2016 Highlights

This was the 11th year for European Experiences! We hosted twelve groups this year, 141 people, in the Luberon, Chianti, Alsace, and the Cotswolds. One of our Luberon weeks in September was a special “Return to the Luberon” trip.

Meet our groups and share some highlights of our 2016 season, including an unexpected encounter in the Cotswolds!
