I looked into the Trek trips a while back, after the owners of my LBS did the California wine country trip. I think it was actually about 10 years ago now -- hard to believe! I liked the flexibility that you had in deciding how much to ride each day and that the logistics were all taken care of by Trek. Unfortunately I didn't have the money at the time, and still don't, thanks to the never-ending need for condo renovations.
One of my friends did a cycling trip in France a few summers ago with her husband, and they rode up Ventoux. I think she stopped a few times on the way up.
My only trip to Paris was back in the mid 1990s. We spent 9 or 10 days there doing typical touristy things. My favorite part was the gardens at Versailles.
