Stop 1
Your day begins directly at Le Havre cruise terminal, where your professional driver will be waiting with a sign bearing your name.

-
Stop 2 · 45m
Cross the Seine to the Trocadéro esplanade for the most celebrated view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris — the panorama that has appeared on every postcard, every film and every travel photograph of the city for over a century. The ideal spot for your group photo and a moment to take in the full scale of what you are seeing.
-
Stop 3 · 1h
Stand at the foot of the most iconic monument in the world — the iron structure that Gustave Eiffel built in 1889 as a temporary exhibition piece and that became the eternal symbol of France. Walk the Champ de Mars gardens with the tower rising above you, and let your guide bring the extraordinary story of its construction and its place in French history to life.
-
Stop 4
Stand in front of the most visited art museum in the world — the former royal palace of French kings from the 12th century to Louis XIV, now housing over 35,000 works across 73,000 square meters of exhibition space. The glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei in 1989 is one of the most photographed structures in Paris, creating an extraordinary dialogue between eight centuries of French royal architecture and contemporary design
-
Stop 5 · 30m
Stand at the foot of Napoleon's monument to the Grande Armée — 50 meters of stone at the center of twelve converging avenues, where the names of 128 battles and 660 generals are engraved on the walls and the eternal flame of the Unknown Soldier has burned without interruption since 1923. Your guide brings the full sweep of French history to life here — from the Revolution to the Liberation of Paris in 1944, when General de Gaulle walked through the arch to the sound of gunfire still echoing from the rooftops above.
-
Stop 6 · 45m
Walk the most famous avenue in the world — 1.9 kilometers of perfectly straight boulevard from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, lined with chestnut trees, luxury boutiques and the most celebrated addresses in French history. Your guide tells the story of an avenue that began as a royal promenade in 1616, became the ceremonial axis of Napoleon's Empire and reached its defining moment on August 26, 1944, when Charles de Gaulle walked its entire length under sniper fire to announce the liberation of France to two million Parisians.
