Paris by high-speed Eurostar - 3 days

Tour Highlights

A fully guided Paris tour using good quality 2 star city-centre hotel accommodation  - outstanding value 

Take a cruise on the river Seine, see the Eiffel Tower, walk along the Champs Elysées, see the Arc de Triomphe, visit Montmartre (the area in which the film Amélie was made), take a photo of the Moulin Rouge (the home of the cancan) see the Cathedral of Notre Dame and explore the Louvre Museum!

Day 1   - We start our 3 day tour from your chosen UK departure point. We travel to Paris by High Speed Eurostar train with our experienced Paris guide. On arrival in Paris we walk to our  2 star hotel located a very short walk from Gare du Nord Station in the centre of Paris. We leave our bags in the hotel and begin our sighsteeing by metro (the Metro is the Paris underground system) which includes our  guided tour of Paris. This tour includes a cruise on the spectacular river Seine and also gives you the opportunity to climb the Eiffel Tower (entrance fee is extra) to get a 'bird's eye view' of this wonderful city.

Then we pass by  the Arc de Triomphe and  Champs Elysées (with photo stops) before returning to the hotel.

 

During the evening, you will have the option to join your guide for dinner in a nearby local restaurant. This is a great opportunity to try the local food, whilst getting to know your fellow travellers (food, drink and any public transport is extra).

Day 2 - After  breakfast, meet the guide at 9am for a full day of sightseeing by metro. The first stop is Montmartre for the Sacre Coeur, Place du Tertre and Moulin Rouge. Then on to Ille de la Cite and the world famous Notre Dame Cathedral, with time for lunch and shopping on the banks of the Seine. The day finishes with some free time for shopping in Opera. Here you can shop in the department stores Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, see the Opera Garnier (entrance charge), visit the food shops Hediard or Fauchon, or maybe enjoy tea and macaroons at La Duree before returning back to the hotel.

Alternatively, you may wish to do your own sightseeing. The Ibis Gare du Nord is so central sightseeing on your own is a very simple option, and our guide is there to help you.  Some ideas are the Orsay Museum (1850-1914 art), the Pompidou Centre (modern art), or Versailles palace/gardens (outside Paris Centre).

Evening free to enjoy the Paris nightlife. From our hotel the metro station is a two minute walk, and all areas of Paris City centre are easily accessible in minutes by metro.

 Day 3 - A morning excursion to the Louvre Museum (entry not included) and your chance to see the Mona Lisa, the Venus De Milo, Michelangelo's Dying Slave or to follow the trail of the Da Vinci Code! In the afternoon we return to the hotel to collect our bags and take the short walk to Gare du Nord for your return Eurostar departing at 15:07. You return to Ashford by 16:06pm and  London by 16:37pm local time,

Cambridge and  Oxford clients will be transferred to and from the Eurostar terminal by feeder coach and will return to Cambridge and Oxford by train or feeder coach, depending on passenger numbers.
