London, Normandy, St. Malo, Paris, with extension to Amsterdam | EAF
Separated by the English Channel, these two countries share a long, storied history. See remnants from the distant past at Buckingham Palace, Canterbury Cathedral, and Notre Dame. In more modern times, the echoes of D-Day linger at the beaches in Normandy, and the bustle of London’s Piccadilly Circus rivals the always-fashionable Champs-Élysées in Paris.
