Historic Paris by Private Car: This half-day panoramic tour is the perfect introduction to the architectural beauty and vibrant street life of Paris. With your expert private guide, you’ll marvel at the city’s most iconic districts and landmarks—from the grandeur of the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower to the bohemian charm of the Left Bank. Drive along the Seine, cross the Île de la Cité, marvel at the obelisk at the heart of Place de la Concorde and take in the vibrancy of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter.

Tour Duration: 4 Hours
 
Half-Day Montmartre with Roundtrip Transfers: With captivating views over Paris, Montmartre feels a world away from the bustle of modern Paris. This morning, your private guide will lead you through its winding cobbled streets, where the charm of "La Belle Époque" still lingers. Once home to Benedictine nuns and later a magnet for artists and intellectuals, Montmartre became the heart of Parisian bohemia—its spirit immortalized by Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, and the lively cabarets of the 19th century. Behold the gleaming white domes of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, a stunning Neo-Byzantine landmark, and stroll through the lively Place du Tertre, where artists still set up easels in the square, capturing the romance and allure of Montmartre much as they did a century ago.  Tour Duration 3 Hours
 
Evening Dinner Cruise on the Seine with Roundtrip Transfers: Experience the enchantment of Paris from a unique perspective aboard our beautifully appointed river cruiser. Traveling along the Seine with magical views of illuminated landmarks like Notre Dame, the Louvre, and Eiffel Tower, this 2.5-hour dinner cruise features a gourmet multi-course menu—from starter and entrée to a cheese course and petit fours to finish the meal on a sweet note. Champagne will be served with appetizer and dessert and musical entertainment will set the mood. It’s an unforgettable evening of fine dining and classic Parisian ambiance, perfect for a romantic night or special celebration. Tour Duration 4 Hours
 
Wine + Cheese Tasting in a Parisian Cellar: If the world of French wines and cheeses feels a bit intimidating, this relaxed and friendly tasting is the perfect introduction. Gathered around a table with a knowledgeable host, you’ll sample three carefully selected wines that offer a flavorful journey through France’s most celebrated wine regions. Each pour is paired with a trio of artisanal cheeses from a top Parisian fromager, highlighting how regional flavors and traditions come together. It’s not a formal masterclass, but rather a casual, engaging experience designed to spark your curiosity, answer your questions, and leave you feeling more confident and inspired to explore French wine and cheese throughout your travels—and back home! Tour Duration 2.5 Hours

This day is yours to experience the allure of Paris at your own pace. With our centrally located hotels, it’s easy to step outside and find yourself immersed in the city’s timeless charm—whether you’re browsing boutiques in the Marais, wandering through the Luxembourg Gardens, or lingering in a café in the Latin Quarter. Paris is a city that is best savored slowly, and today is the perfect opportunity to follow your own rhythm. If you prefer exploring with a professional on hand to share their knowledge, expertise and insights, we do offer a selection of privately guided excursions.

The Normandy Landing Beaches

At Pointe du Hoc, stand atop the dramatic 100-foot cliffs scaled by U.S. Army Rangers to neutralize German artillery. Then walk the sands of Omaha Beach: The 34,000 American soldiers who landed here saw intense fighting and high casualties, making it a symbol of the fierce resistance faced by the Allied troops.
