From its sun-dappled vineyards to medieval castles, the historic region of Languedoc in Southern France is bordered by the grand Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Tucked into valleys, you'll find quaint villages and vineyards, many of which have a history stretching back to the 8th century and the expansion of the Roman Empire. Known for its numerous Cathar castles established by religious warriors in the 11th century, the Languedoc region is a traveler's dream. Join Linda Jenkins from Vacations Abroad when she introduces you to this beautiful, charming area that provides the perfect French experience.

Winding cobblestone streets, red-tiled rooftops, azure blue waters – is there anything more enticing than a trip to Italy? Join Linda Jenkins from Vacations Abroad, and explore the Italian regions of Tuscany and Lake Como. Noted for its rolling landscapes and cities like Florence that have inspired artists for centuries, Tuscany beckons to the romantic traveler in all of us. Heading north, just 25 miles outside Milan, Lake Como welcomes you to its clear, blue shores. Over the centuries, the natural beauty of the lake has attracted aristocrats and celebrities alike. Ornate villas with formal gardens that were built between the 15th and 18th centuries abound, with many now open to the public. Say arrivederci Roma and buongiorno Northern Italy!
