Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a three-hour drive via the motorway to Paris.
Upon arriving in Paris, you'll drive along the elegant, tree-lined Champs-Élysées, past the Arc de Triomphe with a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
You'll pass the Place de l'Opera, often called the Hub of the Universe, and considered one of the most elegant streets in Paris with its well-designed houses and luxury shops. Continue to Pont Neuf, 'the new bridge," now the oldest bridge in Paris, then make your way to the Ile de la Cite, one of two natural islands in the Seine within the city of Paris.
Next on your itinerary is lunch at a charming Parisian restaurant.
After lunch, enjoy a stop at the iconic Eiffel Tower for some free time to take photos and explore. The Eiffel Tower was built for the World's Fair in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789. In 1916, the first wireless telephones were tested on the tower. Although meant to last for the duration of the World's Fair, the Eiffel Tower still stands today, despite all protests that this huge 'object' wouldn't fit into the architecture of Paris. Today, the Eiffel Tower is a beloved landmark of Paris and is the symbol of the 'City of Light.'
Continue your city tour, passing the Louvre Museum and the Tuileries Gardens, a stretch of French style alleys and lawns along the Seine River right bank, before reaching Place de la Concorde, the largest square in Paris. You'll stop by the Hotel des Invalides to capture a photo or two, then embark on a drive back to the pier.
