ABOUT THIS JOURNEY

For anyone who dreams of romantic strolls on the Champs-Élysées, the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower, and the first bite of a flaky croissant.

Paris does not ease you in; it arrives all at once. The weight of Notre Dame, Versailles’ opulent extravagance, the city skyline reflecting on the Seine. Through seven days, discover a side of Paris you never imagined. Experience a kaleidoscope of colors as light trickles into Sainte-Chapelle, then taste your way through beautiful Montmartre. You will handcraft croissants, lose yourself in the Louvre, and watch the Eiffel Tower shine brightly against the night sky. By the trip’s end, Paris will have entered your soul, making you feel like you already belong.

DAYS 1 – 3

Paris

In the City of Light, a boutique hotel in Saint-Germain-des-Prés awaits your arrival. Moments from the Seine, you’ll be just steps away from the most desirable corners of Paris. On the first day, feel the magnitude of Notre Dame, standing proudly despite its turbulent past. Wander the Île de la Cité as your guide brings the city’s history vividly to life. Just then, Sainte-Chapelle stops you in your tracks. Before you are fifteen panels of stained glass rising 50 feet in the most spectacular display of light you’ve ever seen. As the sun sets, the romance lives on aboard a double-decker bus with a six-course dinner and dazzling glass roof views. Finally, taste croissants warm from the oven, savory charcuterie, a bounty of cheeses, and plentiful wine in Montmartre, a neighborhood that has seduced artists and wanderers for centuries.

DAYS 4 – 5

Paris

Versailles fills half of the day and earns every minute of it. This gilded palace stretches on and on in a scale that’s difficult to fathom. Just as incredible as the lavish residence are the opulent gardens, a living masterpiece many have tried to recreate. A morning at the Louvre follows, as the light creeps into the galleries of one of the world’s greatest collections. The evening delivers what has been building all week: the Eiffel Tower aglow in the fading light, then a glittering show at nightfall. Spend some relaxing moments cruising down the Seine in a luxury boat and savoring French cuisine. Before disembarking, a champagne toast will be justly due to celebrate this unforgettable journey.

DAYS 6 – 7

Paris

The final days are yours to live the sweet life, or la douceur de vivre, as the Parisians say. Enjoy a morning learning the secrets of France’s most iconic pastry: the croissant. Led by an expert chef, you’ll craft this delicacy layer by flaky layer, then taste your creation straight from the oven. The afternoon opens at Musée de l’Orangerie, where you’ll gaze upon Monet’s Water Lilies in their tranquil magnificence. Take the last day to stroll through Champs-Élysées, exploring to your heart’s content and browsing for something special to take home. You may wish to climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe to see Paris spread outward as far as the eye can see. With the City of Light shining before you, you’ll already be counting the days until your return.

WHY THE PRICE CHANGES

Private drivers and many of your arrangements are priced per vehicle or per booking, not per person. The more of you who travel together, the more those costs are shared, so the lower the price for each person.

Prices are subject to change depending on your preferred dates of travel. Price does not include international flights.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you want to know

A selection of questions about this itinerary and planning a trip to Italy. For more, visit our full FAQ page.

Can several households on a group trip each pay their own share?

Yes, our online payment portal lets each traveler log in and make payments toward their own portion of the trip, on whatever schedule works best for them.

When should we purchase travel insurance relative to booking our trip?

As soon as possible after your deposit, since some cancellation-related benefits are time-sensitive and tied to how soon after booking you purchase coverage.

Do we need to budget separately for travel insurance?

Yes, we recommend it for every trip, but it’s not included in the price.

Is there a local city tax to budget for?

In most cases, yes. City tax is not included in your trip price and is paid locally, usually at hotel checkout, with the amount depending on the city and the hotel’s category. We’ll flag the specifics for your destinations on your itinerary, since rates and structures vary by country.

Is it easy to get around Paris without a car?

Very. The metro is extensive and affordable, and Uber, along with other ride-hailing apps, operates throughout the city.

Do restaurants expect us to linger after our meal?

Yes, and you’re welcome to. Unless you ask for the check, no one will rush you, dining is meant to be unhurried.

What should we know about safety in Paris and other cities?

France is generally very safe for travelers. The usual precautions apply in busy tourist areas and on public transport, where pickpocketing is the primary concern, not violent crime.

Are credit cards widely accepted in France?

Yes, though American Express is accepted less often than Visa or Mastercard. We recommend carrying a widely accepted card as your primary method of payment.

PREFER SOMETHING ENTIRELY YOUR OWN?

We build bespoke journeys too.

When your vision calls for something entirely custom, it deserves to be designed from the ground up. Our bespoke process begins with an unhurried discovery conversation.
