A Weekend In Paris

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and head to Calais for our journey home on LeShuttle. Time permitting, we make an en-route comfort stop along the way, giving you time to relax and reflect on the iconic sights, grand palaces and unforgettable moments of your Parisian escape.

Step inside the Hall of Mirrors and the lavish State Apartments of Louis XIV, where chandeliers glitter above parquet floors and windows frame ornamental parterres. Wander grand salons and royal bedchambers as your visit reveals courtly ritual, ceremony and the Sun King’s vision of absolutist power.

Continue into the formal gardens by André Le Nôtre, aligned with fountains, groves and the Grand Canal, and visit the Trianon estate and Marie-Antoinette’s hamlet when open. Learn how the Treaty of Versailles was signed here in 1919. This is an optional experience at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Join a guided panoramic tour across central Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, the elegant Place de la Concorde and the Louvre’s glass pyramid. Your guide blends orientation with stories and viewpoints so you can recognise riverbank neighborhoods, café quarters and grand boulevards with confidence.

Discover how Paris grew from the island heart of the Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame to Baron Haussmann’s 19th-century avenues, passing the gilded dome of Les Invalides and the artsy Left Bank. This is an optional experience at additional cost, bookable on tour.
