You will then discover Versailles and its legendary chateau.
An antique doll auction is also scheduled in Chartres, followed by the Chérubins Doll Show during the weekend of May 13 and 14.
Off we will then leave by private bus to Mulhouse, where we will unveil a charming French private collection, mostly focused on Fashion Poupées and their environment. Our host will offer our group a special private buying opportunity.
The Wurzburg castle will be an historical stop on our way to Coburg, where we will attend the well-known Puppenfestival. While in Thuringia, we will visit several doll and toy related museums, attend a street fair that is especially devoted to antique toys in Neustadt bei Coburg. We will also shop a variety of antique toy shops and attend the traditional Doll Show at the Frankenhalle.
After the Puppenfestival, we will discover the legendary toy museum in Nurnberg, enjoy the picturesque city of Heidelberg and finally head to Basel, where we will visit the gigantic Spielzeug Welten Museum and the very unique Kirshgarten Museum, where amazing antique dolls, soft animals and all sorts of toys are on permanent display.
A very traditional Italian gala dinner will end our Tour.
