4 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.

The largest city in eastern France, Strasbourg is the official seat of the European Parliament. It also hosts the European Council, among other EU institutions. Strasbourg is situated in Alsace, a cultural region in eastern France, just a stone's throw from the country's borders with Germany. Since the 17th century, the Germans and the French took turns ruling the region, which resulted in an unparalleled blend of cultures. German traits remain in the more traditional aspects of life, such as cuisine and architecture, whereas modern institutions are dominated by French culture. Alsace is famous for its quaint villages and stunning architecture, but also for the wine, beer, and fruit liquors produced there.

Discovering Strasbourg's UNESCO Wonders

Please ask your travel advisor for the cost to add this to your package

In 1988, the Grande-Ile in Strasbourg was appointed to UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage List. A few decades later, UNESCO decided to add the Neustadt, the new town, to the list to celebrate Strasbourg's unique culture. Shaped by the French and Germanic influences the city has seen throughout the centuries, Strasbourg's culture reflects the city's distinct architecture. A great way to enjoy Strasbourg's beauty is to take a river cruise from the center, near the cathedral.
