Tour of Versailles and Giverny

The breathtaking Palace of Versailles is one of the most famous tourist attractions in France and Giverny is the birthplace of Impressionism, home of Claude Monet. Both places should be on your itinerary for an unforgettable Paris vacation and can often be experienced as a combined tour excursion.

Seine Cruise

Cruising down the Seine River gives you a completely unique view of Paris, as you can experience monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Conciergerie, and more. Cruises and tours are offered at a variety of times throughout the day and often include delicious meals.

Louvre

The Louvre is the largest art museum in the world, home to original masterpieces you can’t see anywhere else. The unique design of the museum makes it impossible to miss, as it is comprised of three pyramids that have become iconic landmarks recognized worldwide.

Musee d’Orsay

Formerly a railway station, the Musee d’Orsay along the Seine River is now one of the most well-known art museums in the world. The museum displays art collections from 1848 – 1914, including photography, paintings, sculptures, and more. It also is the home to the largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world.

Sacre Coeur & Montmartre

Sacre-Coeur Basilica stands at the highest point in Paris, located at the top of Montmartre Hill. The entire area is beautiful and full of unique history and art to experience. Sacre-Coeur Basilica is known for its towering domes.

Avenue des Champs-Elysees

The most famous place to shop in Paris is the Avenue de Champs-Elysees. This street is full of cafes, restaurants, shops, and theaters. It’s the best place to visit in Paris if you’re looking for a luxurious shopping experience among Parisian fashionistas.

Arc de Triomphe

Place de la Concorde

At the end of the Champs-Elysees is the Palace de la Concorde. It was originally known for being an execution site during the French Revolution, as Lous XVI and Marie-Antoinette faced the guillotine there.
