Bartlett Area Chamber offers opportunity to experience French Riviera; free information session Jan. 18

The Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce is offering a unique opportunity for community members to experience a taste of the French Riviera. Through a partnership with CI Destinations, the chamber announced that it will offer a fully escorted, cost-effective tour of the French Riviera, departing Oct. 18, 2023.

The chamber will host an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18, at the Bartlett Community Center, Program Room 5, 700 S. Bartlett Road, to answer any questions regarding the trip and assist in early planning. Call the chamber office at (630) 830-0324 if interested in attending or register online at www.bartlettareachamber.com.

All are welcome to take advantage of this wonderful travel opportunity to experience the amazing French Riviera. Soak up the sun and spot the stars. Strung along 71 miles of azure coastline, the French Riviera is the glamour capital of France, where grand hotels line fashionable seaside promenades, mega-yachts dock next to fishermen unloading the day's catch, and the gently lapping waters of the Mediterranean sparkle invitingly.

From your home hotel in Nice/Cannes, visit Lerins Island, Monaco, Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Grasse, St. Paul De Vence, and more. The trip is offered at $3,399 per person and includes round trip airfare, airline fuel surcharges, taxes and fees, seven nights at a beautiful hotel, 12 meals, sightseeing and admissions per itinerary, professional tour manager, baggage handling and hotel transfers.

"This is truly an amazing opportunity to discover all the region has to offer, and we will take it all in as the Bartlett Area Chamber brings the dream of traveling to the French Riviera to life," said Nan Gudenkauf, president and CEO of the chamber.

Gudenkauf also shared that this trip will be the fifth of its kind offered through the Bartlett Area Chamber office. The chamber and friends will also experience culture and history through a chamber-sponsored trip to Greece in March of 2023.

In March 2022, a tour group traveled to Spain, and previous travel included trips to both Italy and China. These proved successful, so the chamber explored various partnerships before settling on CI Destinations as a travel partner and selecting the French Riviera for the second of the 2023 travel opportunities.

Space is limited, and all are encouraged to attend the Jan. 18 informational meeting at the Bartlett Park District. Visit www.bartlettareachamber.com, email nan@bartlettareachamber.com, or call the chamber office for details at (630) 830-0324.
