Itinerary

Stop 1

Your private adventure in Paris begins with a convenient pick-up directly from the cruise port terminal or your hotel in Le Havre. Travel in comfort in a luxury vehicle while enjoying a scenic 2.5-hour drive to the French capital. You can choose between having a licensed local guide to help you explore Paris or experiencing the city at your own pace with a private driver. You can fully customize your experience by selecting the landmarks you want to visit or spending time wandering through iconic neighborhoods. The suggested itinerary below is just a starting point—this tour is fully customizable to match your interests.

Stop 2

Your first suggested stop is the world-famous Eiffel Tower. Admire its towering structure, a 19th-century engineering masterpiece, from its base while soaking in the surrounding landscaped gardens. This is the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or snapping memorable photos. If you'd like to ascend the tower, entry tickets can be arranged in advance—just let us know during booking.

Stop 3

Every corner of Les Invalides echoes with history, standing as a proud symbol of France's honor and legacy. This Parisian landmark is steeped in regal history and grandeur, making it an essential stop for visitors. Originally commissioned by Louis XIV as a sanctuary for aging and ailing soldiers, it now serves as a testament to France's military heritage. It houses several significant museums and monuments. Take a walk through its wide esplanades and grand courtyards to soak in the majestic vibe.

Stop 4

The Latin Quarter, located on the Left Bank of the Seine, is a historic neighbourhood known for its ties to education and culture. The district, which dates back to the Middle Ages, earned its name because Latin was once the common language of the area’s universities. Home to landmarks such as Sorbonne University, it is rich in history and academic significance. Its narrow streets are lined with charming cafes, unique bookshops, and classic architecture. The bustling atmosphere reflects the area’s modern-day role as a hub for students, creatives, and visitors alike, making it a vibrant and engaging part of Paris to explore.

Stop 5

Notre Dame Cathedral reopened to the public, welcoming visitors back to one of Paris' most iconic landmarks. Located on the Île de la Cité, this stunning example of French Gothic architecture features intricate stone carvings, magnificent stained glass windows, and its famous flying buttresses. While the central areas of the cathedral are now accessible, some restoration work, including work on the rear nave and stained glass windows, will continue through 2025. Visitors can once again admire the cathedral's grandeur and experience its spiritual ambiance, making it a must-see destination in Paris.

Stop 6

The Louvre, the world's largest art museum, is a centerpiece of Parisian culture and history. Located in the Louvre Palace on the Right Bank of the Seine, the building dates back to the late 12th century when it was originally constructed as a fortress. Its vast collection includes approximately half a million works, with 35,000 on display, ranging from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces. Among its most famous pieces are Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," the "Venus de Milo," and the "Code of Hammurabi." With its iconic glass pyramid entrance, the Louvre seamlessly blends historic grandeur with contemporary design, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable exploration of art and history.

Stop 7

The Champs-Élysées isn’t just one of the most famous streets in the world—it’s the heartbeat of Paris. Stretching nearly two kilometers, this iconic avenue links the historic Place de la Concorde to the majestic Arc de Triomphe. As you stroll down what’s often called "the most beautiful avenue in the world," you’re surrounded by luxury boutiques, flagship stores, and charming Parisian cafes, all framed by perfectly manicured trees. But the Champs-Élysées is so much more than a shopper’s paradise. It’s where Paris comes alive—hosting grand celebrations, lively parades, and even the spectacular Bastille Day military showcase. With its vibrant energy, stunning architecture, and undeniable charm, the Champs-Élysées offers a true taste of Parisian life you’ll never forget.

Stop 8

The Arc de Triomphe, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, is a powerful symbol of Paris and French history. Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to celebrate his victory at Austerlitz, it honors the nation's military achievements. At its base lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives in World War I. This monumental site offers visitors a moment to connect with France's rich past and legacy. After a day filled with Parisian delights, you will bid farewell to your knowledgeable local tour guide and make your way back to Le Havre.

Stop 9

Your Parisian adventure culminates in a serene drive back to Le Havre. The drive back offers a quiet change of pace from the energy of Paris. Moving through the French countryside, you’ll pass by small villages and open fields. As you near Le Havre, the coast comes into view, signaling the end of the day’s trip and a return to the city’s calm atmosphere.
