French America Line partners with French Heritage Society

French America Line partners with French Heritage Society
French America Line has been accepted as a member of the French Heritage Society, a nonprofit American organization created in 1982 to preserve, restore and promote French heritage throughout the US and France.

Brimming with French style, the 150-passenger Louisiane is now scheduled to begin sailing America's waterways in September.

A portion of proceeds from the sale of French America Line’s Curator Collection shore excursions that incorporate a focus on French heritage will be donated to the society to support its cultural and preservation initiatives in the US. Many of those are along the waterways where Louisane will operate, said Tom Markwell, president, French America Line.

The optional, extra-charge Curator Collection excursions provide an in-depth experience that could include an after-hours museum tour and dinner, behind-the-scenes previews of historic architectural preservation and restoration projects, private tours of celebrated art collections, exclusive musical performances, intimate wine tastings or regionally inspired cooking lessons.
