ITINERARY

Day 1

We're setting out late at night/early in the morning from various pick-up points. The journey takes us through the scenic countryside of the Lorraine and Champagne regions.

During our stay in Paris experience all the excitement, culture, art and history the city has to offer. Our Sightseeing Tour features all the landmarks from the majestic Eiffel Tower to the designer shops and chic restaurants of the Champs Elysées, Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, Invalides Dome, Elysée Palace, Opera House and the historic City Island, the cradle of Paris.

Ride up the dizzying heights of the Eiffel Tower. Enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the city's most iconic monument (extra: ticket to top approx. € 13)

Before checking in to our hotel explore the ancient heart of Paris, the Latin Quarter, with its cobblestone lanes and medieval churches, visit Notre Dame Cathedral and be enchanted by its beautiful stained glass windows.

Day 2

Join us on an excursion to the Palace of Versailles, this 17th century masterpiece of baroque architecture. A vast and elegant symbol of the reign of Louis XIV and the dominance of France, it truly embodies the spirit of an age (extra: entry fee € 15; children free).

Discover the treasures and riches of the Louvre, one of the finest art museums of the world. Explore the underground remains of the medieval Louvre fortress, pay a visit to the Mona Lisa, or spend some time browsing the shops annexed to this majestic museum and former royal palace.

Soak up the unique atmosphere of the city in preparation for New Year's Eve, wine and dine, come along and indulge yourself with a traditional French Dinner and enjoy the charm and allure of this special evening out in Paris (extra: € 40). Embark on a Seine River cruise (extra: € 11) - like pearls on a string the city's oldest and most majestic monuments are lined up along the banks of the river and the illuminated Eiffel Tower becomes the focal point of the nighttime sky. Later in the evening the Champs-Elysées is the place to be to prepare for the countdown to the new year! Join the thousands of people walking the avenues with glasses of champagne in their hands and celebratory smiles on their faces. Amble through the crowds, enjoy the party, soak up the amazing atmosphere and wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Let us take you to the top of Montmartre and enjoy the magnificent view, have Paris at your feet, explore the cobblestone lanes of the old village and discover Painter's Square with its artists and entertainers. Have lunch at the Hard Rock Café (extra: € 20) or stroll through the nearby 19th century passages famous for their arts and crafts shops and lovely bistros and restaurants before it is time to begin our return journey.
