Day 1
Paris - Paris Panorama
Paris has a timelessness emanating from its streets. The beauty of wide cobblestone avenues shaded by elm and chestnut trees enchants Parisians and visitors from around the world. The scent of decadent melted chocolate mixed with cream and fruit becomes molded into a spectacular cake decorating the display case of a charming bakery. The Sacre Coeur sits at the top of Montmartre like a crown jewel shimmering in the sunlight overlooking the rooftops of the city below. When you arrive at the airport, your private transfer is already waiting. You wind through the streets of the city with the aroma of fresh baking baguettes filtering through the air.
Your hotel is located in the heart of the city where the streets are filled with bustling cafes and marvelous restaurants. The remainder of the day is yours to indulge in the Parisian lifestyle. A small park near the Notre-Dame de Paris is the perfect place to sit amongst the flowers and statuaries, taking in the quiet atmosphere and stunning rose window of the cathedral. Next door to the park is the English language bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, providing insight into the true lifestyle of a local.
