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.
