Paris was, is and always will be, something rather special.

So if you have a special occasion to celebrate or just need a short break in an iconic city to recharge your batteries, why not take a few days with us in Paris. 

Sightseeing? The list is endless. Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Champs Élysées, Sacré-Coeur, Eiffel Tower and much, much more. You’ll see the main sights on a coach tour of the city, but you’ll also have ample free time on this tour to spend as you wish.

Shopping lovers should visit fine shops such as the Galeries Lafayette and the smart arcaded Rue de Rivoli, while art enthusiasts must take a trip to the world-famous Louvre – home of the Mona Lisa - Musée d’Orsay, home of the world’s finest Impressionist art collection. 

There is so much to see and do - you will leave Paris having had a taste, but you will always want to come back for more. It is everything you imagine it to be, romantic, inspiring, vibrant even outrageous, but best of all Paris is unique – come with us and see.

Your itinerary

Map of Eurostar railway in France
Day
1

Arrive in Paris

Start your Parisian city break by travelling to The City of Love, and spend the rest of the day at leisure.

A view of Paris rooftops with the Eifel Tower on the horizon

You take the Eurostar service from London St Pancras International to Paris, arriving at Paris, Gare du Nord approximately 2 hours 15 minutes later. The Eurostar takes you to the heart of the city, where you'll be met to board a coach to take you to your hotel.

Your arrival time will depend on which train you catch (exact times will be provided in your travel documents) but whenever you arrive, you'll have the rest of the day at leisure. You might want to relax at the hotel, head out for a glass of vin at a cosy local bar, or just go for a stroll and soak up the romance of Paris.

Day
2

Guided tour of Paris and Versailles

Take a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, see Versailles and enjoy views of the city lit up on a Paris 'by night' tour.

Free afternoon to explore Paris
Tour Paris 'By Night'

After breakfast, the coach will take you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see L’Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Champs Élysées, River Seine, the Louvre, in fact almost every famous landmark you will have ever heard of. You then leave Paris to take the short drive to Versailles where you can visit the majestic palace home of Louis XIV and the typically provincial French market town of Versailles itself.

Free afternoon

This visit will end mid-afternoon after which the coach will take you back to the hotel so you can spend the remainder of the afternoon as you wish, either shopping or more sightseeing.

Paris 'By Night'

During the evening, the coach will take you on a tour of Paris ‘By Night’. The whole city’s a work of art with monuments and buildings illuminated in the most tasteful manner, their reflections dancing on the River Seine with the majestic Eiffel Tower dominating the skyline: it looks so delicate it could almost be made of lace. 

The tour does not take up the whole evening so you also have time to perhaps sample some of the famous Parisian nightlife.

Day
3

Montmartre

Explore Montmartre, popular with artists in Paris throughout the ages, before enjoying a free afternoon.

Free afternoon in Paris

This morning, after breakfast the coach will then take you to one of the most picturesque and atmospheric quarters of Paris, Montmartre, home of the artists and street entertainers, with of course the whole area dominated by the white domed basilica of the Sacré-Coeur.

You will have time to wander among Montmartre's charming, cobbled streets and see such sights as the Moulin Rouge, where Toulouse-Lautrec found most of his models; Vincent Van Gogh’s and Renoir’s houses; the famous club of the Lapin Agile; the oldest vineyard in Paris and many other interesting sights.

Free afternoon

This afternoon you are free to sightsee in this beautiful city as you wish, so what is it to be? Perhaps a trip up the Eiffel Tower, a cruise on the Seine, a browse amongst the antique shops, a wander around the picturesque gardens, window shopping or take your time to visit Paris’ incredible range of attractions.

This evening you have the opportunity to visit one of the best cabarets in the city, the stunning Paradis Latin (full details of this excursion will be sent with your confirmation).

Day
4

Return home

Enjoy a leisurely start to the day before transferring back to Gare du Nord to catch the Eurostar back to London.

Enjoy one last leisurely breakfast in Paris before catching the coach transfer to Gare du Nord station to take an early afternoon Eurostar service, arriving at London St Pancras International approximately 2 hours 15 minutes later (exact time will be given on travel documents).
