Day 1: The Heart of Paris – Art, History, and Architecture
Explore Notre-Dame de Paris on your own with an online audioguide (free entry), a timeless jewel of Gothic architecture, before meeting your local guide for a Walking Tour of the Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris.
Admire the Sainte-Chapelle and its stunning stained-glass windows, then discover the Conciergerie, a former royal palace and Marie Antoinette's prison during the Revolution. Enjoy a scenic ride in a Turtle electric vehicle along the Seine until you reach the Louvre area*.
After your lunch cruise or free time for lunch in one of the city's charming bistros (depending on the chosen option), immerse yourself in over 9,000 years of art and history at the Louvre Museum (from the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo).
Conclude your day with a peaceful stroll through the Tuileries Gardens, leading you to the Musée de l'Orangerie, home to Monet’s grand Water Lilies. A perfect finale filled with light, art, and poetry.
Day 2: The Splendor of Versailles and Parisian Icons
The following day, enjoy an inspiring excursion combining the elegance of Versailles with the admiration of some of Paris's most emblematic monuments. Travel comfortably and explore the magnificent Palace of Versailles and its Gardens with your reserved ticket, immersing yourself in the opulence of Louis XIV's royal residence.
Once back in the capital, stop at the Eiffel Tower to take photos of Paris's most iconic monument, then hop onto your Turtle electric vehicle for a relaxing ride along the Seine to the Musée d'Orsay. Conclude your two-day journey surrounded by artistic treasures at the Musée d'Orsay and discover the works of great Impressionist masters such as Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, and many more.
A perfect end to your Parisian adventure.
