Avoyelles roots in northeast France and Germany tour

Fall 2022: Journeys in Genealogy

Following the success of the genealogy tour we did last fall, GBC Tours is proud to continue working with genealogist Cathy Sturgell, covering more of the home churches and villages of Avoyelles ancestors who left Europe for Louisiana.

This tour covers completely different locations from the previous one. As before, we present to you a tour that is full of genealogical history - but we've added a bit more time to allow for an experience balanced with culture, sights, and food.

We'll start and end in Frankfurt, Germany, a major airline hub for our travelers coming from all over the US. We'll cover regions including the spa towns of the Black Forest; the charm of Alsace-Lorraine, beloved for its half-timbered houses and shops; the untouched Argonne Forest, where Americans fought in WWI; the scenic Ardennes region of France and Belgium; two magical nights in the Old World city of Bruges; into the famed cities of Brussels and Aachen; and exploring hidden treasures in the alluring Eifel region of Germany before flying back home.
