3 Nights in Paris

3 Nights in Paris

Paris is situated in the northern part of France. The city sprawls over both banks of the Seine River and on two islands: the Îles Saint Louis and the larger Île de la Cité. The historical city center is built around the Seine, and it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. For a glimpse into the oldest part of Paris, take a stroll along the Seine and around the 1st and 4th districts to admire iconic landmarks, such as the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris or the Louvre Museum, among others. But leave some space and time for the rest of the city's districts, as each of Paris' 20 arrondissements possesses incredible treasures to discover.

Day 1

Day 1 - Arrival in Paris

Welcome to Paris! We'll arrange for a driver to meet you at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and drive you to your centrally located accommodation. The journey time to the city center is about one hour.

Our representative will then meet with you to answer any questions you have and to get you settled for the rest of your trip.

Paris For Lovers

Suggested activities for an additional cost, depending on your choice

Paris is the indisputable queen of romantic cities around the world. Planning a trip to the City of Light with your better half is one of the best ways to sprinkle your love story with the most cherished memories. To enhance your experience in this city of romance, we recommend indulging in an evening boat ride along the Seine to taste local delicacies and drink superb French wines with a view of the enchantingly illuminated capital. Alternatively, you can take a private tour of Montmartre, the most romantic neighborhood in Paris. If you're after an experience that combines romantic vibes with a fun day in Paris, why not jump in the back seat of a vintage 2CV and hold hands as the beauty of the French capital unfolds before your eyes?

Paris By Night

Suggestion to explore on your own

Whether inspired by Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris or not, your trip to Paris would never be complete without a night out in the glittering City of Light. From sipping on exquisite wine at a low-key bar to dancing the night away in a trendy club, Paris nightlife has it all. One of the things not to miss in Paris at night is a cabaret show. A tradition that dates back to the late 19th century, cabaret shows are an integral part of Parisian culture, and you can enjoy them in places like Moulin Rouge and Lido de Paris. For a more down-to-earth experience among locals, head to the neighborhood of Bastille, which turns into the liveliest party scene when the night falls in Paris.

Getting to Know Paris, One Museum at a Time

Suggestion to explore on your own

With a plethora of superb art collections, some of the world's most recognizable masterpieces, and several museums where rich history and impressive architecture reign, it's no wonder that Paris is often called the City of Art. From the most-visited museum in the world, the Louvre, to museums dedicated to famous artists like Picasso and Rodin, to collections showcasing the life and work of fashion icons, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Paris has it all. Apart from the precious exhibits, it often happens that the museum buildings themselves are sights to behold for their architecture alone. The Beaux-Arts railway station that houses the exquisite Musée d'Orsay and the high-tech structure of Centre Pompidou are only two of the French capital's architectural wonders. You'll find more details of the many museums you could visit in your Guest Page, once your trip is booked.

Small in size but full of history, the capital of the French department of Vaucluse is an unmissable city in the Provence region. Once the capital of the Christian world, Avignon is a city that enchants visitors with the splendor of its architecture.
