Overview
This isn't about racing through a checklist of monuments. It's about experiencing the Paris
you came to see — the views, neighbourhoods, stories, cafés, hidden corners and
extraordinary landmarks that make the city unlike anywhere else.
Begin high above Paris at Sacré-Cœur before exploring the cobbled streets and artistic soul of
Montmartre. Hear stories of Picasso, Van Gogh, cabarets and bohemian Paris, and discover
corners many visitors simply walk past.
We'll pause for a classic Parisian moment at a local bakery before travelling across the city
like a Parisian.
Stand beneath the grandeur of the Arc de Triomphe and stroll along the legendary Champs-Élysées before heading to one of our favorite viewpoints of the Eiffel Tower — cameras
ready. Enter the old city, wander through the atmospheric streets of the Latin Quarter, cross the Seine and discover the stories, scandals, revolutions and characters that shaped Paris.
