Nine days across Italy & France — canals, cathedrals, prosciutto, and the packaging technology that ships the world's food.
Chicago O'Hare to Munich overnight, down to Venice, then a loop through the Veneto, Emilia-Romagna's Food Valley, and westward to Brittany before flying home from Paris. Cities, BW sites and every hotel are pinned — click any pin for details and directions.
Photos load live from Wikimedia for each destination. Overnight stays are noted on each stop.
Five stays chained back-to-back from July 18 to 25. Each card has a photo, the mini-map location, and a one-tap Directions button that opens Google Maps.
Two tickets cover the trip — the transatlantic Chicago ⇄ Paris itinerary and the intra-Europe Bologna → Brest hop that carries you from the Food Valley to Brittany.
