Vampires!
The Legends. The Stories. The Reality.
London and Paris. January 6 - 16, 2023

Are you ready for a spine-tingling journey?

Come explore the history of vampires in England and France! From the ruins of Whitby Abbey (where Dracula claimed his first English victim) to historic cemeteries teeming with creepy legends, we'll learn about the myths--and realities!--of vampires in European culture and literature.

Some Trip Highlights:

Visit a French museum of vampire history, replete with objects such as a 19th-century vampire hunter's kit
Follow an expert guide through Père Lachaise cemetery and learn its dark secrets
Travel to Whitby, the site of Dracula's arrival in England (and learn why Bram Stoker chose Whitby as a setting in the novel!)
Dine at a vampire-themed London pizza joint
Prowl through an English heath thick with vampire legends
Enjoy a meal at a spooky restaurant where patrons dine in complete darkness
Explore the extensive catacombs beneath the streets of Paris
Sample French wines (some blood red...) and cheeses (okay, not particularly spooky...) at a private tasting
See the sites of a real-life vampire's horrifying crimes
Drink a piña colada at Trader Vic's
Plus, visit the most famous sites in London and Paris, from Westminster Abbey to the Eiffel Tower!
