Join with other Texas Girl Scouts to expand your mind and entice your tastebuds! Once you take in the breathtaking Parisian sights, journey east toward the German border to Strasbourg-a city known for perfectly blending both French and German influences. Before immersing yourself in ancient Roman ruins in Lyon, France's second-largest city and gastronomic capital, you'll tour an independent, family-run mustard mill in Dijon. Then, take your tour to new heights as you explore the picturesque medieval town of Annecy, located in the foothills of the French Alps. Next, travel to Avignon, cruise through the breathtaking Calanques, and explore the markets in the French Riviera before heading home. This trip will depart from the Houston Intercontinental Airport, and includes airfare, transportation in France, meals and accommodations in France, admission to all activities, and a dedicated tour guide for our group. Registration is open to girls who will be entering the 7th grade and up in 2026. Participants on this trip will have regular Zoom meetings starting in the fall of 2024. GSSJC Girl Scouts on this trip may also participate in the fall product sale, cookie sale, and other money earning activities to help fund the trip. If you are from another council, please check with your local council about fund raising options. Please note that participants must register for BOTH this event and through the tour company website at https://girltrips.eftours.com/tour-website/2669132BC
