Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in France and Spain

Walk through Monet's gardens at Giverny and photograph the medieval streets around Rouen Cathedral, the same Gothic church that inspired his famous series. The trip includes UNESCO-listed Carcassonne with its 13th-century castle towers, then heads to the clifftop sanctuary of Rocamadour perched above the Alzou valley.

Take photos of French and Spanish culture along the Douro River, including UNESCO-listed sites like Avignon's Palais des Papes and Salamanca's twin cathedrals. Capture Monet's gardens in Giverny, the medieval streets of Rouen, and the terraced vineyards of Pinhão. Document daily life in villages like Provesende and Les Andelys, where Richard the Lionheart's Château Gaillard stands above the skyline.

See the lit-up Eiffel Tower and Seine bridges on a night walk in Paris, then photograph Gaudí's architecture in Barcelona including the colorful mosaics at Park Güell and La Sagrada Família's towering spires. In Lyon, head up to the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière for great shots of the Rhône and Saône rivers meeting below.

Frame Montmartre's artistic streets and the three-tier Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard, then capture Barcelona's La Sagrada Família. You'll also photograph Nîmes' Tour Magne overlooking Jardins de la Fontaine and Lyon's secret Traboules passages while taking local trains through Southern France for 7 nights.

Check out Porto's Palácio da Bolsa with its intricate tiles, then head to the 13th-century São Francisco Church where you'll photograph the gold-leaf altar during a classical concert. Later, kayak along the Pinhão River beneath terraced vineyards and hike through Provence's lavender fields near Gordes.
