-04-18-10-33-22.jpg","metadata":{"fileName":"paris_eiffel_Louis Pellissier_IMG_8643.jpg","mimeType":"image/jpeg","caption":"Eiffel Tower","fileSize":635870,"height":1536,"width":2048,"title":"Eiffel Tower","format":"image/jpeg","coverage":"1 Avenue Gustave V de Suède, Paris-16E-Arrondissement, France","description":"The beautiful symbol of Paris, Eiffel Tower, captured by a simple iPhone 4s in a single shot (2014).","publisher":"Louis Pellissier","rights":"zero/1.0/","source":"https://unsplash.com/photos/wJ2SaSiL5FA","creator":["superuser"],"contributor":["Louis Pellissier"],"subject":["Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro, Paris, France"],"date":"2026-04-18T10:33:22.424+02:00","created":"2015-06-02T22:06:23.031+02:00","modified":"2026-04-18T10:33:22.424+02:00"},"renditions":{"960x720":{"mimeType":"image/jpeg","link":"/.imaging/mte/travel-demo-theme/960x720/dam/tours/paris_eiffel_Louis-Pellissier_IMG_8643.jpg/jcr:content/paris_eiffel_Louis%20Pellissier_IMG_8643.jpg"}}},"@nodes":[]},{"@name":"Hut-to-Hut-in-the-Swiss-Alps","@path":"/magnolia-travels/Hut-to-Hut-in-the-Swiss-Alps","@id":"d30b9ca6-e22d-45c5-9456-7538ab7bccf8","@nodeType":"mgnl:content","name":"Hut to Hut in the Swiss Alps","description":"There's more to Switzerland than skiing","location":"Zurich, Switzerland","tourTypes":[{"@name":"active","@path":"/tour-types/active","@id":"eaf9a648-fae1-48ae-a293-69bed874f159","@nodeType":"mgnl:category","body":"Lazing about isn’t your idea of a holiday.

Here, you’ll experience a unique environment and way of life shaped by the tides. Houses here are built on meter high man-made hills called Warften to keep them above the sea-floods - known here as Land Unter. The islands are traced with tiny canals to drain the water after storms. But the locals, some 400 people, have also installed dams to let the silt settle out of the water. They must rely on this to slowly build up the height of the islands. It’s like a slow-motion race against erosion and rising oceans. Speaking of slow - you’ll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the island pastimes like the local card game (also called Land Unter), flying kites, or just wandering the wind-buffeted pastures, lightly populated with happy sheep and contented cows.</p>\n<p>Our trip will include walks on the extensive salt coated mudflats of this <a href="http://www.germany.travel/en/towns-cities-culture/unesco-world-heritage/the-wadden-sea.html" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><u>World Heritage</u></a> nature reserve, where you’ll be able to observe some rare birdlife.
