Paris – The City of Lights and Romance
Few cities offer the kind of magical atmosphere you’ll find in Paris. Begin your journey with a morning visit to the iconic Eiffel Tower, where you can enjoy breathtaking views over the city. Explore the winding streets of Montmartre, where artists display their work and the architecture is rich with charm. Don’t miss the Louvre, home to thousands of works including the enigmatic Mona Lisa. For a more relaxed afternoon, take a leisurely walk along the Seine or enjoy a coffee at a charming street-side café in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. An evening in Paris would be incomplete without a visit to a cosy bistro, where you can savour French cuisine and watch the city light up around you.
