Day 2 is all about seeing Paris from a new perspective. Hop on board your sightseeing cruise along the Seine and enjoy the freedom to hop on and off at iconic stops such as Notre Dame, the Louvre, and Musée d'Orsay. Take your time to explore each destination on foot, or simply sit back and admire the views from the river. In the evening, why not treat yourself to dinner at a classic Parisian bistro?
On Day 3, start your morning slowly with a leisurely breakfast, maybe even pop by a local market for a taste of everyday Paris. For lunch, you’ll have a table reserved at Madame Brasserie, right inside the Eiffel Tower. Dining on delicious cuisine while gazing out over the city’s rooftops is truly an unforgettable moment. In the afternoon, wander through the Champ de Mars or explore the Trocadéro Gardens for the perfect Eiffel Tower snapshots.
Day 4 is all about Paris, your way. This day is left free for you to discover what interests you most. Roam the artist-filled streets of Montmartre, seek out timeless masterpieces at the Louvre, or simply people-watch from a pavement café with a fresh pastry and coffee in hand, the choice is yours.
