We continue south through France and into Spain, to reach the resort of Roses for five nights.
This morning we board the Roses Express (little town train) for an included trip to the Cap de Creus Nature Park where we can admire the impressive sea views. Please note that the tracks on this tour are dusty, therefore, we recommend suitable footwear. This afternoon you have time leisure for you to begin your own exploration of the town. Roses is a modern town with shopping, restaurants and bars. Located on the northern edge of the Costa Brava, it is home to some of the most attractive but least crowded beaches in the area.
Included guided excursion, as we head back into France, and to Rivesaltes, where we join the Train du pays Cathere et du Fenouillèdes (also known as the Red Train). We journey through vineyards into the verdant heart of the French Pyrenees – from the mountains to the sea – to the pretty town of Axat. In the afternoon, on the way back to Roses, we make a short stop in Perpignan for shopping.
A relaxing day in resort, before Christmas lunch at the hotel.
Included guided excursion on the Rack Railway up to the Sanctuary of Nuria. Located in the Eastern Pyrenees, the mountain resort of Vall de Nuria, sits high above the Ribes Valley. Breathtaking scenery awaits as we climb more than 100 metres over the 12 kilometre journey. We enjoy a tasting of some local products.
We leave Roses and head north through France to our overnight hotel on the outskirts of Paris.

We are unable to guarantee that the hotel will be able to meet your dietary requirements. We find that the majority of European countries do not generally cater for vegetarians and that the meal supplied may well be what everyone else is having minus the meat.
We will of course endeavour to arrange for a vegetarian meal at the hotel. We do however suggest that you advise us of your dietary requests at the time of booking and recommend that you speak to the receptionist on arrival with regard to your request.
