FRANCE

Chirps and Churches: Nature and Culture in Provence and the Camargue

April 17-26, 2008

Mediterranean France is justly famous for the diversity of its birdlife and the richness of its 2,000-year-old culture.  This low-impact tour gives participants the opportunity to enjoy both, with mornings devoted to such avian specialties as Squacco Heron, Greater Flamingo, Slender-billed Gull, Common Hoopoe, European Bee-eater, and European Roller, and afternoons spent visiting artistic and architectural treasures from the Roman and medieval periods.  The food, the wine, and the landscape combine to make this the perfect European sojourn for birders and non-birders alike.

Fees

The price of $3,295 per person (double occupancy; single supplement $355) includes 9 nights of lodging and ground transportation from Arles (direct train available from Paris).  Meals are paid for by the participants.  Strictly limited to 10 participants.
