Why visit Paris
Classic Paris sights and memorable excursions, with time to explore independently
Paris brings together world known landmarks, grand boulevards and small local corners that reward slow exploration. Many tours include a panoramic city tour to help with orientation, then build in time for personal discoveries, from riverside walks to museum visits. A River Seine cruise is a memorable way to see the city’s architecture from a different perspective, while the Eiffel Tower features on several itineraries for those keen on skyline views. Versailles adds a contrasting day out, with its palace and formal gardens offering a deeper look at royal France. Paris also links well to northern France, with routes that combine the capital with places such as Rouen and Normandy, creating a trip that balances cultural highlights with historic locations.
