Three Days in Paris

ITINERARY

Day 1

We're setting out late at night/early in the morning from various pick-up points. The journey to Paris 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 traditional landmarks from the majestic Eiffel Tower to the designer shops and chic restaurants of the Champs-Elysées, the Place de la Concorde with its famous obelisk, the unmistakable Arc de Triomphe, the Dome of Les Invalides, the Presidential Elysée Palace, the world-renowned Opera House and the historic City Island, the cradle of Paris.

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. Sit in a café and sip a coffee in typical Parisian fashion.

Wine and dine, come along and endulge yourself with a traditional French Dinner and enjoy the charm and allure of an evening out in Paris (extra: approx. €35).

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 age. Marvel at the Hall of Mirrors, from where the king radiated his power and the destiny of Europe was decided (extra: entry fee €13.50; children under 18 years old free).

Upon returning to Paris spend some time walking on the Champs-Elysées, the most beautiful avenue in the world. Admire the splendid architecture of the Arc de Triomphe and enjoy the cafés and luxurious shops along this prestigious avenue.

Discover the treasures and riches of the Louvre, one of the finest museums in the world. Explore the underground remains of the medieval Louvre fortress,  pay a visit to the the magnificent Mona Lisa, marvel at the Greek and Roman masterpieces,  wander through the Egyptian and Mesopotamian galleries or spend some time browsing the shops annexed to this majestic museum and former royal palace (extra: entry fee  €9.00, children under 18 years old free).

Relax at the hotel or sample some more of the delights of French cuisine at one of the local bistros before joining us for a boat ride on the Seine river. Like pearls on a string the city's oldest and most majestic historic monuments are lined up along the banks of the river with Notre Dame Cathedral on the City Island like a flagship in the Parisian landscape (extra:  €11).

Illuminated and sparkling, Paris truly lives up to its name as the 'City of Lights' when night falls. Get into the spirit with a visit to the Moulin Rouge Cabaret, where Montmartre's joie de vivre and famous bohemian atmosphere is still alive (extra: ticket €92).

Day 3

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