DAY ONE - WELCOME!
Bonjour, Mes Amis! Welcome to the City of Lights. Once you arrive at the airport, your private driver will pick you up and bring you to your hotel where you will be greeted by your host, Samantha, to check into your hotel.
Depending on your flight arrival time, we will take a Champs-Élysées Walking Tour. This walking tour is a journey through the centuries, from the 1600s to the 1800s (when the Arc de Triomphe was built) and beyond to the glittering shops that today line the world’s most famous avenue.
On the way, we will pass near the Petit Palais’s monumental dome and the Grand Palais’s stunning glass ceiling. Soon, we will find ourselves on the grand and glorious Champs-Élysées.
If you love shopping — and love to splurge — our guide will also share tips on the top spots to pick up something special. The Champs-Elysées is definitely the best place to feel like “Emily in Paris!”
We will finish our guided Champs-Élysées walking tour at the entrance of the beautiful Arc de Triomphe. Our self-guided visit to the Arc de Triomphe, a monument to France’s war heroes and victories begun in 1806 (it took three centuries to build), will provide a unique view of Paris from above. See the Eiffel Tower and more as you enjoy the vibrant city scene and take photos you’ll cherish forever.
Afterward, we will head back to the hotel and have a welcome dinner later that night.
