Pilgrimage to Alsace

May 29th – June 11th

Meet our tour leader, Dr. Don Frazier of The Texas Center at Schreiner University in Paris on May 30, 2023 (so fly from the US on May 29) and begin a journey of discovery in France.

We will start out in Paris, and see the places you have often heard of, and a few you may not have known about—like the location of the embassy for the Republic of Texas! From there, we head to Normandy, where Texans like Earl Rudder helped win the beachheads and Schreiner’s own Frank Denius helped achieve the breakthrough at St. Lo. Then, we will go to the Palace of Versailles and see where modern Europe was made. We continue to Champagne, where we will learn about (and sample) the famous local products and learn about the region in World War I and the fate of Kerrville boys Sydney Baker, Earl Garrett, and Francisco Lemos. We will push on to Trier, Germany, see some Roman landmarks, and visit scenes of the Battle of the Bulge. From there, we head to Alsace, the Vosges Mountains, and Riquewihr, the hometown of our very own Charles Schreiner. His family’s move to Texas set into motion a chain of events that helped shape our world today.

Throughout the journey, we will eat at carefully curated and selected restaurants, drink well, and see breathtaking scenery. There may even be a surprise or two on the way back to Paris, where we will end the journey on June 10 and fly home on June 11 from Charles de Gaulle airport. The cost of this adventure is $5,500, not including airfare. Ground transportation is by luxury bus.

Includes all breakfasts, five lunches, and eight dinners including a Michelin 3-star dining experience. You will see some important places from the history of France, the United States, Texas, and Kerrville! There will be wine. There will be champagne. There will be remarkable food (French, German, and Alsatian). There will be castles and palaces. There is even an Alsatian cooking class. All the while there will be convivial company.

Deposits ($1,000) are due on November 1, 2022.
