PICK-UP

Pick up is included in this tour, from your hotel or rented appartment in Paris
SAINT-GERMAIN-DES-PRES

Walk through a local market, grab a pastry at the local bakery and stop at a café to grasp the essence of the french lifestyle and gastronomy.
LUXEMBOURG GARDENS

This garden is a stunning example of a French garden from the 1600's and a place you will want to relax in and never leave.
PANTHEON & LA SORBONNE

Walking through the Latin Quarter is a must. This student district welcomes one of the oldest universities in the world and the oldest in France, as well as a gem located on the top of the hill Saint-Genevieve, The Pantheon.
SHAKESPEARE AND CO BOOKSTORE

We cannot pass in this area without checking out the iconic Shakespeare & Co bookstore. Plus there is a Wallace fountain right in front of it, which you'll see everywhere in Paris.
CATHEDRALE NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS

We'll share with you the history of this iconic church and how the fire that happened in 2019 has impacted it. The front of the church is intact, so we'll be able to admire the gorgeous details.
PONT NEUF & ILE-DE-LA-CITE

Home to the old medieval palace of French kings, this island also hides a unique flower market and the oldest bridge in the city still standing today.
LOUVRE & TUILERIES GARDEN

You can't come to Paris and miss the Louvre pyramid, but you already know that. So after a few photos we go explore the beautiful statues of the gardens across the museum.
CLASSIC FRENCH RESTAURANT

Finally, we book you a lunch reservation at our recommended french restaurant, where you'll get to enjoy our favorite local dishes.
