PARIS - Where elegnace meets enchantment

Day 1: Athens – Paris (Panoramic City Tour)

First Impressions of the City of Light

Could there be a better way to begin our introduction to Paris than with its most iconic symbol? The answer seems obvious. The Eiffel Tower and the magnificent Trocadéro provide our first quintessentially Parisian views, setting the scene for an exciting exploration of the City of Light.

Paris unfolds before us through its most celebrated landmarks: the Arc de Triomphe, the famous Champs-Élysées, the Petit Palais and Grand Palais, the elegant Place de la Concorde, the impressive Opera House, the bustling Grands Boulevards and, of course, the Louvre Museum with its distinctive glass pyramid.

The French Academy, the Palais de Justice, the historic Pont Neuf and the City Hall complete the remarkable urban landscape of a city seemingly created to inspire admiration.

And, naturally, our tour would not be complete without the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of the most important symbols of the French capital.

From there, we continue towards the Panthéon, the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens, the atmospheric Saint-Germain district and the School of Fine Arts, allowing ourselves to be swept away by the Parisian atmosphere before arriving at our hotel.

When the city lights come on, Paris reveals yet another side of its character. Bars, bistros, restaurants and atmospheric cafés invite us to continue the evening at our own pace, enjoying the incomparable charm of the City of Light.

Day 2: Paris (Louvre Museum – Tuileries Gardens – Fragonard Perfume Museum)

From the Masterpieces of the Louvre to the Fragrant World of Fragonard

Between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde lie the famous Tuileries Gardens, one of Paris's most iconic public gardens, which we will reach by metro.

Majestic trees, beautiful flowerbeds and elegant tree-lined avenues create the perfect setting for our morning stroll, leading us to the entrance of the city's most famous museum.

The Louvre is an entire world of art and culture, a museum that alone is reason enough to visit Paris. Within its vast galleries, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace magnificently represent the grandeur of ancient Greek art, while Leonardo da Vinci's enigmatic Mona Lisa continues to captivate visitors.

Masterpieces of the Renaissance, Neoclassicism and Romanticism complete a fascinating journey through the history of world art.

Next, near the Opera House, an entirely different experience awaits us at the Fragonard Perfume Museum.

Here, we will be introduced to the fascinating world of French perfumery, discovering secrets, techniques, collectible objects and stories that transport us to another era. A visit filled with fragrances and fascinating impressions, revealing another aspect of the celebrated French art de vivre.

And from this point onwards, Paris is yours to explore!

The free time that follows is the perfect opportunity to discover the city at your own pace. Wander through elegant shopping districts and bustling boulevards, lose yourself in charming Parisian side streets or seek out the perfect view of the Eiffel Tower from the Palais de Chaillot.

Art enthusiasts can continue their day at the Musée d'Orsay, with its outstanding collections, while those seeking a more romantic experience may choose a cruise along the Seine.

Aboard the characteristic bateaux, watch Paris glide past: historic buildings, elegant façades and legendary bridges reflected in the river, while Notre-Dame, near the Île de la Cité, takes centre stage in one of the most recognisable scenes of the City of Light.

Day 3: Paris (Optional Visit to Versailles – Afternoon in Montmartre)

The Grandeur of a Bygone Era

Our suggestion for this morning's free time is an optional visit to the famous Palace of Versailles, one of the most popular attractions near the French capital, and with good reason.

The magnificent Palace of Versailles, which reached the height of its splendour under Louis XIV, the celebrated Sun King, is one of the world's most magnificent palaces and an unrivalled symbol of royal grandeur and luxury.

The palace and its impressive park are recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for their extraordinary wealth, architecture and artistic significance.

With hundreds of rooms, thousands of works of art and the famous Hall of Mirrors, Versailles reveals the full splendour of the French monarchy.

Optional excursion: €90 per person for transportation and guided tour (minimum participation: 15 people).

Additional palace admission fee: €30 per person, including audio headsets.

In the afternoon, we travel by metro to the artistic neighbourhood of Montmartre, the legendary district associated with names such as Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso.

With the white Basilica of Sacré-Cœur overlooking the city, its steep cobblestone streets, charming corners and famous artists' square, Montmartre reveals one of the most enchanting and recognisable sides of Paris.

Despite its immense popularity among visitors, the neighbourhood still manages to preserve something of the bohemian and artistic spirit that made it famous around the world.

Following our tour, you will have free time to enjoy Montmartre at your own pace, relax at one of its atmospheric cafés or simply wander through its picturesque streets.

The return to the hotel will be made independently by metro, at whatever time suits you best.

As darkness falls, Paris takes on its most enchanting appearance. It is no coincidence that Parisian nights have inspired generations of poets, writers and artists.

For those interested, the evening can continue with the spectacular show at Paradis Latin, while those who prefer to follow their own rhythm can immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere of the illuminated city.

Whatever you choose, one thing is certain: nights in the City of Light have their own irresistible magic.

Day 4: Paris (Free Day – Optional Disneyland Excursion)

Becoming Children Again in a World of Boundless Imagination

Here, fairy tales come to life and anything is possible!

Sleeping Beauty rests peacefully in her fairytale castle, a dragon lurks beneath it, Jack Sparrow draws us into the thrilling world of Pirates of the Caribbean, while Indiana Jones invites us to follow him on adventures in search of lost treasures.

And somewhere among castles, pirates, beloved characters and magical stories, Fantasyland reminds us that at Disneyland, dreams have no age limit!

Alongside the fairytale world of the main park, another exciting universe awaits, inspired by the silver screen and Disney's beloved characters.

Spectacular attractions, unexpected adventures and cinematic surprises complete a day filled with action, laughter and, of course, plenty of magic.

When darkness falls, the magic reaches its peak. Lights, colours, music and beloved characters create a spectacular finale, leaving us with that rare and wonderful feeling that, even for just one day, we have left the adult world behind and become children again!

In the evening, we return to Paris, filled with memories of a day straight out of a fairytale.
