            • Paris

            • Bienvenue en France! Today our representative will be waiting for you at the Paris airport to give you your Travel Kit, containing all your documentation for the trip. From there, he will take you to your hotel, where you can get settled and relax from your flight. You will have the opportunity to unveil its greatest highlights in a walking tour with a local, knowledgeable guide. After the tour, you can take the rest of the day to further explore this majestic city. Stroll along the Seine River to the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, marveling at its stunning Gothic architecture. Take a moment to enjoy the charming bridges and historic buildings lining the river. Take a leisurely walk through the Tuileries Garden, soaking up the serene atmosphere and beautiful landscapes. Make your way to the Arc de Triomphe and climb to the top for a breathtaking view of Paris. Head to the artistic neighborhood of Montmartre, home to the stunning Basilica of Sacré-Cœur. Wander through its charming streets, visit the lively Place du Tertre where artists display their work, and perhaps have a portrait sketched as a memento. As evening approaches, watch the city light up as you glide past illuminated landmarks.
