The Jutland peninsula, thrusting between the North Sea and the Baltic, forms the mainland and is surrounded by hundreds of islands of all sizes. The colors are gentle, the green of the countryside is omnipresent, and the low beams of light are superbly golden during certain summer evenings. Copenhagen, capital of Denmark, is the largest city in Scandinavia, with more than one million inhabitants. Blending the dynamism of a metropolis and the quality of life of a small town, Copenhagen offers you its picturesque neighborhoods and its colorful quaysides. An astute blend of softness, elegance and vitality.

Day 5 Bergen, Norway
The rows of brightly painted gabled houses are undoubtedly the best-known image of medieval Norway. Located at the end of Byfjord, and dominated by the surrounding peaks, Bergen was the capital of Norway in the 12th and 13th century and has preserved some very beautiful monuments from the time when it was home to royalty. Wandering through Bergen’s streets means going back in time, in search of the hidden treasures that have been listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. A veritable open-air museum, Bergen is home to a thriving artistic community of painters, potters, jewelers.
Day 6 Geiranger, Norway
This modest mountain village is located in a beautiful landscape and takes part among the most famous in the country. Nestled at the Geirangerfjord, surrounded with high mountains, Geiranger keeps its rustic atmosphere, consolidated by a strong torrent tumbling down the banks of the fjord and by a small wooden church for 150 years.
