While surfing the net looking for info on France for an already planned trip in May 2011 I stubbled upon the website for the officlal French tourist agency. It was a great site for info on France and they were advertising a sweepstakes giveaway of a trip to the Rhone-Alpes area of France. You had to answer a few wine related questions (which I am sure I aced since I have been acquiring knowledge on that subject one bottle at a time for years) and then reqister for the sweepstakes. I won!!!
The trip consists of round trip air, three nights accomadations, wine tastings, breakfast and dinner for the three days, a car and driver, and a rail pass.
We feel like we will extend the trip by a few days. To travel to France from Texas is just too far to go for only three days.I have now been reading about that area of France. Has anyone on the board been to this area and what can you tell me? I have until April 1, 2011 to take the trip. The way I read the info we can fly into and out of any city in France. Since we will be in Paris on the previously planned trips we would like to stay in the Rhone-Alps area or surrounding areas and away from Paris. Our planned trip to Paris would have been our first trip to France.
I remember the past thread about what you have won and I posted that I won a $250 gift certificate to a restaurant last year. Until this that was my biggest win.
I need suggestions, comments, and advice.
