Paris & The French Riviera

Arrival at the airport in Paris. You will be greeted by our local representatives and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to discover Paris, the City of lights, fine food, iconic monuments, and shopping galore.

After a first hearty Parisian breakfast, enjoy your Hop-On Hop-Off full-day ticket to explore Paris’ most iconic districts. Discover Montmartre, with its romantic stairs, colorful street artists and the sumptuous Basilique du Sacré-Coeur and its breathtaking panorama of the city. Explore the Jardins du Luxembourg, renowned for its tree-lined walks and wonderful flowers, and rest on the steps of the nearby Pantheon de Paris and its 18th century neoclassical architecture. Not far from there, in the 5th arrondissement, you can stroll on rue Mouffetard, one of the most animated streets in Paris with its bistros, gourmet food shops offering fine cheeses and chocolate, fragrant flower shops and so much more. A truly Parisian thing to do!

Following breakfast, stroll along the banks of the Seine to the majestic Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture built between the 12th and 14th centuries. Continue along the banks of the Seine, observing the booksellers who have become an integral part of it, until you reach Place de la Concorde, the largest square in Paris, and its 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk of Luxor. Finally, you will reach the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris and France, where you can immortalize your fondest memories of the City of lights. In the afternoon or at sunset (departures are available between 2 and 8 PM), embark on a one-hour cruise on the Seine (included), an interesting and original way to discover Paris. While not missing a beat in commentary on Paris’s historical and architectural treasures, enjoy a quick bite and a glass of wine at the boat’s bar (not included).
