Day-by-day itinerary

A sample plan. We adjust the days, pace and activities to fit your trip.

Day 1

Seine and sparkle

Cruise at sunset and watch the tower sparkle.

  • Seine river cruise. An hour on the river past the city's landmarks, especially lovely at dusk.
  • Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro. Book summit or second-floor tickets on the official site well ahead, or simply admire it from Trocadéro and the Champ de Mars. The tower sparkles for five minutes on the hour after dark.
Day 2

Montmartre

Village lanes and a cabaret night.

  • Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur. Climb to the white basilica for views, then wander the artists' square of Place du Tertre and quiet backstreets.
  • Cabaret or jazz evening. A classic cabaret show or a smoky jazz cellar in the Latin Quarter.
Day 3

Market and gardens

A cooking class and a long dinner.

  • Food market and cooking class. Visit a market like Marché d'Aligre or Rue Cler, or take a pastry or cheese-and-wine class.
  • Luxembourg Gardens and Saint-Germain. Pull up a green chair in Paris's favorite park, then browse cafés and bookshops nearby.
  • Bistro dinner. Classic French bistro dishes: steak frites, duck confit and a carafe of wine. Reserve ahead for popular spots.
Day 4

Impressionists

A last morning of art.

  • Musée d'Orsay. The world's great collection of Impressionist art in a former railway station. Closed Mondays.

Policies depend on the supplier and fare. We tell you the exact cancellation deadlines and any fees in writing before you commit.

Prices and holds

Fares and rates change until they're booked. Some suppliers let us hold a rate briefly and many airfares can't be held, so we'll tell you what's possible for your trip.
