Itinerary
You meet your fellow travellers and Tour Manager at London St Pancras this morning, ready to board the Eurostar to Paris. In the French capital, you change to the direct train to Mulhouse, passing through rural France on the way to this historic city in Alsace, near to the borders of Switzerland and Germany.
The focus of Mulhouse's medieval centre is Place de la Réunion, where you can find the Gothic Revival Temple St-Étienne and the pink and gold decorated town hall. Constructed in 1553, this striking Renaissance building displays allegoric frescoes representing vices and virtues. Your hotel is near the station, and it is here that you enjoy your first dinner together this evening.

The hotel was in the most beautiful setting on lake Orta - food was excellent and the infinity pool superb. The journey both ways was long but worth it - especially with the first night in Turin. Our tour guide, Linda, was first rate - I would thoroughly recommend the trip especially if you’ve never been to the mountains and lakes before.
