Adventure Awaits!

There are countless things to see and do in and around Paris! Here are a few examples of what you’ll see while you’re abroad.

Paris Walking Tour and Welcome Dinner

A cruise from the Parc de la Villette to the Musée d’Orsay will allow us to experience the atmosphere of “Parisians’ Paris.” This cruise, commented by a guide, combines not only some of the landmarks of the City of Lights, but also some more secret sides of Paris. It will take us through four double locks with swirling waters and two swing bridges. We will share the pleasure of the walkers strolling along the banks of the Canal Saint Martin lined with pretty boutiques and charming cafés and slide under the mysterious and spectacular vault of the Bastille.

The Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles, a former French royal residence, is one of the most famous monuments of World Heritage distinction. With 60,000 artworks, collections of Versailles illustrate five centuries of French history. It is one of the most visited attractions in France and must-see French landmark. Before the guided tour of the King’s Private Apartments and Royal Opera House, we usually visit the State Apartments with the Hall of Mirrors, an impressive seventy-three meters long gallery that pays tribute to the political, economic and artistic success of France. After the tour and before enjoying the wonderful royal gardens, we will also visit the Queen’s Apartments.This incredible palace in the wealthy suburb of Versailles is truly a sight to behold. Louis XIV moved the royal family from the heart of Paris to here in 1682. From that point until the French Revolution, this was the seat of the French Monarch. It serves as a reminder of the Ancien Regime who once governed France under an absolute monarchy, although the current Fifth Republic fully endorses the palace as one of the finest tourist attractions in the country.

Boat Cruise on the Canal Saint Martin

A cruise from the Parc de la Villette to the Musée d’Orsay will allow us to experience the atmosphere of “Parisians’ Paris.” This cruise, commented by a guide, combines not only some of the landmarks of the City of Lights, but also some more secret sides of Paris. It will take us through four double locks with swirling waters and two swing bridges. We will share the pleasure of the walkers strolling along the banks of the Canal Saint Martin lined with pretty boutiques and charming cafés and slide under the mysterious and spectacular vault of the Bastille.

As we said, there are countless things to do in and around Paris. The following are not planned trips for your program, but you shouldn’t miss this opportunity to see some of these incredible sights!

The Eiffel Tower

What can one say that hasn’t already been said about the Eiffel Tower? It may very well be the most iconic building in all of France!

Musée d’Orsay

Housed in the old train station building, that looks like a palace, and constructed for the 1900 World Fair, the Orsay museum of fine arts is internationally renowned for its amazing collection of Impressionist art. There is an almost endless list of featured artists, which includes Bonnard, Cézanne, Courbet, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Millet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Rodin, Seurat, Sisley and van Gogh. During the “Masterpieces of the Musée d’Orsay” guided tour you will get an overview of the breathtaking museum collections.

Les Invalides

A military museum which features all manner of French military exhibits dating back to the ages of antiquity. What you see here is Napoleon’s ornate tomb, one of 15 tombs at Les Invalides, and countless other vaults.

Latin Quarter and tea and sweets in a Paris Mosque

The name Latin Quarter comes from the fact that Latin was the only language used at school during the Middle Ages and this part of the city has been famous for centuries for its universities. We explore on foot the myriad streets of this beautiful district frequented by students, travelers and intellectuals. After seeing a baroque fountain of St. Michel, Café de Flore, popular hub of famous writers and philosophers, Sorbonne University, Pantheon and Rue Mouffetard, which is one of Paris’s oldest and liveliest neighborhoods, we will have just enough energy to come to the Paris Mosque and try its famous mint tea and sweets.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame

Widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, the Notre Dame Cathedral is also one of the largest houses of worship in the entire world.

And that’s only scratching the surface!
