Your itinerary
Arrive in Paris
Start your Parisian city break by travelling to The City of Love, and spend the rest of the day at leisure.
You take the Eurostar service from London St Pancras International to Paris, arriving at Paris, Gare du Nord approximately 2 hours 15 minutes later. The Eurostar takes you to the heart of the city, where you'll be met to board a coach to take you to your hotel.
Your arrival time will depend on which train you catch (exact times will be provided in your travel documents) but whenever you arrive, you'll have the rest of the day at leisure. You might want to relax at the hotel, head out for a glass of vin at a cosy local bar, or just go for a stroll and soak up the romance of Paris.
Guided tour of Paris and Versailles
Take a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, see Versailles and enjoy views of the city lit up on a Paris 'by night' tour.
After breakfast, the coach will take you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see L’Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Champs Élysées, River Seine, the Louvre, in fact almost every famous landmark you will have ever heard of. You then leave Paris to take the short drive to Versailles where you can visit the majestic palace home of Louis XIV and the typically provincial French market town of Versailles itself.
Free afternoon
This visit will end mid-afternoon after which the coach will take you back to the hotel so you can spend the remainder of the afternoon as you wish, either shopping or more sightseeing.
Paris 'By Night'
During the evening, the coach will take you on a tour of Paris ‘By Night’. The whole city’s a work of art with monuments and buildings illuminated in the most tasteful manner, their reflections dancing on the River Seine with the majestic Eiffel Tower dominating the skyline: it looks so delicate it could almost be made of lace.
The tour does not take up the whole evening so you also have time to perhaps sample some of the famous Parisian nightlife.
Signature experience
We leave Paris for the short drive to Versailles. The majestic palace of the 'Sun King' Louis XIV is a must-see, and we’ve arranged timed tickets so you can explore the palace and gardens at your own pace. An audio guide is included which will bring the five centuries of the palace’s history to life.
Discover the magnificent Royal Apartments with their sweeping ceilings, view some of the 60,000 remarkable works of art and stroll through the glittering Hall of Mirrors, the historic spot where the famous Treaty of Versailles was signed, ending the First World War. It is also a pleasure to stroll around the stunning Versailles Gardens where you can admire the numerous ornate fountains, exquisite sculptures and splendid baroque garden designs.
