SUMMER '12 DATES NOW POSTED

World-renown sightseeing, shopping, eating and nightlife keep people coming back to Paris for more. People go to find love, or to get lost in it’s history. Enjoy the different neighborhoods as each has it’s own personality. Don’t be afraid of it’s arrogant reputation, take time to have a conversation with someone and break the ice by trying out a phrase or two of their language. They’ll be happy to do the same, if you catch them at the right time.

Our tour kicks off on Friday at 10:00 am as we give our short orientation talk. We kick off our adventure right in the historic heart of Paris and walk through the Latin Quarter and visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and the deportation memorial. We'll then catch the world-reknown Parisian metro all the way over to the Eiffel Tower where we'll skip the line and zip straight up to the 2nd level--my favorite from which to view the entire city. That night we'll catch dinner in the Rue Cler district and hop on a bike tour to take us through the City of Light's at twilight. We'll cap the day with a night cruise on the river Seine under the glittering Eiffel Tower.

The next day we'll check out the Louvre and set you free to explore to find the Mona Lisa and the Winged Statue of Victory. After a quick lunch, we'll hop on the metro and zip up to the top of the Champs Elysees--the world's most famous boulevard--where we'll set you free to explore the surrounding neighborhoods and world-class shopping. The day's not over yet! Once we meet back up we'll head over to Monmartre, the famous Red Light district of Paris where we'll check out the Moulin Rouge and head up to Sacre Cour at sunset.

On Sunday morning, we'll point you in all the right directions for more sightseeing or to catch your train or flight out of town. We often prefer to go explore one of Paris' many unique Sunday markets. Join us!
