England, France and Spain
Discover a varied spectrum among three special cultures.
In London, Buckingham Palace evokes royalty, while a dinner of fish and chips is for everyone. French heritage comes into focus in the halls of the Louvre, at the chateaux of the Loire, and in the seaside cafés of Biarritz. And Barcelona proudly displays the handiwork of Spain’s most brilliant artists and architects.
